 Wang Ai carefully read through the interview outline, and then nodded and handed it to Duan Xuan. Wang Ai was familiar with everyone, so the interview outline was relatively rough, leaving a lot of room for the host and guests.

Zhang Bin disappeared behind the scenes, while He Wei and Lin Long watched the excitement. Wang Ai was led backstage by the director to wait. From the small screen in the backstage, a piece of music played, the hall lights were lit, and the background of the stage was a large screen.

, Duan Xuan faced dozens of audiences on the stage. Liu Jianhong stood on the side of the stage and acted as the second host.

"Dear viewers in front of the TV and at the scene, today is our first program in 2008. As we all know, our Chinese football team made great achievements last year. The men's football team defended the Asian Cup and a new generation of players grew vigorously.

For example, Xiao Wang scored 11 goals in the Asian Cup, breaking the previous single-tournament record of 8 goals, and became a well-known shooter in China, Asia and even the world. He even won the Ballon d'Or a month ago."

Speaking of this, Duan Xuan paused deliberately and smiled: "We are very happy today. We have Xiao Wang himself as a guest to talk about football with everyone. Come on, Xiao Wang, come out!"

The camera focused on the side door, opened it with a gasp, and the music started playing. Wang Ai walked out in a red casual suit, waving as he walked. Unexpectedly, there was a squeak under his feet, and two puffs of white gas came out, which startled Wang Ai.

.

It was really a jump! The audience burst into laughter.

Liu Jianhong stepped forward and blamed: "Can't you cooperate?"

Wang Ai felt aggrieved: "I didn't know you arranged this. How about I go through it all over again?"

Before the director and others could finish their discussion, Wang Ai muttered to himself: "Forget it, I'm not a fairy, and my feet will get cold after doing this."

Liu Jianhong shook his hands helplessly: "Go, go."

Wang Ai walked up to Duan Xuan with a smile, and the two shook hands. During the whole process, the CCTV staff and individual family members in the audience who acted as the audience kept cheering and applauding, so that after Wang Ai and Duan Xuan finished shaking hands, they still

He had to turn around and bow to the audience before he stopped.

Wang Ai is the biggest football star who has ever been a guest on a sports channel. He may not have been that before, but now he has won the Golden Globe Award, so it is right to say he is the biggest. At the same time, Wang Ai is also the most unassuming big-name guest, and he never wears anything.

Therefore, interviewing him is the easiest and most enjoyable, and there is often no need to record it over and over again. He can bring up the atmosphere by himself.

In fact, many sports stars have no airs, such as Yao Ming, but he has a stable personality, so he cannot get close to the audience, and the atmosphere of the show cannot be very lively. There are also some sports stars who imitate entertainment stars, and their knowledge is very narrow, but they

Put on a sophisticated face to bluff people.

For a while, it was quite popular. But with the advent of the Internet era, the amount of information exploded, and various information walls were broken down, this style became increasingly unsustainable.

In today's studio, as soon as Wang Ai appeared on the stage, he broke the "hero model model" that CCTV used to promote people like him who have won great honors for the motherland. No hero or model was seen jumping onto the stage.

"Xiao Wang, before starting today's formal exchange, would you like to take out your trophy and show it to the people across the country?"

"Didn't you see it before?"

Duan Xuan forcibly suppressed the urge to roll his eyes: "Isn't that in France? There are so many people, so it's hard for us to take photos with cameras, right? Audiences across the country want to see this detail."

"real?"

"Hurry up." Duan Xuan couldn't help but push Wang Ai.

Wang Ai then walked off the stage with a smile, took out the trophy from his suitcase and placed it on the coffee table on the stage. When the studio lights came on, oh, it was pure gold!

After the two sat down, Duan Xuan asked the first question: "What material is this trophy made of? You know we are used to using the word gold to describe the true value of various awards. It is one of the highest awards in football.

The gold content should be very high. You know we have never had one before, and no one’s Golden Globe trophy can be studied over and over again, so we finally got one back today, and everyone must want to know about it.”

"It's gold-plated, just like a gold medal." Wang Ai said with a smile: "Next year's Olympic gold medal will be gold inlaid with jade, and the gold medal will not be pure gold. It will be silver inside and a layer of gold plating on the outside. It's all like this. This thing needs to be

According to our custom, it is not a bonus, but a certificate. This is different from Liu Xiang's Golden League. In that purely commercial event, the final reward is a bonus and certificate combined into one."

Having said this, Wang Ai simply leaned over and picked up the trophy, calling to the camera for a close-up: "Here is a brass ball, with a layer of plating on the outside. And this ball is also hollow, otherwise this boss would be all

The brass weighs hundreds of kilograms. This base is the foundation for the growth of natural crystals. The beautiful natural crystals on top are removed, leaving the bottom layer, and then gold balls are set on it. So traditionally, this base is considered a gem.

, but it’s also a very cheap kind of gemstone.”

"Then how much does it cost to manufacture? Assuming there is no honor bonus, just consider it itself?"

Wang Ai thought for a while: "I didn't ask this year, but last year I remember it seemed to be about 200,000 euros, including both the material cost and the jewelry store's processing cost."

"It's 2 million yuan!" Duan Xuan exclaimed.

Wang Ai shrugged: "The labor cost in Europe is high. To make this thing, two hemispheres are welded into a whole, and then electroplated and polished. It is actually quite troublesome. The actual material should only cost tens of thousands of euros."

"Well, you have shattered many people's beautiful imaginations. It would be great if it were a pure gold ball, right?" Duan Xuan asked, and he immediately agreed.

Wang Ai laughed for a while and then said: "If it is really made of pure gold, the value may not be higher than it. This honor bonus cannot be replaced by material. The previous trophies were very small, such as those from Yashin's time, but not

impact its global influence.”

"Speaking of influence, Xiao Wang, we used to call him European Footballer of the Year. Why does he have global influence? Is it because of last year's reforms?"

Wang Ai nodded and said: "Actually, since 1995, it has had a relatively full global influence. Before 1995, it was only awarded to Europeans. After 1995, it was awarded to those who played football in Europe, for example

Foreigners like me and Ronaldo can do it too. So you see, the 1995 Ballon d'Or award was given to George Weah from Liberia, but before 1995, Maradona had never won it. Last year, it went a step further and the objects of the award were expanded.

to the whole world. However, the center of world football is in Europe, so in the foreseeable future, European league players will still monopolize this award for a long time, and even the core stars of the five major leagues' giant teams will be competitive."
