Because Samaranch was here that day, he didn't bother the two hosts. Gu Kun's second 100-meter freestyle gold medal was still awarded to him by Samaranch.
Starting tomorrow, there won’t be such good treatment.
However, just the presentation of these two gold medals was enough for him to be reported by the world's top mainstream media.
In China in July 1996, the Internet had not yet spread to the general public. It would take three months for the first Internet cafe in China to open in Hujiang. The Internet fee of 20 yuan an hour could only be used to dial 56k telephone calls.
But Oceania was already the second most developed country in terms of Internet infrastructure at that time. 56k had been popularized here in 1994, and vdsl is now widely used. High-end netizens can already browse image files with higher compression on the web. I believe
The wonderful photos of Gu Kun winning the award will also be circulated on the Internet.
(At that time, Oceanic browsers rarely loaded images directly on text pages, which would be too laggy. To view each image, you had to specifically click on the image link to start downloading the image.)
Gu Kun came down from the awards stage and was about to leave when he was blocked by a female reporter from Fox TV.
n is a typical civilian pig line, and Fox is a typical nuclear donor line.
Traditional real estate tycoons, whether they develop residential or commercial real estate, are mostly in the supply chain. Therefore, thanks to their connections, the person who first interviewed Gu Kun was undoubtedly someone from Fox.
After all, the Hilton family and the Nash family are both core real estate developers.
"Gu, how do you feel after winning the gold medal this time? Is there anyone you want to thank?" the female reporter asked with a smile on her face.
Gu Kun pretended to cut his hair to show that he was thinking, and then slowly replied in Chinese: "Should I thank the country and the government first? But our Lanfang country is only a country with a permanent population of hundreds of thousands. They don't seem to be busy.
None of them helped.
I think that what I have achieved today is all due to my own hard work, and I have no one to thank. Before I appeared, the Lanfang Islands had not even considered joining the International Olympic Committee as a member state. All the procedures were done by me.
It was run by people. Otherwise, the Lampang Islands would still be like Brunei, which was founded at the same time as the country next door, without even being able to register athletes."
Gu Kun's English level is of course no problem for simple daily conversations. When he communicates with those foreign girls and ghost girls, except for Midlova and other subordinates who have to speak Chinese, all other equal discussions are in English.
But since he was being interviewed by Fox TV at this moment, the other party would definitely provide an interpreter. Of course, Gu Kun had to speak Chinese without being humble or condescending, and even asked the other party to directly translate the questions into Chinese. This was his right.
Female reporter: "Then you are really almighty, but we are not saying that you should thank the country or the government. You may be limited by the habit of interviewing Chinese media, so you are limited. We in Oceania are a country where individuals pay attention.
You can thank your parents, relatives or friends."
Gu Kun showed a very "family-oriented" nostalgic expression: "Well, it's a pity that I am an orphan. My parents were killed by the colonists when I was seven years old."
In the Oceania media, celebrities have to show that they attach great importance to "family values", which has to be said to be a huge hypocrisy.
Even before Kennedy ran for president, he had to be bombarded by his staff that "bachelors will not be trusted by the people", and then he had no choice but to marry Jacqueline - he originally took more than 40 pills for various diseases every day and lived a day-to-day life.
Calculating his temper, he definitely only plays with women but does not marry them.
However, the content of Gu Kun's answer was very embarrassing. The female reporter really couldn't ask further questions. This was a slap in the face to the colonial dog of Brittany.
She quickly changed the subject: "Then what are your expectations for this Olympics? Are you confident that you can win more gold medals in subsequent events?"
Gu Kun said matter-of-factly: "That's necessary. I've broken world records so many times. The current results of other people can't even reach the record I set three times ago, so as long as you don't perform abnormally, there should be no problem."
"
Female reporter: "What about those new events in which you have not broken the record before? According to the data, you have not practiced butterfly swimming before, so your medley events were shortlisted for the A standard through normal qualifying rounds. Are you sure you can win the championship in these events?
?”
Gu Kun: "We'll know when the time comes."
Female reporter: "Then what else do you want to say about the hosting of this Olympics?"
Gu Kun pretended to think about it slowly: "I don't know whether to say something or not. Maybe it's because I have participated in fewer international competitions. I have only been to Fukuoka before. I think the level of sanitation facilities at the Universiade in Fukuoka is better than here.
, maybe it’s because the Japanese are too hospitable and polite.”
Gu Kun did not directly say that Oceania was trying to make money, but he only said that the Japanese were warm and hospitable.
Just like Zuo Lengchan asked Yue Buqun if he really thought he could beat him, Yue Buqun certainly couldn't slap him in the face directly, but said, "Yue's martial arts are simply inferior to those of Shaolin Master Fang Zheng and Wudang Chongxu Taoist Master."
It’s beyond reach.”
As for whether defeating Zuo Lengchan is enough, Zuo Lengchan has to figure it out for himself.
If you are self-aware, you should know the subtext of the other party: I am targeting whom! No one else is a hot chick, only you are a hot chick!
This kind of rhetoric is quite opposite and complementary to "everyone here is a jerk".
…
That night, as well as the morning news the next day, the interview with Gu Kun was actually disclosed to Fox TV, and was then spread by friends who had a reprint cooperation relationship.
Gu Kun's victory and subsequent arrogance left a deep impression on the people of Oceania. For a while, the legend about him finally began to spread among the ordinary people of Oceania who "never cared about what happened in foreign countries".
time, arousing heated discussion.
Gu Kun's insinuation that Atlanta's infrastructure investment was too poor was also supported by Fox's people - there is no way, all real estate developers are in the supply chain.
Those who are suppressing investment in infrastructure are the democrats. The nuclear power supply faction is eager to spend money on infrastructure. Developers and contractors are all making money. Fox is fanning the flames, just like Clinton on the stage who "just needs information."
, no bricks” economic construction idea was criticized.
Besides, it’s not Gu Kun, an athlete, who said this. The hardware of this Olympic Games is indeed too rubbish, and it has seriously embarrassed Oceania.
In the next two or three days, the wind calmed down a bit.
From July 17th to 19th, Gu Kun won three gold medals in the 200-meter freestyle and 100/200-meter breaststroke, increasing his personal number of gold medals to five.
When he achieved 5 gold medals, there was a slight sensation, because he had become the player with the most gold medals in this Olympics. However, because everyone had expected this, it caused a sensation and hit the mark again.
A hot topic in the street talk, and then nothing more.
After reaching this point, Gu Kun's popularity is roughly the same as that of Phelps in 2004.
Didn't Phelps just win 6 gold medals in one session at the 2004 Athens Olympics? But Phelps has a team relay event, and the team strength has always been the strongest in the Oceania team, and it has been swimming for many consecutive years.
The Oceanic team wins the relay competition. Therefore, the real gold content of Phelps's 6 gold medals in a single session will definitely not be higher than Gu Kun's current 5 gold medals in a single session.
Gu Kun will be mentioned in the news and gold medal lists every day, and everyone will chat for a few words and then continue to watch the show.
Only the women around Gu Kun, the team leader, and professional service staff felt sorry for Gu Kun.
"We have won so many gold medals, but we haven't seen the people of Oceania becoming more and more sensational. It's really a double standard."
This complaint was made by Gu Kun's senior sister and team leader Luo Haili in private after Gu Kun received his fifth gold medal on the 19th. Her words were full of dissatisfaction.
Gu Kun didn't take it seriously. He got down from the podium and took a bottle of purified water with ease. He drank it as if he were drinking O'Neal's oral liquid. Then he analyzed it with his senior sister:
"They have a refractory period if they are stimulated too much. If they had an orgasm every time I reached a new high, they would have been paralyzed long ago. I estimate that Western people generally look away these days, mainly because of the following reasons:
Breaststroke is inherently the most technical of the four swimming strokes, so Asians, or to be precise, yellow races, are always stronger. Oceania, Lucia, and the Germans don’t have the ability to win gold medals in breaststroke, so I won two gold medals against them.
It just feels natural.
Today and tomorrow, there will be intensive butterfly swimming competitions, but I did not participate in butterfly swimming. It is the strength of Oceania and Australians, so no one pays attention to me. As for freestyle, I have already won the 50m and 100m double championships, and the 200m.
It feels normal to hold them again."
(Note: "Refractory period" means sage time. The former is a medical term and the latter is a common name.)
Luo Haili thought about it for a while and then asked by analogy: "Then do you think that the backstroke starting the day after tomorrow, the medley swimming at the same time, and the subsequent long-distance events will rekindle the hot discussion of you among Western audiences?"
Gu Kun nodded: "That's pretty much it. The breaststroke and butterfly strokes are just for everyone to take a breather. But when it came to the backstroke, before I appeared, the Oceania players were the strongest. They had Jeff Ross and Trump.
.The two famous generals Schwenk originally planned to have double insurance with gold and silver medals.
These two people were even the creators of world records before. In this project, the people of Oceania will definitely pay crazy attention and hope that any of them can create miracles."
In addition to football, the attention a country's people pay to a certain competition event is definitely closely related to the strength of its own players in the event.
Just like the Chinese people pay attention to badminton and table tennis, just because the Chinese team is killing everyone in these fields. When diving is good, more people pay attention to the diving competition.
Similarly, in Oceania, the swimming team has always been a big winner of gold medals, so there are a lot of people paying attention to it, but they are especially concerned about the event group in which their country has the greatest hope of winning.
In the freestyle field, ocean star Gary Hall is not actually dominating the swimming world. Even without Gu Kun, Gary Hall is still at a slight disadvantage in the competition with Lucia's mortal enemy Popov.
Decades of Cold War mentality have made it easy for the people of Oceania to block news about events that "may lose to their mortal enemy Lao Maozi" and subconsciously do not want to pay attention to them.
But in the field of backstroke, the Lucians did not have a strong opponent this time. Before Gu Kun appeared, the Ocean team wanted to win the gold and silver in both the 100 and 200 meters. In their view, this was a civil war. Just like the Chinese team
They often fight in the Olympic table tennis finals.
Therefore, Gu Kun is not worried about the social attention of his decisive battle with Jeff Ross and Trump Schwenk.
The clock of history finally turned to July 20, and the backstroke competition began.
