Chapter 264 Interview(1/2)

The next day, Chen Yihan and Katniss were taken away by Hammis and Effie respectively and underwent an eight-hour special training...

The content of the special training is etiquette and interview skills for four hours each.

Afterwards, Chen Yihan and Katniss put on the clothes that Sina customized for them. It can be seen that their team has put a lot of effort into it.

The design for Chen Yihan is a black suit with a flame pattern, which looks very energetic and handsome.

What was prepared for Katnis was a pearlescent red dress. The dress was inlaid with shiny gems, red, yellow, white, and gems were decorated with flame patterns.

Katniss' body can feel like he is surrounded by a blazing flame as long as he moves slightly.

Heimis and Effie also dressed up carefully for attending the occasion. Chen Yihan and Katniss entered the elevator led by the two of them.

After the elevator opened, everyone came to a lobby and lined up to take the stage.

During this interview, each "tribute" would sit on a curved bench behind the stage.

Chen Yihan and Katniss sat at the end.

Chen Yihan narrowed his eyes and watched other "tributes" perform: smart, funny, humble, fierce or charming.

It can be said that this is the same as rating, and it must attract the audience's attention to be considered successful.

Heimis came behind Chen Yihan and Katniss and instructed: "Remember, you are still a happy couple, just act like this."

Although it was already night, the city ring square was as bright as day.

There is a row of raised chairs on the stage for VIPs, and the front row is the designer's seat.

When the audience comments on their work, the camera lens will be aimed at them.

The oversized terrace on the building on the right is reserved for contest organizers, and other balconies are full of cameras.

The city square and surrounding roads were filled with spectators, and everyone could only stand. Whether it was home or public hall, the TV was turned on. The entire Panham country was already crowded with people.

At this time, Caesar Flickman, the host of this show for more than 40 years, stepped onto the stage in high spirits.

His image has hardly changed in more than 40 years, which is really a bit scary, the same face and the same hairstyle.

His face was covered with snow-white makeup powder, and his hair was dyed in different colors in previous competitions, even his dress was worn.

The dark blue dress is dotted with thousands of glowing small light bulbs, flashing like stars in the night sky.

In Capita, people use plastic surgery to make themselves look younger and slimmer.

But in other areas, the vicissitudes of face is an achievement, because many people have left before him.

If you see an old man, you can congratulate them and ask them for the secrets of longevity. Even fat people are envied by others because they don’t have to run around for one meal like others.

But it's different here.

Bad wrinkles and big belly are not a sign of success.

This year, Caesar's hair was sprinkled with blue makeup powder, and his eyelashes and lips were also blue, which looked strange but not scary.

Last year, he painted it in a dark red color and seemed to be bleeding.

Caesar first told some jokes to set off the atmosphere, and then got to the point.

The female contestant in District 1 was wearing a golden transparent long dress, which made her last name look seductive. She walked to the center of the stage to be interviewed by Caesar.

It can be seen that her instructor found the place where she appeared on the camera effortlessly. Her flowing blonde hair, emerald eyes, and a tall and well-proportioned figure exuded a sense of surname from head to toe.

Each contestant had only three minutes of interview, and then the buzzer beeped and the next contestant came on the field.

To be fair, Caesar has indeed tried his best to make every contestant show his strengths. He is amiable, trying to eliminate the players' tension, and speaks slightly jokingly. Even if the answer is not ideal, he can still impress the interviewees through his methods.

In the way Effie and Heimis taught them, Chen Yihan and Katnis sat there like a gentleman and a lady.

The players in the second, third and fourth zones all ended the interview, and everyone seemed to have found a suitable performance angle.

The male contestant in District 2 is like a savage murder machine. The girl from District 5 has a fox face and looks cunning and hard to fight.

Next is District 8, District 9, District 10…

Chen Yihan carefully watched each of them’s interviews, quickly recalling them in his mind, thinking about matching them with the characters in the movie.

Until the 11th district, Xiao Lulu appeared.

Little Lulu wore a spider-web-shaped long skirt and two wings on her body, and came to Caesar like an ecstasy.

The audience was silent when they saw such an incredible slim contestant.

Caesar smiled and praised her for her outstanding achievements of seven points although she was young.

When asked what her biggest advantage in the arena was, she replied without hesitation: "It's hard for me to catch." Her voice trembled slightly, "If they can't find me, they can't kill me, so don't try to eliminate me."

"I won't eliminate you, not even ten thousand years." Caesar encouraged her.

Chen Yihan's eyes narrowed even more.

In the movie, it is not particularly shown how powerful Xiao Lulu's concealment is.

But it is true. Due to the time of the movie, many issues have not been explained clearly. Even the eye-catching battle game seems a bit stubborn.

So this is the first time. Chen Yihan cannot clearly familiarize himself with each character based on the movie, which is not a good sign.

After Xiao Lulu went down, it was the boy in District 11 that made his debut. His name was Sarrish, who had dark skin like Lulu, but that was all their similarities.

Sarish is tall, about 1.8 meters tall, as strong as a calf, but I found that he rejected the professional players' request to join him.

On the contrary, he was alone, not talking to anyone, and was not interested in training. Even so, he took tens of them, and it was not difficult to find that he impressed the organizers of the competition. He ignored Caesar's jokes and only answered yes or no, or it was silent.

Chen Yihan has a good impression of Sarrish, because he indirectly saved Katnis in the plot of the movie and let her go.

If ranked according to force, it should be ranked second.

Can he fight for it in the early stages?

While Chen Yihan was still thinking, someone called out the name of Katnisy Vdean.

Chen Yihan saw Katnis standing up like a dream, walked to the center of the stage, and shook hands with Caesar.

Chen Yihan did not think about other things, but focused on looking at the big screen and stared at Katniss' interview.

"Then, Katniss and Capitol must be very different from District 12. What is the most impressive thing when you get here?" Caesar asked.

...

Katniss, with a dull expression, just looked around desperately, and finally stared at Sina.

Caesar has been hosting for many years and has his own style of dealing with this.

Seeing that Katnis was nervous, he then asked a question that was easy to answer to by the public: "What is the most impressive thing you have when you get here?"

"Stewed lamb." Katniss finally spoke.

Caesar laughed, and some viewers laughed, including Chen Yihan.

"What kind of stew with dried plums?" Caesar asked.

Katnis nodded foolishly.

"Oh, I'll eat it in a bucket." Caesar turned to face the audience, covering his stomach and making a terrifying expression. "Can you see it from here?" The audience shouted, saying that he couldn't see it, and then there was a burst of applause.

Chen Yihan didn't see anything humorous about this, but the audience seemed to be very accustomed to Caesar's style.

"Now, Katniss," Caesar continued, "My heartbeat stopped when you appeared at the opening ceremony. What do you think of the costume?"

"You mean after I was worried that I would be burned alive?" Katniss asked.

The audience burst into laughter, this time it was the audience's heartfelt laughter.

"Yes, let's start from there," said Caesar.

"I think Sina is amazing. That dress is the best I've ever seen. When I put on that dress, I couldn't believe my eyes, just like the one I'm wearing now." Katniss pulled up the long skirt and spread it out, "Look, look, the clothes I'm wearing today also have flames."

The audience made a "um" or "ah" sound.

Chen Yihan saw that Sina signaled to Katniss and slightly circled with her hands. The meaning was very obvious, and she asked Katniss to turn around.

Chen Yihan didn't understand, and Katnis seemed to have a special trust in Sina. After seeing Sina's gesture, she immediately turned around.

"Oh, go around again!" said Caesar.

Katnis raised his arm and turned it around again and again. The skirt floated up with her rotation, and she was surrounded by flames.

The audience cheered enthusiastically.

After a few turns, Katnis stopped and grabbed Caesar's arm.

"Don't stop!" Caesar said excitedly.

"I can't do it anymore, I'm dizzy!" Katniss also giggled, and let out a hearty laugh that she had never had before.

Caesar wrapped his arms around her like protecting Katnis: "Don't worry, I've caught you, your instructor has missed, I won't let you follow in the footsteps."

The camera lens was immediately pointed at Hemis, and everyone was staring at him.

Haymith is already famous for falling head-on in the audience at the Harvest Festival. He waved gently to the camera reporters, signaling them not to shoot him again, and then pointed at Katniss.

"It's okay." Caesar said to the audience, "She is safe with me. So, how about the training course? 8 points is also a high score. Let's reveal the secrets of the training point?"

Katnis glanced at the contest organizer on the terrace, bit his lip, and said, "Well... all I can say is, this is only the first time."
To be continued...
