Section 394: Go to Shenyang and Watch Tigers (Part 2)
Of course, a stadium is not enough to make other cities helpless. Then the representatives of Shenyang City did not give them a chance to continue fighting. They raised their hands and said: "Vice Chairman Nan, leaders, there are several advantages for our Shenyang to host this event. First, if my calculations are correct, most of the players in Ali Haan's national team are northern players, right? Specifically, the majority of players are from Liaoshen, right? Then, it is better to go to the hot Wuhan and Chongqing to compete. Is it better, or is it better to compete in your hometown? From climate to food, where is more suitable for them to play?"
Representatives from other brother cities were speechless. This is indeed a factor that must be considered. China is so big and there are so many things on the tip of the tongue. Although the acclimatization is not that serious because the water is clean, the climate still has obvious differences in adaptability. For example, northerners are not used to the hot and humid Lingnan climate in summer, and the same goes for the sweltering Wuhan and Chongqing. Before a game, I sweat two pounds. Sometimes when watching a game, the players are not in good condition, and the fans complain that the players are not trying their best. But often there is no way.
Similarly, the four distinct seasons in the north also lead to different body reactions in different seasons. For example, northerners have the custom of "putting on autumn fat", that is, before winter, they eat as much as a hibernating bear and build up thicker fat. Layers are used to keep out the cold. That’s why Northeastern people often gain weight and Cantonese people wear clothes on their backs. This is why overeating and overeating are all related to geographical conditions. Under the influence of this climate, the human body will also Adjust to the climate.
"Secondly, Shenyang is a blessed place for Chinese football, right? Shenyang qualified for the first World Cup. Regardless of whether it makes sense or not, we cannot ignore the subconscious and psychological hints, right? Come to Shenyang to compete, more or less Will it enhance the players' confidence in the game? Maybe not much, but a little more is a little bit, right? No one can deny the impact of this, right?"
Representatives from other cities still couldn't refute. Before psychology was classified as a science, this was of course called feudal superstition, but in any case, it had a positive impact, and psychology became a science. After analyzing this issue, the representatives from Shenyang City Feeling more confident.
"Finally." The representative of Shenyang City put on a sincere and even downcast expression: "There are no outsiders today, and I am not afraid of embarrassment. Representatives of the brother cities all know that the economy in Northeast China has been poor in the past few years, and people's hearts are... They are all scattered, and college students are rushing to the border. Liaoning's population has been experiencing negative growth for many years. Without a population, there is no need to develop the economy. Although various brother cities also have various problems, no one has a bleaker prospect than ours. We need The game needs good news, and it needs to cheer up the fans, the society, and the people. In any case, only when people are united can the mountains move."
The conference room felt heavy for a moment. The economic situation of the three eastern provinces could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of these middle- and senior-level cadres. The former eldest son of the Republic, the people of Liaoning who used to hold their chests high and their heads high, were experiencing a scene very similar to what happened after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union. Struggles. Factories closed down, workers were laid off, social security was chaotic, gangs and gangs were rampant, the judiciary was corrupt, local governments were infiltrated by various forces, etc.
The three northeastern provinces, which are based on heavy industry, with the completion of the national industrial layout, are naturally left with unnecessary junk, including people and things.
"Can you ensure that the game is organized smoothly?" In the silence, Nan Yong spoke decisively: "I know that the Dashuai Stadium has a capacity of 38,000, and the seats are slightly less. It may not be able to satisfy the enthusiasm of fans across the country. At the same time, the seats are too large. It is small, and its ability to stimulate the local economy is also average.”
The representative of Shenyang City waited for Nan Yong to finish and explained: "Earlier before the completion of the Dashuai Stadium, Xiao Wang, oh, Wang Ai once left two hands in this area. One is that the stadium's stands currently only have two floors, which is okay. At the same time, some open space for seats has been reserved in the stands. Because the current football market in Liaoning and Shenyang is average, so the number of seats has been reduced for fear of appearing to have too many empty seats. Secondly, many seats in the stands are detachable and can be turned into Standing ticket.”
Nan Yong frowned and shook his head: "Standing tickets are not good. In such an important game, fans can easily lose control of their emotions. There are seats in the way, so people can't rush forward, and there is no crowd flow. But if you have standing tickets, it is easy to have an accident and get trampled." People are a big deal, and I don’t want a Heysel tragedy to happen in China.”
The representative of Shenyang City quickly added: "Then we will not remove the seats, I mean, we can temporarily add seats. As long as Shenyang gets the right to host, we will notify Liaoning Football Team to temporarily set up strong seats in the reserved places to ensure safety. At the same time, we will temporarily hang up large screens in the small squares around the stadium to satisfy the desire of fans who still cannot buy tickets. At the same time, I believe that the appearance of the Dashuai Stadium will not disappoint fans who did not enter the stadium. "
After a comprehensive offensive from representatives of Shenyang City, ranging from interests to emotions, and from culture to psychology, the Football Association finally agreed to Shenyang as the city to host the quarterfinals. In the final analysis, it was only three games. In the past year and a half at the Dashuai Stadium We have held dozens of competitions and hundreds of concerts, and our experience in large-scale events is trustworthy.
At the end of October, half a month after the national team qualified in Kuwait City, the Chinese Football Association announced the host city and main venue for the quarter-finals of the 2006 World Cup for the Chinese team. Nan Yong, who attended the press conference, also specially raised a picture of the stadium. He suggested that fans across the country take the opportunity to watch football and travel in Shenyang. The vice chairman of the Football Association was born in Jilin, so he naturally sympathizes with the economic situation of the three eastern provinces and the worries of people from his hometown, so he also had the rare opportunity to represent the Chinese Football Association. Actively recommend.
In 2005, the Internet was not yet developed, and most people did not have access to the Internet. Therefore, many people did not know about Dashuai Stadium, and even if they knew it, they had never seen its appearance. After all, if you don’t read sports newspapers or the Chinese Super League, you simply don’t know it. No one knows what it looks like. The huge photo of the Dashuai Stadium that Nan Yong held up on TV also got a five-second feature on the sports channel.
This time, Wang Ai's hard work was detonated across the country.
The big black and white tiger hidden behind the green trees is unique. It has cultural characteristics and is very visually impactful. However, there has never been a big platform to promote it like this in the past. And with Chinese football, it is once again close to the World Cup finals. In the east wind, the big tiger finally appeared in front of the people of the whole country.
An interesting thing happened around this time. When Chen Daoming was occasionally asked about his schedule by reporters during the filming of the movie, he said casually: "Early next year, I will go to Shenyang to see tigers."
This childlike remark, uttered from the mouth of "Emperor Kangxi", instantly became a buzzword, making countless netizens laugh and countless fans making appointments: Go to Shenyang to see tigers!
