Chapter 20: Wang Ai and his friends (1) (revision)
Wang Ai had expected the result of this action. After all, the aftermath of the national team's qualification for the World Cup has not yet been resolved, the World Youth Championship championships have followed one after another, and the old news about his salary before moving to Chelsea is still hot, so If he does this, he will definitely attract a lot of attention.
His strict control over media interviews has also caused the outside world to be confused about his recent series of mysterious behaviors and a huge thirst for news. Therefore, after receiving a "help call" from Shi Wenjun, Wang Ai simply bought a car in Harbin. With the tickets, Ma Dong, Li Jun and a mixed team composed of the old college team and the northern paper company football team flew directly to Beijing.
On the one hand, I have to attend joint interviews with Xinhua News Agency, CCTV, "China Youth Daily", "Liaoshen Evening News", "Liaoyang Daily" and other media. On the other hand, these twenty days of continuous intensive competition, even if the competition is easy , also caused Wang Ai's physical energy to be exhausted to the extreme, and he was in urgent need of repair.
After arriving in Beijing, the whole team stayed at Wang Ai's house. Wang Ai went to Xinhua News Agency in person to arrange an interview time, and contacted Zhang Bin, Liu Jianhong and others, and finally notified China Youth Daily, Liaoshen Evening News, and Liaoyang Daily. 》Related reporters agreed to conduct a centralized interview together on July 27.
Wang Ai's energy cannot cope with one interview a day. He is too tired, and the league next season is about to start. Wang Ai will take the opportunity to rest and adjust at home in Beijing, and also handle a series of business endorsement matters.
In the yard of his home, Wang Ai sat with a bunch of friends, facing the cameras and reporters' recorders, and began to be interviewed, responding positively and explaining his twenty-day journey.
"When I was in Siping, the chairman of the local fans association gave me a new nickname, called 'The Patrol Envoy of the Three Eastern Provinces', haha." Wang Ai laughed and faced the camera and answered the reporters' first question: "How do you feel?"
"How do you feel? There are still quite a lot of football enthusiasts among the people in the three northeastern provinces. If they have time, opportunity, and convenience, they can engage in some football sports. Of course, except for the three northeastern provinces, Sichuan, and Chongqing, It's said to be pretty good, and from what Captain Ma has reported back, there are a lot of people participating. Of course, other than that, I don't know much about other parts of the country."
When Wang Ai said this, he turned around with a smile. It turned out that Xu Qinglian, who had completed her graduation thesis and received a master's degree in history from Renmin University, was coming out of the kitchen holding two fruit plates and placing them next to the tea cups.
This was the first time for the reporter of "China Youth Daily" to interview Wang Ai, so he was not as casual as Liu Jianhong. He sat in the yard with a bit of restraint and couldn't figure out the relationship between this beautiful and outrageous girl and Wang Ai.
But I didn't dare to ask. It was quite unexpected that he got the interview opportunity this time.
In the past, I came directly to ask for interviews many times, but was politely declined. Over the years, it has always been Xinhua News Agency, CCTV, Liaoshen and "Liaoyang Daily". The first two are useless, and the third one is a bit unpopular. As for "Liaoyang Daily" Liaoyang Daily, what is that? A local party newspaper, how does it compare with the one run by the Youth League Central Committee?
But they were on the list again and again, and the "China Youth Daily" was not allowed to get in. This time Wang Ai set off a wave of public opinion again, so the reporter who received the interview assignment had an idea and went to the Central Committee of the Youth League to report this.
As soon as the incident was mentioned, his old classmate was stunned for a long time, dumbfounded: "You told us earlier, he is still a member of the Communist Youth League, we can just talk about it."
Sure enough, it was just a matter of words. His classmate asked the leader for instructions in front of him, and then a call came to Shi Wenjun's mobile phone, and then to Wang Ai, who agreed in a few words.
Domestic media actually have various origins. For example, the famous "Sports Weekly" is run by the Hunan Provincial Sports Commission, but the level of control by the superior units is different. It is said that they are all controlled by the party, but some newspapers openly contradict
Party, so Wang Ai didn't have time to screen many media. The only ones he could count and trust were the four. He stayed away from the others. But since the leaders of the League Central Committee introduced them, of course there was nothing to say.
After answering this introduction call, Wang Ai realized that in the past few years, he had strictly controlled his own information and often resorted to advertising tactics to suppress the media's rumors about him. He had offended many people and units. Now that he thinks about it, he has always been safe and sound.
, their own advertising strategy is still second, the time when they were interviewed after coming back from the 2002 World Cup is the key.
"So, what is your purpose of running around just after you returned from the Netherlands?" a reporter from the Xinhua News Agency's Sports Department asked calmly.
"Drink tea, drink tea, let's talk slowly. I just came back yesterday. I was very tired. I heard that you were going to interview, so I took all my friends to Beijing to rest, look around and wait.
You guys come. I don’t have anything to do today, so I’m just resting at home. We still have a long time, so don’t leave at night. I’ve already ordered a big dinner.” Wang Ai greeted several reporters with a smile.
The Xinhua News Agency reporter was amused and picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Working in such a serious unit all year round, over time, his mind is filled with national affairs, and it is difficult to relax.
"I trust you all. Speaking of it, we have been in an old relationship for many years. There has been nothing wrong with me for so many years. It is rare for me to relax. So let's not be too formal or too tired today. Look at me now
Sitting position?" Wang Ai pointed to himself with a smile: "It's really tiring to spread out on this easy chair, so let's just chat and talk casually today. It's up to you what kind of reports you can summarize when you go back.
Habits and needs. Anyway, I can trust you, so everyone should be more relaxed."
Liu Jianhong pursed his lips and smiled, "Then let me throw some light on things and talk about a lighter topic first. Dr. Wang, do you support puppy love?"
Reporters from "Liaoshen Evening News" and "Liaoyang Daily" laughed out loud.
Xu Qinglian, who was originally standing behind Wang Ai, glared at Liu Jianhong, turned around and left.
Ma Dong, Lin Long, and Li Lin laughed loudly. They all knew that Wang Ai was a super puppy lover. He tricked his girlfriend into living together at home when he was 13 years old. Therefore, this topic is not taboo for Wang Ai.
, is also difficult to answer.
Wang Ai, who didn't hold Xu Qinglian back, patted his forehead and pointed at Lao Liu: "I said you are indeed from CCTV's Gossip Channel. You ask me everything. Does this have anything to do with football?"
"Don't you want to talk casually? I happen to be middle-aged, and my children at home are also facing the problem of puppy love, so I would like to ask you, this world-famous doctor, for advice. Is it wrong?"
The reporter from "China Youth Daily" looked around and seemed to have discovered some truth. He huddled in a corner and wrote with his head down.
