Advertising is very interesting and important, but if they have a choice, people still prefer soft advertising to hard advertising, just like right now.
"Oh, I know, you are expecting me to take a photo with it, but I won't let you succeed."
Gawain said with a serious face. The more sincere the expression, the more outstanding the comedy effect.
Then what?
If the words ended here, then Gawain would have amused the reporters and defused the atmosphere, but offended the sponsors——
Evian will probably protest righteously to Tobias, and other sponsors will probably not be much better off either.
Of course Gawain wouldn't stop there.
As he spoke, Gawain formally sat down, then silently took a bottle of mineral water, without saying anything in particular, he unscrewed the cap and started drinking.
Originally, drinking water was just drinking water. It was a normal behavior and nothing special. But at this time, Gawain seemed to be thirsty, very thirsty.
Gurgling.
A bottle of 500 ml mineral water was poured down the throat in one go, and not very fast. He kept pouring water in front of everyone, so that the rustling noises of the reporters subsided, and then the whole audience slowly stopped watching.
Slowly, they all gathered towards Gawain.
Full audience, live broadcast, Gawain drinks water.
Click.
Finally, someone couldn't help but press the shutter, recording this moment in a completely silent atmosphere.
What is certain is that the advertising effect of this scene is absolutely outstanding. The full score is 100 points, which can be scored 101 points. There is no fear of Gao Wen being proud.
Gudu.
Some people even couldn't help but become thirsty and swallowed their saliva before they realized it, and then they realized the cleverness of Gawain's move.
After waiting for the entire bottle of water to be finished, Gao Wen put the mineral water bottle aside without saying anything, as if he had just completed a normal and simple action, and showed a bright smile to the reporters.
"Thank you for your patience, I'm ready."
If Gawain had said any advertising slogan at this time, it would have been too blunt and too greasy, and it would have been too much. But Gawain wisely chose to stop there, and the tacit understanding remained in each other's hearts, making the entire paragraph fresh.
Come alive.
As you can imagine, the sponsor's face should show a satisfied expression at this time: add chicken legs.
The pre-match press conference has not yet started, but there is a relaxed atmosphere in the press room No. 1. Waiting for the press officer to announce that the interview session has officially begun, all the reporters raised their hands almost at the same time. The uniform scene is spectacular.
, so that Gawain couldn't help but make a joke.
"You should know that everyone wants to ask the same questions, right?"
They looked at each other in shock, but couldn't help laughing.
"Hello, I am Yu Jia from CCTV. I would like to ask..."
Yu Jia did not expect that he would be the first to be named. It seems that the press officer of the Paris Masters also noticed the very obvious proportion of Asian faces present. Even though it is English question time, he still hopes that everyone can participate.
Since Gao Wen became the first Chinese mainland player to win in the main draw of a Grand Slam at the US Open, Yu Jia has witnessed Gao Wen’s growth:
Not only the Grand Slam championship, but also the struggles of the Asian season, the recovery of the European indoor season, and now, just imagining it makes my blood boil.
Even though it's not the first time, I'm still filled with excitement.
"...What do you think about the year-end finals seats?"
"According to the latest championship standings, you are still competing for a seat in the year-end finals, but the conditions are more stringent."
Yu Jia still couldn’t believe it——
So far, Li Na is still the only Asian player to appear on the singles stage in the men's and women's professional tennis year-end finals.
Who would have thought that Gao Wen's emergence would break one barrier after another in just a few months, and then he would reach his current position.
Last week, there were many unexpected upsets in the game between Valencia and Basel, but there were still players who achieved breakthroughs.
At the Basel station, the top four players were Federer, Karlovic, Goffin and Kei Nishikori. In the end, Federer won the championship.
At the end of the week of points settlement, the top eight positions in the championship standings have changed again. Although Gao Wen regretted missing out on the Valencia championship, there is still a glimmer of hope in theory.
As for the first question, as soon as Yu Jia finished speaking, the eyes of all the reporters in the room were all focused on Gao Wen——
Obviously, this is the most pressing and urgent issue that everyone is concerned about.
Why was today's pre-match press conference so lively?
Not only Gawain's press conference, but also Ferrer, Kei Nishikori, Raonic, Dimitrov, Cilic and other direct contenders for year-end finals seats all received such treatment.
After all, such a scene has not been seen for many years.
Although it is customary that the competition for the year-end finals does not end until the end of the Paris Masters, in recent years, the competition for the seventh and eighth seats has often been more intense, and the number of players participating in the competition is relatively limited; however, this year,
Seven players competed for three seats, which was really exciting.
Of course, because of the brand sponsor, Gao Wen's pre-match press conference was even more lively, and the number of people turned out to be staggering.
Gawain could clearly feel the surging gaze in the audience, burning, restless, and surging.
He shrugged slightly and spread his hands.
"Look, everyone is concerned about similar questions. Are you sure you don't have any other questions you want to ask?"
As he spoke, Gawain unscrewed another bottle of mineral water very naturally, as if he was hinting at something with his movements.
Phew.
The reporters at the scene couldn't help but smile. They could detect the ridicule and ridicule in Gao Wen's words, "See, I just said it."
But at this time, the reporters refused to respond to Gawain. They stared at Gawain with burning eyes, expressing oppression with their eyes, and waited for Gawain's direct answer.
Seeing that his joke didn't get a response, Gawain didn't mind. He pursed his lips, looked at Yu Jia again, and asked with a smile on his face.
"Am I still in the competition? I thought that during the 200-meter sprint, they had already passed the curve and entered the straight line, and I was still delayed in the curve."
The vivid metaphor finally received some chuckles in response.
Yu Jia also relaxed a little, but he still answered very professionally.
"Yes, you are still in the competitive ranks, but the prerequisites are slightly more."
"First, you have to win the championship."
"Secondly, Kei Nishikori cannot enter the top 16."
"Once again, Raonic cannot enter the quarterfinals."
"In the end, Dimitrov and Cilic could not win the championship."
Yu Jia, with all his treasures, it can be seen that the Chinese media should be paying attention all the time. Any slight disturbance may change the situation. Those numbers must have been rehearsed countless times in their minds.
"When all conditions are met, you will be shortlisted for the year-end finals as eighth place and appear on the stage in London."
