"Two beasts put in a cage must compete, not to mention the friends around them are also against each other. As long as the two of them fight, I can't run away, because I will definitely be compared.
,Everyone, I mean including the media, sponsors, fans, clubs, teammates, everyone, will ask you to join the war. There is no way for you to escape, no way to avoid it. If you really back down, you will lose more than the victory or defeat.
Lots and lots of stuff.”
"What? Like?"
"For example... Xingge, the qualifications of a star." Wang Ai prompted.
Shui Junyi suddenly asked: "Why?"
"Why are you a star? What do people admire about you? Your superb skills, your strong body and your unyielding will. Even in an era where we put friendship first and competition second, an athlete still has sports
Moral, what? Higher, faster, stronger, you have to do your best to respect your opponent and have friendship, otherwise it means you look down on others or are looked down upon by others."
"This is the first time I've realized this." Shui Junyi nodded solemnly.
"Our commercial sports developed relatively late. In fact, literary and artistic stars also have problems in this regard. It's just that they are not in the competitive industry and generally do not require unyielding will, but they often play different roles, so they are required to have higher moral character. These are all
Xingge. Once you break the rules in this area, you will no longer be regarded as an idol by the public, and you will no longer be a star."
"Can you analyze it in more detail? I think many fans will be very curious about your discussion of sports stars. This may be helpful to the development of commercial sports in our country and the self-image of many athletes." Shui Junyi said with respect.
asked.
"Uh...that's what I said, just to ignite the good news? In the future, everyone will have to improve and explore based on their own situation and our specific national conditions. I'm just the lead?"
"Okay, I will definitely not cut this sentence out."
Wang Ai smiled and thought for a moment: "Both material civilization and spiritual civilization are indispensable. Civilized countries in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, have such a common pursuit. And stars are actually popular idols. Of course, they must have both aspects.
That is, you must be a leader in business and be admired and followed, and you must also have spiritual charisma. Only by combining the two can you be a complete star. In modern times, we talk about being famous and professional, but in ancient times, we talked about having both moral integrity and talent.
Cao Cao, the most shameless person of all time, also has feelings of compassion, such as 'white bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no roosters crowing for thousands of miles'. This is the bottom line. If you don't have this, and are only strong in business but lacking in morals, you will be finished soon.
. Because every ordinary person will think that a person who is good at business is basically a strong person. But if a strong person has no moral restraint, he will hurt us sooner or later. Why should we make such a person strong? So from the beginning
From the first step, there are moral requirements. We have Confucianism in China and religion in Europe. They start from ordinary people. The stronger the requirements, the higher the requirements. This is a reasonable requirement for every individual and group in our human society to defend themselves."
Shui Junyi nodded deeply after listening: "What you said is easy to understand, it is such a basic logic."
Wang Ai picked up the cup and took a sip, then put it down and calmed down a little: "Probably the most sports stars are our football stars. After all, we have the largest audience. I will use football stars as an example. Well, let's put it this way, look at those football stadiums
, the exterior may have various shapes and colors, but when viewed from above, are they very similar? They are basically the same? Then think about it again, are these football fields similar to some ancient building?"
Shui Junyi asked tentatively: "Colosseum?"
Wang Ai sighed silently, leaned on the chair and nodded with emotion: "We are all gladiators. Just like in ancient times, we have to use our own hard work to win the applause of the audience, and use our own skills to eat this bowl of rice. You can lose
In competitions, for example, ancient gladiators were killed by their opponents and eaten by lions. This is inevitable. It is also inevitable for us to lose in modern times. But no matter what, you cannot be cowardly, cannot run away, cannot cry, cannot beg, you are
Even if you lose, you have to fight until the last moment. You will lose your star because of losing the game, but you will not be disqualified. You will always lose, and it will be a slow decline, and everyone will still recall your glory days. And if you are disqualified
, everything will return to zero in an instant, and all you will get for the rest of your life is ridicule and abuse."
"Why is this happening? Or why is it that sports stars are required to have unyielding will?" Shui Junyi asked.
"Because sports are part of the military! Among the six arts of a gentleman in ancient China, driving and shooting are driving a carriage and shooting arrows. The carriage was equivalent to a tank at that time. If you can drive a tank, you must also be able to fire a cannon. This is not a combat team.
? You see, this is both military and sports. European gladiators competed in personal skills, which can be used on the battlefield. Even in modern times, some of our high-tech arms are also closely related to sports. For example, once they come
To carry out a combat mission, you may have to work continuously for days and nights. You may not be able to eat or sleep well, but you have to persevere. How can you do it without a good body and a strong will? Military struggle is a life-and-death struggle, and you cannot retreat.
Struggle, so the public’s demands for sports stars have the same core as their demands for generals and heroes. For example, the most common phenomenon is that a certain sports star is a hero, but you will basically never hear that a singer or movie star is
Such a compliment."
With Shui Junyi nodding deeply, Wang Ai summarized this paragraph: "Sports stars must be outstanding athletes, but outstanding athletes are not necessarily stars. To put it simply, even if you lose, you will lose on the battlefield. In the charge
, when you get hit, you should be hit on the face instead of the back. Sports stars don’t need to dress up and show off, but they must have strong mental strength. If you stand here, your toughness will hit you.
Come on, it's the so-called aura. You can be rough but you must be strong! Even if you are not good-looking or even ugly, it doesn't matter. Coincidentally, our sports industry is really dominated by ugly people, and there are not many people who can look past it.
, if you don’t believe it, look at Yao Ming, look at Sun Jihai, look at Fan Zhiyi, look at Gao Hong... Well, aren’t they celebrities? That’s what the public demands. No one thinks they are qualified to accept endorsements, and no one thinks they are qualified for endorsements.
His face was disgusted."
"Are you ugly too?"
"I, I... don't compare me with those ugly monsters." Wang Ai waved his arms: "I have thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose, right? And my skin? Let me tell you the last point,
The public has no requirements for sports stars’ appearance, but if you are really good-looking, wouldn’t that be better?”
