At 3:30, the BBC TV crew finally arrived, and many reporters who got the news also rushed to the shooting range. However, looking at the chaotic situation on the scene, it was a bit strange to start on time at 4 o'clock.
Diana Rigg also rushed over at this time. Today, Diana Rigg was wearing a Chanel women's blazer that she bought when she went shopping with William last time. It was simple and capable, with big wavy blonde hair, and the buttons on her shirt were about to break.
Diana Rigg walked towards William with a smile on her face and hugged him. Finally, she kissed William on the cheek amid the cheers of the crowd.
The reporters laughed in disappointment at the mere kiss on the cheek, and urged Diana Rigg and William to kiss each other on the mouth. However, Diana Rigg knew her limits, as William was not officially her boyfriend yet. As a media worker, she knew she had to pay attention to the impact in public.
After hearing what Arthur Kane said yesterday, William no longer dares to have a girlfriend. Having his mother as a weakness is enough to give him a headache, and he really doesn't have the energy and strength to have another girlfriend to be used as a threat to him.
When the BBC live broadcast equipment was finally ready at around four o'clock, Diana Rigg walked to the middle of the venue with the microphone and started the live broadcast.
"Hello everyone, I'm Diana Rigg, a BBC reporter. We're at the Olympic Archery Center. With me is William Devonshire, who is going to fulfil a promise he made a few days ago and challenge the impossible today. He's going to shoot a bow and arrow at a 70-meter target with his eyes closed and hit the ten rings.
Okay, let's ask Mr. William Devonshire now, William, do you have confidence in today's challenge?
"Of course, I am still very confident in my archery skills. There is no point in saying more. We will know whether what I said is true after we try it."
Diana Rigg said to the camera, "Yes, it's superfluous to say anything now. All the facts speak for themselves. Thank you, Mr. Devonshire. Let's give our challenger some time to prepare. Come on, William."
William smiled at the camera and went to the archery range to prepare. He knew that it was useless to say anything now, and if he said too much, the audience would think he was bragging again.
After seeing William off, Diana Rigg said to the camera: "Dear audience, today we have invited Mr. Smith Brown, the head coach of the England archery team."
The camera was timely turned to Smith Brown who walked up to Diana Rigg.
Smith-Brown said: "Hello Diane, hello everyone, I am Smith-Brown, the head coach of the England archery team."
Diana Rigg took the microphone and said: "Hello Mr. Smith, I am very glad that you have accepted our invitation to come to the scene as a special guest. Do you think William will succeed in the challenge today?"
Smith Brown thought for a moment and said cautiously, "If it were anyone else, I would definitely say it's impossible, but who made him William Devonshire, the dream lover of all the girls in England? I can only say that everything is possible, although I think the possibility is not high.
But he's William Devonshire, so I dare not say anything bad about him. Otherwise, when I get home at night, my two lovely angels might not let me in." After saying this, Smith Brown gave the camera a helpless shrug.
Brown's words caused everyone at the scene and in front of the TV to burst into laughter. No one expected that this 50-year-old man who looked very serious was actually very humorous.
Diana Rigg smiled at the camera and said: "Okay, the two little angels of the Brown family, now we are discussing normal circumstances. Except for William, you can't prevent Mr. Smith from entering the house."
Diana Rigg takes the microphone to Smith Brown again.
Smith Brown smiled and said to the camera: "Normally, without the help of equipment, our eyes cannot see the bull's eye of the target at a distance of 70 meters. The bull's eye at this distance is as small as the tip of a thumbtack on our fingertips when we hold our hands up, or even smaller than the tip of the thumbtack.
So the purpose of the eyes in archery is not to see the bull's eye, but to aim. I don't know how William would aim with his eyes closed, but he's William Devonshire after all, so anything is possible. Let's wait and see.
Diana Rigg asked: "Mr. Brown, if William can really do what he said, do you think William has the possibility of qualifying for the xn Olympics?"
Smith-Brown's expression grew serious upon hearing this. He said, "Today's test is for 70 meters, the same distance used in Olympic archery. If he performs well, I think he'd like to compete in the Olympics. He can come to our archery team for a formal test. We welcome all talented Englishmen to participate. Archery is a sport where results are everything. If he can achieve good results, I will definitely recommend him for the Olympic team."
"Okay, thank you Smith Brown for the commentary. The staff on the scene are signaling that William is ready. We will now turn the camera to William," said Diana Rigg.
The camera focuses on William and then stretches to the target 70 meters away. There are 5 targets in the distance. William will shoot 3 arrows at each target today, for a total of 30 arrows in two rounds.
Diana Rigg looked at William drawing the bow and became nervous. She should be the one who most hoped that William would succeed.
Failure will have a negative impact on William's reputation, but as long as the results are not too bad, it will not have much impact on William, but it will have a great impact on Diana Rigg.
If William succeeds, she will become more famous, and if William fails, she will be stepped on by others, so Diana Rigg is praying to God in her heart, blessing William to be in excellent condition today and hit the bull's eye with one arrow.
And God seemed to have heard her prayers, for the first arrow William shot hit the very center of the first target, the perfect bull's eye.
"Ah, ah, ah," Diana Rigg shouted excitedly as she watched the arrow hit the bull's eye on the screen.
The audience and reporters at the scene also exclaimed in surprise. They didn't expect that William was not bragging.
Then William shot arrows continuously, and every arrow hit the bull's eye, without a single arrow missing the ten-ring area of the target.
Smith-Brown shot 15 arrows in a row at William, and every arrow hit the middle of the ten-ring area. This is really unbelievable. How is this possible? This result has already broken the Olympic record.
Smith Brown is an expert. He is the coach of the England archery team. As far as he knows, no one can shoot 15 arrows in a row with a 64-pound arrow and hit the ten ring every time. William looks very relaxed. Smith Brown wonders in his heart how strong William Devonshire's arms are. How did this guy train? Wouldn't he be more powerful in actual combat?
No, I have to get him into the archery team. He is a definite champion. Maybe the men's team archery can also win a medal. If I find two reliable teammates, maybe the men's team can also win a gold medal.
Come and play.
Smith-Brown was very happy thinking that under his leadership, the England archery team broke the monopoly of the South Korean archery team and won two Olympic gold medals for England.
By then, I will become famous, and money and fame will come rolling in.
Thinking of this, Smith Brown made up his mind to get William Devonshire into the Olympic team. Even if William didn't want to, he would force William to join the Olympic team through the media. He didn't want to live this kind of miserable life anymore.
