Xiangnan TV's variety show is called "Masked Talent Guessing Game", and its game rules are similar to a variety show called "The Masked Singer Guess" that Wang Chao watched in his previous life.
The difference is that the variety show in the previous life invited people from the entertainment industry, and the on-site guests were also people from the entertainment industry. However, this program Xiangnan TV was not for the entertainment industry from the beginning. Instead, it found people from various professional fields and took the path of popularizing insider knowledge of various industries.
In this way, it is slightly lacking in entertainment, but it has done a lot in educational significance and industry promotion, and it has become a positive energy program.
For this kind of program that can really promote table tennis, Wang Chao is naturally happy to participate.
But he is still a little worried, because he is not an outgoing person in nature, and he is not sure whether he will be quiet after he actually takes the stage.
Fortunately, there is also Hu Buming.
"Brother Chao, just watch. Although I, Hu Buming, am not very good at playing, these things are my strong point. I guarantee that they won't be able to guess my identity in the end. By the way, Brother Chao, do you want me to give you some advice so that you can persevere for a while longer?"
The current Hu Buming is very different from last year. The gap in strength between him and Wang Chao has been completely widened. Even if there was no incident at the selection competition at the beginning of the year, he would be embarrassed to say that he is looking for Wang Chao again. Revenge, after all, he participated in an open competition and didn't even make it out of the qualifying round, while Wang Chao went to two world championships and won two championships, defeating many famous figures in the international table tennis world. In the end, even Sun Tianlong was destroyed.
Don't underestimate the battle between Spade Q and Liaoning Province Zhonggang, which is insignificant to the league. In fact, the Wang Chao before that game and the Wang Chao after that game are two completely different concepts in the eyes of the world table tennis world.
The previous Wang Chao was always a young player no matter how he performed. No matter how good his performance was, he was only an "excellent young general", "a very good young general", "a very good young general", and "a young general who can support Huaping for five to ten years in the future."
But now, when others mention him again, they are "the one who defeated Sun Tianlong", "another dominant player from China Table Tennis has emerged", "the one who is vaguely on par with Sun Tianlong Luo Jiu", "the major hidden danger that the European table tennis world must solve".
Did you see it?
Now Wang Chao already looks like a giant. If he defeats Sun Tianlong or Luo Jiu in public again, he will become one of the three giants of Chinese table tennis.
So Hu Buming had a very upright attitude and directly called him "Super Brother". In fact, he and Wang Chao debuted in the same year and at the same time. Even their debut matches were on the same day, even in terms of months. He is also slightly older than Wang Chao. After all, Wang Chao is a Libra with leadership qualities, while Hu Buming is "the tail of July, that is Leo."
He was full of enthusiasm and wanted to teach Wang Chao how to participate in variety shows, but unfortunately Wang Chao smiled and shook his head, rejecting his offer of help.
Xiangnan TV's reception work was very solid. As soon as Wang Chao and Hu Buming arrived at Xingcheng City, someone came to pick them up and stayed with them throughout the whole process. Basically, they didn't need to The two of them didn't worry about anything until they went backstage and met everyone from "Masked Talent Guessing Game". Xiangnan TV was so enthusiastic that Wang Chao was a little overwhelmed.
This is also common sense, because Wang Chao just defeated Sun Tianlong a week ago and is now probably the hottest table tennis star in the entire country of China. Although his status is not as good as Sun Tianlong and Luo Jiu, in terms of public curiosity and thirst for knowledge, he is far better than the first two.
After all, he is a newcomer and has turned from amateur to professional. The whole process is like a legend. At the same time, his debut time is still short, and a lot of background information is kept secret. Unlike the five main players of the national team, his information has already been memorized by fans.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Chao did not meet the host of the show, Teacher He, who is also the mainstay of Xiangnan TV.
This is because when Wang Chao and Hu Buming come on stage, even the host will not know their identities. Only in this way can the authenticity be ensured to the greatest extent.
During the prime time at nine o'clock that night, "Masked Talent Guessing Game" started broadcasting on time.
Xiangnan TV is a star, so the program is also for the whole country, and with its strong appeal, at this moment, countless table tennis enthusiasts in China are sitting in front of the TV, interested in guessing who is behind the mask.
The famous host Teacher He appeared on the stage, gave a passionate opening speech, and then introduced the guests one by one.
I have to say that the guest lineup is very strong.
The first one to enter was Huashi Sports Channel, a professional table tennis commentator and former table tennis mixed doubles World Champion Yi Jing.
Although everyone is annoyed by Yi Jing's commentary, it has to be said that she has been commentating on table tennis matches for more than ten years and is still well-known. At the variety show, she received warm applause, and even everyone in front of the TV couldn't help but smile indescribably.
For no other reason, I just want to see if this sister will still have divergent thinking, talk nonsense, and be incomprehensible during the variety show.
Next to enter is Hou Xijia, the famous table tennis professional commentator on the Silver Ball Dance website.
The popularity of Hou Xijia on the Silver Ball Dance website is actually far less than that of another well-known commentator Brother Da Ma, but the cool thing about this guy is that he is really professional.
Rumor in the world: Watching Brother Da Ma is just like Tu Yile. If you really want to learn technology, you have to watch Commentator Hou.
When explaining the game, this person can not only understand and explain most of the game details, but he can also find a professional player or professional coach to come to his live broadcast room from time to time. He has even invited Grand Slam player to be a guest. The two parties talked like old friends for many years. Such connections are beyond the reach of Brother Da Ma.
If you ask why he has such ability, the reason is very simple. He was a member of Chinese National Table Tennis First Team twenty years ago and participated in international competitions.
It's just that he didn't achieve many results at that time. His only honor was that he had reached the top 16 on World Table Tennis Championships. If there is no explanation, it means that he had reached the qualifying round on World Table Tennis Championships and won the main round, that's all.
In the next seven years, he failed to achieve any results, so he chose to retire and refused the relevant job recommended to him by Huaping. He chose to start his own business and became a personal table tennis commentator.
If the story only progressed to this point, then he would be just a former national team player resting on his laurels, but then something magical happened.
After being an anchor for four years, he felt that he still wanted to play, so he returned to the game at the age of more than 30 years old. While competing for Table Tennis Super League, he continued to work part-time as an anchor. Not only did he do an impressive job as an anchor, but Table Tennis Super League's record has always been pretty good.
During this period, he actually had time to fall in love, give birth to a son, then a daughter, and start a family.
This qualifies you to be called a "time management guru".
But this is not enough.
After playing Table Tennis Super League for five years, he naturally signed up to participate in the National Table Tennis Championships, referred to as National Championship.
National Championship Compared with the World Championships, the fame and influence are naturally far inferior, but when it comes to the difficulty of the competition, it is not inferior to any world competition. The reason is also very simple. Huaping has a lot of masters, far better than those well-known figures in the world.
That time, because the Chinese National Table Tennis Team coaching staff was urgently preparing for the three major competitions, the top three among the five main players, Sun Tianlong, Xiao Fei, and Lin Li, chose to give up National Championship. Only Luo Jiu and Bai Feng participated in the war, and Commentator Hou showed great power in that National Championship, defeating all opponents along the way, even destroying the main players of the national team, and finally won the men's singles championship that year when no one expected it, which shocked countless people inside and outside China Table Tennis and even the world's table tennis circles.
At this time, the 39-year-old Hou Xijia has truly become famous all over the world in one battle. He is a late bloomer in an absolute sense.
What's even more amazing is that he is also a chipper who is recognized to be difficult to achieve results. He is the only chipper to win a championship in a major domestic event in the past ten years.
After this battle, even people in the world table tennis circles began to recognize Hou Xijia, and believed that he was fully qualified to compete with Zhu Shixian, the player from Kimchi Country, for the reputation of "World's Number One Chopper".
However, Commentator Hou didn't care. His wife and children were hot on the bed every day, and he didn't even want to go abroad to play. As for the Huaping coaching staff, they also felt that he was too old and was working part-time, so after several discussions, they did not choose to recall him to the national team.
But perhaps this championship gave Hou Xijia enough confidence. Although he still lives a part-time life playing league games and live broadcasting at the same time, Super League's winning rate has increased significantly, and he has almost become a strong contender for the top three in the annual winning rate list of Table Tennis Super League.
What is particularly worth mentioning is that his racket is different from any other chipper. He uses reverse rubber on the front and raw rubber on the back.
Noticed?
The reverse side is raw rubber.
Luo Jiu switched to raw rubber, thinking that it was unique enough, and even shouted, "If God had not given birth to me, Luo Xiaojiu, raw rubber would last forever", but in fact, Commentator Hou had been equipped with reverse raw rubber for many years before him.
Wang Chao played Table Tennis First Division last year and encountered Ma Angxing for the first time. He used raw rubber to forcefully pull the ball and chip it, which knocked Ma Angxing's mind. A ball of paste, showing the excellent feel of Microscopic Precision level, but this is actually not the first time, because Commentator Hou had already started to use the weird backhand raw rubber to slice the ball many years before him.
At this moment, Hou Xijia is ranked second, which means that the guests Xiangnan TV invited this time are definitely heavyweight enough.
Sure enough, the third place came out with a bang.
Former male table tennis player Great Demon King, Sun Tianlong is now the head coach of the Chinese table tennis women's team, Wang Wendong.
Wang Wendong appeared, and the cheers from the audience were deafening.
Although Cai Guodong is 80% focused on men's table tennis, if you really want to say who has the most outstanding performance in Huaping, it is definitely the women's team.
Men's table tennis has been in crisis from generation to generation, and women's table tennis has been plagued by demons from generation to generation. Under the leadership of Wang Wendong, in recent years, the women's table tennis team Great Demon King has almost reached the point of mass production. The semi-finals and finals meet at every turn, and a bunch of people fight for gold medals in a civil war, which almost drives the foreign table tennis associations to despair.
So you see, the same China Open, the coaches of the men's team stayed up late one after another for meetings, and even Cai Guodong couldn't sleep all night, but Wang Wendong actually found time to come and participate in the variety show, that's because he didn't worry at all, the women's team only needed to be led by the coaches under his command, and everything was guaranteed for the gold medal.
By the time Wang Wendong sat down, the audience's curiosity had been peaked.
After all, the convention of "Masked Talent Guessing Game" is to have four industry guests. The third person is Wang Wendong. How should the fourth person be included?
Is it possible that Cai Guodong wants to come in person?
Otherwise, who is qualified to be ranked behind Wang Wendong?
The answer was quickly revealed, it was Xiangnan Provincial Team head coach Li Changzheng.
Although this answer was not popular enough, the audience was surprised and able to accept it.
Li Changzheng's honor is naturally not as good as that of Wang Wendong, but he debuted more than ten years earlier than Wang Wendong, and he is a true senior. Moreover, this is Xiangnan Province after all. He is a local snake, and he deserves to be the last one to appear.
After the guests came out, the host Teacher He couldn't help but exclaimed, "With your lineup, if you reduce the average age by 10 years, it's enough to fight Olympic Games, right? I can't help but be curious now, who is the masked master today?"
Generally speaking, when a talent matches up with a guest, it is fun to have a well-matched match. Today's guest is so important, so the talent must not be an unknown pawn in the city team or the provincial team.
