Chen Xingyi stood on the rostrum of the football field, facing his classmates and teachers who were looking up at him. He held the flagpole with one hand and said loudly: "...Our Shuguang High School football team will definitely not win.
Live up to the trust of all the teachers and students in the school and bring glory to the school! Win glory to Tangdu! Win glory to Nanhe!"
There was a camera under the stage, taking pictures from the perspective of the students. Over the edge of the rostrum, Chen Xingyi's handsome face was clearly visible.
When he said these words, the expression on his face was very serious, and there was no usual indifference or carelessness.
This made Sun Yonggang, who had been observing from the side, laugh.
Just twenty minutes ago, he and a photographer faced Chen Xingyi alone and asked him if he knew what he was going to say when he came on the field and if he had made any preparations.
Chen Xingyi didn't care at all that he was facing the camera, and his every word and deed would be recorded. He curled his lips and said, "Isn't it just like that? I can memorize it, why do I need to prepare?"
At that time, he looked nonchalant and carefree.
Later, the photographer secretly asked Sun Yonggang if it would be a good idea to record these words. Sun Yonggang waved his hand and told the other party that there was no problem at all. Since Chen Xingyi himself didn’t think it was a big deal to say this in front of the camera, then what about them?
Why does the recorder have the authority to make decisions for the parties themselves?
Now I look at Chen Xingyi as if he was a completely different person, standing on the podium and making an impassioned speech, and finally waving the flag vigorously, showing everyone the image of a qualified captain.
Sun Yonggang felt that Chen Xingyi was really a wonderful person.
When most high school students face the camera, they are either too nervous to know what to do and can't open their mouths; or they just follow the instructions for fear of saying something wrong, and they are as rigid as robots that have been programmed in advance.
But Chen Xingyi didn't care about these at all and showed his true self to his heart's content.
Yes, it is the real him who complains in front of the camera in private, and it is also the real him who speaks in official terms in front of so many people in public.
Human beings are inherently complex creatures and cannot be characterized by just applying a label.
In the Internet society, it may be popular to create a personality using labels or something like that.
But in reality, no one is established by one person.
Regarding Chen Xingyi, there is actually some controversy because his fans are so fanatical. They try their best to create various personality labels for their idols on the Internet, as if they do not mold their idols into perfect people.
These fans have failed.
Sun Yonggang even felt that Chen Xingyi sometimes deliberately showed a shocking side in front of the camera in order to silence those fans.
After all, he doesn't have a management team, and he can't go online every day to guide and manage his fans. As a star in the eyes of others, confronting his fans in everything may be the only way he, an "idol" who has been framed, can resist.
Already.
When the documentary is aired, there will naturally be people who use the documentary to refute those fans and show them what the "real Chen Xingyi" is.
However, with Sun Yonggang's understanding of the culture of Internet fan circles, there is a risk that comments like "Chen Xingyi is just a football player, what does he know about our stars?" will appear later...

After Chen Xingyi completed his oath of war, the Shuguang High School Cheer Dance Club performed live cheer drills to cheer for the team. The young and beautiful girls and their healthy dances ignited the atmosphere.
Then the principal came to the stage to speak.
Finally it's time to send off.
The teachers and students of the school lined up from the stadium to the bus at the school gate. All the players of the football team passed through the crowd and received the cheers and attention of the teachers and students of the school.
Then at the bus door, I shook hands with the school leaders and said goodbye before boarding the bus and setting off.
"It's so grand..." Sun Yonggang, who was riding in the same car as Shuguang High School players, looked back at the people pouring out from behind the car, waving goodbye to the leaders of Shuguang High School and the crowd of students behind them.
"It's grand this time, maybe because you are here, maybe because this is a good opportunity for us to win three consecutive championships." Chen Xingyi, who was sitting next to him, curled his lips and said, not seeming to be cold to the school's warm greetings.
Although Sun Yonggang was already very aware of Chen Xingyi's temperament, he still couldn't help but glance in the direction of the camera lens.
Then he asked: "Xingyi, aren't you afraid that your fans will be sad if your image is broadcast?"
"What's wrong with this image? Aren't they shouting 'My stars are not artificial and live real lives' all day long?" Chen Xingyi spread his hands and imitated the tone of the fans and said, "Then I will give myself the real and unpretentious self."
Let them look at it. Is it possible that they all like Mr. Ye? I won’t live like what they see or what they want me to be.”
Sun Yonggang laughed. Chen Xingyi in front of him was simply a treasure boy...
"Hey, let me tell you, the camera is on. Are you afraid of offending fans by saying this?"
"If you offend me, offend me. It's them who came to fan me, not me who went up to the pole to beg them to fan me." Chen Xingyi snorted. "Besides, Brother Sun, I am a football player, and it is my two things that determine my achievements."
legs, not the number of my Weibo followers, right?”
Sun Yonggang couldn't help but give Chen Xingyi a thumbs up: "Transparent! If you kick the ball well, you have everything. If you kick the ball poorly, it's useless."
"Brother Sun, the camera is still on." Chen Xingyi pointed to the photographer opposite him.
"It's okay, I will cut this sentence off when the time comes." Sun Yonggang said with a smile.
He only got to know Chen Xingyi through a few interviews before, but apart from the professional contacts such as interviews, he didn't have any more contact. This time, the documentary crew came to Shuguang High School to follow the filming, allowing him to
I had many opportunities to get along with Chen Xingyi.
It also allowed him to get to know the strongest person in high school football today.
How many high school students can remain so calm and sober in his position?
Otherwise, why could he become the strongest high school student instead of someone else?
Luo Kai performed so well in the national competition and seemed to steal Chen Xingyi's limelight. Fans of the two groups got into a heated argument.
The results of it?
As Luo Kai has been unable to make a breakthrough in the professional echelon, his popularity has dropped a lot.
Now looking back at Chen Xingyi's original decision to insist on playing in high school national competitions for three years before considering joining a professional team, it seems much calmer and more rational.
calm.
This is a word that many experts will use when describing Chen Xingyi's performance on the field.
As a striker, he is so calm in front of goal.
When many people face opportunities, they will inevitably think too much and become overwhelmed, or they will be excited and exert too much force.
But when Chen Xingyi faced the opportunity, he was so calm that it made people think that this kid was not a high school student. He seemed to have only one thought in his mind, and that was to score goals.
Sun Yonggang still remembers what Chen Xingyi, the editor-in-chief of Goal.com at the time, said about Chen Xingyi after he led the team to two consecutive national championships and won the top scorer in the national competition twice in a row.
: "Chen Xingyi is a step above all other high school players, especially in his football awareness."
Who is Tang Hao?
He has been covering Chinese professional football for 30 years and has a very deep understanding of Chinese football. Now he is the editor-in-chief of "Goal". He is mainly responsible for reporting on professional football. He usually pays attention to
Professional players and the big stars of Chinese professional football are also people who chat and laugh happily.
For him to give Chen Xingyi such an evaluation can be said to be very high.
After all, physical fitness and technical ability in football can be practiced, but football awareness determines the upper limit of a player. Players with good awareness have a higher upper limit, and people with poor awareness may stay like that in their lives. With hard work, they may be able to
Become a first-line player, but it is very difficult to become a top player...

When the Shuguang High School football team, thousands of miles away, accompanied by a camera crew, rushed to Lingnan City, Nanling Province, where the national competition was held, at Dongchuan Middle School, the team also held a swearing-in meeting before going off to the competition.
Of course, neither Principal Zhai nor captain Yan Yan shouted any unrealistic and heroic words like "winning the championship".
Yan Yan just assured the teachers and students of the school that the team would go all out to achieve better results than the previous national competition.
But if you think about it carefully, Dongchuan Middle School has already achieved the top eight results in the last national competition. It is better than the last competition. Doesn't it mean that it starts from the lowest semi-finals? It has already reached the semi-finals. If you take one more step,
Didn’t he just reach the finals?
But in the atmosphere at the time, no one thought too much about it.
After the swearing-in ceremony, the players from Dongchuan Middle School boarded the bus and flew to Jincheng to fly to Lingnan City.
The national competition belonging to this group of football teenagers is about to begin.
