Chapter 325: Live TV
Time flies. In the blink of an eye, May 2nd was finally ushered in Yang Wen's anxiety and irritability, which was the day when Yang Tian made a bet with those pigeon fans. For this reason, the Pigeon Association's May 1st special postponement. Yesterday, May 1st was put on the cage. The TV station followed the entire filming, and there was also a pilot group of more than 50 people to conduct full supervision. Today's important moment is coming. Whether Yang Tian nodded and apologized or the pigeon fans nodded and admitted defeat will be announced soon after.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the pigeon racing program on Tong/Nan TV. I am the host Xiaoyu, and I am the host Xiaojia." At 8 o'clock in the morning, a man and a woman appeared in front of everyone on time on TV.
This time, the TV station not only provided two live broadcast cars for the Pigeon Association, but also temporarily opened this program called Pigeon Racing. The leaders of the TV station always felt that this was a creative program, attracting the audience's attention through competitions and having great room for development. Through surveys, more and more people are raising pigeons. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 80 million people in China alone. With such a large demand, no TV station dares to open a column program with Pigeon Racing. This has to be said to be a regret and an opportunity.
"Xiaojia, do you know what role does this pigeon have in addition to representing the meaning of peace and becoming a delicacy on our dining table?" Xiaoyu asked her colleague next to her with a smile.
"Haha, you can't defeat me. In addition to the above two situations, pigeons are also the best messenger. In the Yun/South border of our country, there is a unit like this. We call it the military pigeon army. In addition to sending letters, pigeons are also the best athletes in the competition, so we also call it racing pigeons or carrier pigeons, or racing pigeons. This is also the focus of the beginning of our program." Xiaojia said proudly.
"Yes, the word racing pigeon first appeared in the early 18th century. Wu Lian, a breeder in Antwerp in Belgium, combined the Yanbo pigeon with Persian carrier pigeons, flying pigeons and Smit pigeons to cultivate it into the world's first excellent breed, and is known as the originator of racing pigeons. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty in ancient my country, people had used pigeons to compete for fun and organized corresponding "pigeons to release pigeons". In the book "Guangdong New Words", it was written: In May and June, people in Guangmen will have pigeons to release pigeons,... choose the first one to wrap their pigeons around the pigeon's neck with red flowers. It is the racing pigeon." Xiaoyu said without being outdone.
"But does this have anything to do with our show?" Xiaojia pretended not to understand and asked Xiaojia in a daze.
"How can it be okay? Let me tell you today the story of this pigeon racing. For this episode, we specially invited two famous pigeon teachers. One is Teacher Li Shengqiang from Sichuan and the other is Teacher Wu Jianbao from Shanghai. Welcome the two teachers!" Xiaoyu said happily.
"Wow! It's really Teacher Li Shengqiang and Teacher Wu Jianbao! Hello, two teachers. I have heard about your pigeon racing for a long time. I have never met you for a while. I finally saw you alive today." Xiaojia hurried up to shake hands with the two old men in their sixties.
"Hello, host. Good morning, everyone, the audience of the TV machine!" said the two old gentlemen.
"Hello, two teachers! Welcome again! Please sit down!" Xiaoyu hurriedly said again. Seeing the two old men sitting down, she continued: "Okay, let's get back to the point. Today, I would like to ask the two elders to help us popularize pigeon racing knowledge. Is there any quick way to raise pigeon racing? Second, we happened to have a competition, and I would like to ask the two elders to help us analyze the pigeons with hope of winning. Teacher Li Shengqiang and Wu Jianbao, I have a question now. That is, in the eyes of your two elders, is it advisable to race pigeon racing? Is there any development prospect?"
The two elders were humbled each other, and then Mr. Wu Jianbao said: "I personally think that pigeon racing is a very desirable sport, and it is also a very noble sport. In developed countries in Europe and the United States, pigeon racing is an extremely mature and popular event. They mostly use 500 air distances as the main points. Then they use the speed of the wind to determine the excellent performance of pigeon racing. It is said that it is desirable because the sport of pigeon racing has never stopped since ancient times, and even in the most difficult times, there are such events. It is a sport passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors, which is extraordinary in the sense of the sense of being extraordinary. Secondly, it is said that it is noble because the pigeon racing competition is not about financial resources or power. It is wisdom, patience and hard work. The breed of pigeon racing has been a crystallization after countless generations of breeding, countless pairings and experiments, and training. It is said that it is noble and noble here!"
"As for the development prospects of pigeon racing, I personally think it's pretty good in recent years. When a leader of my country visited Europe in 2008, he visited a pigeon loft in Europe. And recently we have found that there are many public lofts established, which can be seen from these aspects that pigeon racing competitions are worth paying attention to."
The old man made a good summary. Everyone may have a new understanding of pigeon racing competition. The host Xiaoyu felt a little unsatisfied after hearing this, so he continued to ask: "Teacher Li, do you have any supplements?"
"Haha, I went to a place where there was no supplement. Mr. Wu said it very well. I just summed up just one sentence. Pigeon racing is a starting point, and breeding pigeon racing is a good future for entrepreneurship." Mr. Li said hehe.
Seeing that the two were not talking, the supporter Xiaojia immediately concluded: "Just as the two elders said, pigeon racing is a very desirable sport and a noble sport. It combines the wisdom, patience and hard work of pigeon breeders. The pigeon racing competition is not only comparing pigeon racing, but also comparing pigeon racing. It just so happens that there is a May Day special competition for pigeon racing in our county today. Please see a clip."
As soon as the host Xiaojia's words came to the ground, he heard a burst of passionate music. A group of people on the screen were constantly busy writing pigeon lists, handing pigeons, sticking their foot rings, stamping them and putting them in a flying cage. The pigeon collection was in an orderly manner, and from time to time, you could hear the reporter's inquiry and the conversation between the pigeon collectors. Then the pigeon collection lists were encapsulated, and the cage was trained and released, and then the convoy began to head to the place where the carriage began to move towards the place.
A set of short videos only took about two or three minutes. Xiaojia picked up the list in his hand and then appeared on the screen and said: "The above is the scene of collecting pigeons before the race and the scene of passing by the place in the middle of the race. Now the car has been parked at the place where the flying car is released. Let's connect to the reporter in front to see what the racing pigeons are in now."
The pictures were separated, Xiaojia took a few lists and said, "Hello Zhiming, I am Xiaojia, the host of the live broadcast hall. I want to ask where you are now? What is the state of the racing pigeon?"
"Hello Xiaojia! I am now located in the Qinling Mountains of Zhouzhi County, Shaanxi/Xi/Province/Asia/City, with an altitude of 712 meters. The geographical coordinates are 107°39′ east longitude and 34°14′ north latitude. It is 8:10:50 in the morning. The thermometer I hold in my hand shows 17.5 degrees, and the weather shows cloudy. At this time, Si Fang has parked on the open ground behind me. We can see with the camera that the terrain is quite literally here.
Yes, there is a cliff ten meters ahead, without large and dense plants, which is very suitable for flying. The arrival time of the Sihang car was 7:50 in the morning. Just now, the Sihang staff had injected a large amount of activated carbon water for the racing pigeons to drink. Now it is the rest time for the racing pigeons. A total of 3,675 racing pigeons are generally good, and no deaths have occurred. Host!" Zhiming was wearing a down jacket and stood at the Sihang location to send reports to the studio.
"Okay! Thanks to Zhiming for bringing us forward reports. We turned our attention to the studio. Mr. Li, Mr. Wu, I would like to ask why this pigeon racing competition was chosen in Zhou/zhi/county of the Qinling Mountains? What is its purpose?" Xiaojia then asked the two pigeon racing experts.
"This is a good answer! Choose the Qinling Mountains to increase the difficulty of racing pigeons. We know that the Qinling Mountains are relatively high at an altitude, with the highest terrain exceeding 2,000 or even above. Zhouzhi County is just in the middle of the Qinling Mountains. It is like a bowl, with high mountains on all sides being flat ground. If you want to go home, you must pass through the Qinling Mountains. Therefore, because the altitude is high and the air is thin, and because the cloudy clouds are thicker, it increases the pressure on racing pigeons to a certain extent. To see if a racing pigeon is excellent, you can judge it by the Qinling Mountains. This is what we Sichuan pigeon fans call the mountain climbing, and it is also a competitive place recognized by pigeon fans." Mr. Li explained.
"Oh, it's true that Mr. Li said. So I want to ask Mr. Wu, do you think this racing pigeon needs to cross the Qinling Mountains? What impact will this have on the racing pigeon?" Xiaojia continued.
"If it were us going to the sea, I would definitely say that it was not necessary, because the distance was too long, and it would only happen when Sifang long-distance racing pigeons were used. However, because our country's geographical location and the racing pigeons were different in different ways, it was still necessary for Chongqing/Qing. Because Chongqing/Qing itself is mountainous and famous for its foggy weather, crossing the Qinling Mountains can better determine the quality of a racing pigeon. Of course, Sifang Qinling Mountains has a relatively significant impact. Because many racing pigeons will always stop at Qinling due to their high altitude and poor climatic conditions.
