The program is not live, which is good news, because if there are any problems or dissatisfaction during the interview, it can be cut and re-shot, which makes everyone feel more at ease.

"Hello everyone, welcome to "Face to Face". I am the host of the show, Yan Zi. Today we have invited the Tara band, who sang the theme song at the opening ceremony of the Qatar Olympics a few days ago. They are Qin Jiali, Zeng Jingyi, Shao Minzhi, and Jiang Mengyan. Let's welcome them all."

With the applause of the audience and the music behind the scenes, the four of them walked onto the stage hand in hand and sat down on the sofa next to the host Yan Zi. Everyone seemed a little reserved.

"I can see that the four little sisters seem a little nervous. This shouldn't be the case. There are only a few hundred spectators here today, but a few days ago, there were tens of thousands of people at the Olympic Games. I watched the opening ceremony of the Olympics and listened to you singing. I thought you sang very well and didn't notice that you were nervous. Why are you still a little nervous today?" The host Yan Zi smiled, and she was actually trying to ease the atmosphere and get everyone to relax.

Qin Jiali took the microphone and said, "In fact, we were also nervous about singing at the opening ceremony of the Olympics. Generally speaking, we use our high concentration on the lyrics of the songs and the dance movements to relieve or forget about the stage and the attention of the audience, so everyone seems to be not nervous. But today we can't use singing to relieve, so this nervousness will be more obvious."

Qin Jiali's voice was sweet and lovely, and her steady voice actually made the sisters feel relieved and adjusted their mindsets.

"Speaking of the Olympics, have you watched any of the games in person?"

"Yes, we went to watch the shooting competition. It was very exciting. Our Chinese athletes were just 0.01 points away from winning the first gold medal in this Olympics. It's really a pity." Shao Minzhi said with regret on her face, and the others nodded heavily.

"I can see that you all maintain good figures, especially Xiao Mengyan. Do you exercise regularly?"

"Yes, Mengyan is the best among us. She even has the Level 6 certificate in rock climbing." Qin Jiali took the initiative to introduce the little sister.

"Level 6 Rock Climbing Certificate? Perhaps the audience here are not very clear about the value of this certificate. Could you give us a brief introduction, Xiao Mengyan?"

Qin Jiali took the initiative to hand the microphone to Xiao Mengyan.

"Well, yes. Our country's rock climbing skills are divided into nine levels from low to high: "Level 9" to "Level 1". "Level 9" represents the beginner level, and "Level 1" represents the highest level. The levels of amateur rock climbers are divided into four to seven levels. These levels are assessed by participating in competitions and achieving certain results."

"That is to say, the highest amateur level is level 7, and above that is the professional level. Xiao Mengyan is now at level , is that right? And you also obtained this level certificate by participating in many competitions, right?" The host Yan Zi was obviously praising Xiao Mengyan.

Xiao Mengyan nodded shyly when she heard the host's words.

"Could you please tell our audience what competitions you have participated in?" The host Yan Zi looked at the youngest Xiao Mengyan.

"In this year's National Amateur Rock Climbing Finals, I won third place in the women's speed race with a time of 9 seconds." Xiao Mengyan answered softly.

"That's amazing. I've also seen rock climbing competitions. The wall you climbed was very high."

"It's usually 15 meters, which is the standard height for international competitions. I'm not that good. The world record only takes a little over 6 seconds. I'm still far from that, hehe." Xiao Mengyan smiled shyly.

"Xiao Mengyan is really humble. Maybe our audience doesn't know that when women's speed climbing competition first started as an official competition, the women's world record was more than fifteen seconds. 15 seconds, that's a world record. Now our singer Xiao Mengyan can run under ten seconds in her amateur training, which is actually quite remarkable." The host Yan Zi was prepared.

"Why does Xiao Mengyan like rock climbing? What made you like this sport?"

"Because in 2023, Mr. Xia took us to Yuhang to watch the Asian Games. We watched the rock climbing competition on site and fell in love with it. Later, when I returned to Yancheng, I started learning rock climbing."

"I see. I was inspired by the competition I saw live, and then I started liking it."

"Yes."

Seeing that Tara seemed to have relaxed, the host Yan Zi understood that she could ask some questions that everyone might be interested in.

"I think the audience must be very curious about why you got the opportunity to sing the theme song of the Qatar Olympics. Who can tell us about it? Zeng Jingyi?" Yan Zi shifted her gaze to Zeng Jingyi.

Zeng Jingyi took the microphone and shrugged slightly: "Actually, we don't know why the Qatar Olympic Committee invited us to sing the theme song. At that time, President Xia received the people from the Qatar Olympic Committee in the office, and then they specifically invited us to sing the theme song. President Xia agreed, and that's it."

Zeng Jingyi put it simply.

"It is said that the member of the Qatar Olympic Committee who invited you to sing the Olympic theme song was not an ordinary person, right?" the host said with a smile.

"Yes, he is the prince of Qatar. We met him at the cocktail party after the opening ceremony of the Olympics. He was so handsome." Shao Minzhi almost became obsessed with him.

Shao Minzhi's words also made the audience burst into wows.

"The vice president of Qatar's Olympic Committee and deputy sports minister is Prince Isaac, the third son of the current king of Qatar. He visited our country in early November this year. Did he invite you to sing the theme song for this Olympics at that time?"

"Yes." The four people said in unison.

"So you don't know why the Prince of Qatar would invite you, right? Could it be that the Prince of Qatar is your fan?" Swallow joked.

"I heard from President Xia that he also asked Qatar why they invited us to sing and why they didn't invite those more famous European and American singers." Qin Jiali took over the topic.

"Then why?" It was obvious that the host was also curious.

“At that time, the prince of Qatar said that due to religious customs, it was not appropriate to let singers from their own country perform. But Qatar is an Asian country, so they would like to invite Asian musicians to sing the theme song. Then they chose us from several singers from China and Japan. In fact, they didn’t know us before and had never heard our songs.” Qin Jiali felt a little embarrassed when she said this.
