Chapter 418: The Game Begins

The reporters laughed knowingly, everyone understood, after all, it was an official competition, not a ring of non-governmental organizations in ancient times, and the leaders definitely did not support this kind of life and death contract on the surface.

Liu Yan also understood Chairman Wang, and then added: "Chairman Wang is right, this is a gamble between our private individuals, so we will not say it at this press conference. I hope you don't talk about it either. ”

That being said, the press conference is open to the media, and this gamble will definitely count, otherwise the loser will have no face to stay.

The host felt that the atmosphere was a little dignified, so he changed the topic and said: "Okay, the speeches of the two contestants just now are very exciting, and they also brought the topic to everyone, let's start the third link, the question session of reporter friends, please ask questions enthusiastically, you can ask questions to the players, to the leaders, and you can also ask me questions!"

The reporters couldn't bear it for a long time, they had a lot of questions, but most of the reporters wanted to ask Liu Yan and Kawaguchi, the two of them have become the biggest attraction of this competition, and they are very topical.

A female reporter stood up and asked, "Mr. Liu Yan, are you married?"

Although the reporters also needed to write some lace news about the contestants to get attention, the female reporter was obviously selfish, and she just wanted to know about Liu Yan's personal life.

The host took the microphone, walked up to Liu Yan, and said half-jokingly: "Mr. Liu Yan, you can choose to answer this question or choose not to answer, of course, you can also talk to her about this issue in private." ”

The audience laughed again, the female reporter blushed and lowered her head in shame, but she still stood and waited for Liu Yan's answer.

Liu Yan looked at the female reporter with a smile and said, "I can tell you this, I am not married, but I already have a girlfriend!"

"Oh......" The female reporters in the audience sighed almost at the same time, and the male reporters all snickered.

A male reporter stood up and asked, "Mr. Kawaguchi, I would like to ask a question, if you lose this competition, will you commit suicide by caesarean section?"

The question is very sharp, to be honest, a little rude, but Kawaguchi's words just now are too arrogant, so this reporter's question can be regarded as a punishment for him.

Sure enough, Kawaguchi's face changed, he didn't want to answer this question, but this was a press conference, and he had to answer the reporter's question!

After thinking for a few seconds, Kawaguchi slowly replied, "No!"

He only said two words, and it was obvious that he was unwilling to answer the question, but the male reporter did not give up, and continued to ask: "Doesn't your country have this tradition?

Faced with the hostility of the male reporter, Kawaguchi couldn't hold back any longer, shouted violently, and yelled at the reporter: "What do you mean? Why do you ask such a question!"

His voice was so loud that it startled several reporters in front of him, but the male reporter held his head high, without the slightest timidity, and looked at Kawaguchi.

Seeing that Kawaguchi was angry, the host smiled secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he still warned him very seriously: "Mr. Kawaguchi, please pay attention to your words and attitude, if you don't want to answer, you can refuse to answer." ”

Kawaguchi held back the anger in his chest, sat down again, and said, "Refuse to answer!"

Several male reporters burst into laughter, and Kawaguchi and several other Japanese players were angry enough, but this was also their own doing, and they were too arrogant just now.

At this time, a male reporter asked Liu Yan a question: "Mr. Liu Yan, I heard that you are still a businessman, and you have several medicinal restaurants under your hands, so you should be very busy, so how do you usually arrange your time?"

Liu Yan replied with a smile: "This question is very good, indeed, I am a businessman, and I am usually very busy, so I can only practice martial arts an hour before going to bed every day, there is not much time, but you should persevere!"

The male reporter was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Only practice for an hour a day?"

"That's right!" Liu Yan shrugged and replied.

The reporters all started to talk about it, and even Kawaguchi looked at Liu Yan with a look of suspicion.

Liu Yan knew that they didn't believe it, so he explained: "My kung fu is mainly to practice internal strength, so it doesn't take too long, just practice the internal strength and mental method that my master taught me." ”

The reporters nodded one after another, their eyes were full of envy, Liu Yan, a young man with money and high kung fu, is simply a genius, how many years does it take for Huaxia to produce such a character!

Another female reporter stood up and asked, "Can I ask Qi Yulin, who is also from the Southwest Division, a question?"

This was the first reporter to ask questions other than Liu Yan and Kawaguchi, and everyone's attention shifted to this reporter.

Qi Yulin didn't expect the reporter to ask him a question at all, he was still thinking about Liu Yan's bet with Kawaguchi, and the reporter suddenly called him by name, and he was stunned.

The host handed the microphone to him, and he said slowly: "Of course, please ask!"

"Mr. Qi, I heard that you are the president of the martial arts association, so do you think this martial arts conference will have an impact on your association?" This reporter's thinking angle is obviously thinking of what Liu Yan just said, to expand the team of martial arts talents in China, and Qi Yulin, as the martial arts president of a local organization, must have some feelings.

Qi Yulin thought for a while and replied: "The question you asked is very good, I am actually quite ashamed, as the president of the Fuyang Wushu Association, I have not done enough in terms of publicity and selection of talents, it may be that my ability is insufficient, most of the time I am just practicing by myself or only teaching within the association, neglecting to publicize to the public, so that for several years, the number of people in our association has increased very slowly." I think that through this competition, more people will participate, and I will also organize similar competitions in Fuyang City to increase people's interest in martial arts!"

Qi Yulin's answer was applauded by everyone, and he also represented the leaders of many local and countless organizations, who neglected propaganda in their daily work and limited martial arts to a small circle, which led to the public's sense of respect and distance from martial arts, which was equivalent to hindering the development of martial arts in disguise.

The reporter continued to ask: "Mr. Qi, I saw that you and Mr. Liu Yan had a very happy conversation, can you ask how the relationship between you is in private, are you very familiar?"

The reporter went around and asked Liu Yan's head, Qi Yulin and Liu Yan looked at each other and smiled, and then replied: "Our relationship is very good, he can be said to be my mentor and friend, and the process of my first acquaintance with him is also very interesting, it can be regarded as not knowing each other!"

As soon as he said this, the reporters were interested, and the stories between the contestants were also a kind of talking point, especially related to Liu Yan, which was an excellent material for news.

The reporter wasted no time in asking: "If you don't fight, you don't know each other?" Can Mr. Qi tell us about the scene at that time?"

Qi Yulin turned his head and asked Liu Yan with a smile: "Can you say it?"

Liu Yan shrugged: "Of course you can." ”

So Qi Yulin told the story of Liu Yan at the beginning, and the reporters listened to it with relish, and burst into laughter from time to time.

Although Qi Yulin's performance in the qualifiers was not as dazzling as Liu Yan, he was also a very powerful player, only losing to Okamoto Chuan once, and his fighting style was very pleasing to the audience, his playing style was very elegant, his movements were stretched, and he was very watchable.

Then the reporters asked some miscellaneous questions, and almost all the twelve contestants were asked questions, some questions were about martial arts, some were about individuals, and some were anecdotes on the field.

In this modern era of information explosion, it is believed that within a few hours, these press releases will reach every part of the world.

The two-hour press conference was a complete success, and in the course of the three links, the reporters basically got everything they wanted, of course, the biggest gimmick was the "gamble" between Liu Yan and Kawaguchi!

The headlines on the front page of every forum, TV and other propaganda media are about this gamble, and netizens are also willing to participate in the discussion, most of them support Liu Yan, but there are also a small number of people who feel that the stealth technique of the Wa Kingdom is too powerful, and Liu Yan may not be able to beat it.

Through this press conference, the finals of the Chinese Wushu Conference were pushed to the top ten of the hot search list, which was also something that many people did not expect in advance.

Liu Yan's original intention was not to cause contradictions and topics between Huaxia and the Wa Kingdom, he knew the current international situation, and countries should get along with each other amicably, but things were forced to come here, and he couldn't help but think about it.

Kawaguchi Sinan knows a lot about Chinese culture, while he humbly accepts a lot of Chinese culture, he also looks down on Chinese people and Huaxia kung fu, which is very annoying, Liu Yan, as the only disciple of Ye Nantian, of course can't sit idly by, he must strike hard and hit this arrogant Japanese people.

In the midst of all the anticipation, the finals of the Chinese Wushu Conference began!

At eight o'clock in the morning the next day, the entrance of the gymnasium was surrounded by martial arts fans from all over the country, and even many foreign martial arts fans also rushed to hear the sound, some of them bought tickets, some did not have tickets, and could only learn about the game through the Internet, even so, they were far away from the scene to feel the atmosphere of the game.

In the Beijing Gymnasium, the staff was nervously busy, and the twelve players were also ready in the back locker room, they first changed into a costume with strong Chinese characteristics - Tang costume, to appear at the simple opening ceremony, and then changed into vests and sports shorts in the official competition.

At the opening ceremony, the first link was naturally the leader's speech, Chairman Wang and Director Lu both made brief speeches, followed by a song and dance performance and martial arts performance, which were very exciting, causing bursts of applause at the scene.
