Chapter 517: Lawrence Red Carpet
The 1202 Laureus World Sports Awards ceremony began at 8 p.m. local time on February 18 and was broadcast live worldwide.
The Laureus Awards was broadcast live on a wide scale, with more than 180 countries able to watch the live broadcast, with more than 1 billion viewers, a lot of online rights sold every year, and advertising revenue of more than 500 million euros a few years ago.
At 6 p.m., the guests attending the awards ceremony began to enter one after another, that is, the stars walked the red carpet.
Because of the time difference, at this time, Huaxia time was just past zero and entered the 19th.
In previous years, to be honest, the ratings of the live broadcast of the Laureus Awards Ceremony in China were not high, and compared to other countries, coupled with the population base of China, it was really quite low.
The reason is relatively simple, because the number of nominations of Chinese athletes is too small, there are fewer awards, and every live broadcast is in the early hours of the morning, so there are fewer people to watch, not to mention the live broadcast, and even the results of the award ceremony are not even hot, and there are very few people who pay attention to who wins what kind of awards every year.
Not to mention that foreign athletes have won awards, even the popularity of domestic athletes winning awards is not high, for example, Xia Boyu (Best Sports Moment of the Year), who was also the most recent winner in 19, is also very few people who know it.
Huaxia's attention to the Laureus Award is estimated to be traced back to 15 years, or even earlier, when there were tennis Na, Da Yao, and Xiang Feiren, and then it fell off a cliff. This is not to say that the Chinese athletes and the level of sports have declined, but it is actually that Laureus's preferred sport is not the dish of Chinese athletes, and so far it is really the tennis Na who has an appetite for the event.
The tennis project can really be said to be Lawrence's "pro-son", of course, if you understand this as Lawrence's "pro-father" from another perspective, it is not wrong.
The number one and second most Laureus Awards, as well as the Grand Slams to date, are all tennis players – track and field athlete Lightning Bolt has also won four awards and is tied with Djokovic for the second most – and tennis players are represented in each year's awards, especially the best male and female athletes, with at least one nomination each year.
Why?
One is because tennis players are influential, the other is because of the high commercial value - tennis players who make the most money every year must appear in the top three, and third, because Lawrence's sponsors, partners, and advertisers' spokespeople are looking for tennis players most of the time, which must be related.
I don't know whether to call it a virtuous circle or a vicious circle.
But no matter what, the authority and influence of the Laureus Award are there, don't look at the Chinese people's low attention to it, but they all know the weight of this award, if there are really Chinese athletes who win awards and are one of the five awards, it is absolutely boiling and hotly discussed.
No, strictly speaking, before the start of this year's awards ceremony, Huaxia has already begun to discuss hotly, and the heat is far greater than in any previous year.
The discussion on the Internet about whether Meng Fan can win the award began after knowing that Meng Fan was nominated for two awards, and there are many people who think that Meng Fan will definitely win the award, of course, there are many people who think that the possibility of Meng Fan winning the award is very low, this is not a decline, but more rational analysis, which is more consistent that the vast majority of people hope that Meng Fan can win the award.
Meng Fan is one of the greatest athletes of this century – it's not that the Chinese people feel good about themselves, and they definitely have what it takes to be the greatest athlete of the century by winning five gold medals in three major sports in a single Olympic Games – and they all hope that Meng Fan can make a difference in this world's most influential and only global sports award ceremony.
The CCTV 5 Sports Channel has a live broadcast of Lawrence, but it does not include all the red carpet show, but only the live broadcast interspersed in the process of rebroadcasting today's sports news, among which the more important guest red carpet part includes the red carpet part of several Laureus Sports Society members in China, and also includes two of the Chinese stars who insist on participating in the Laureus Awards Ceremony, of course, there is also the red carpet part of Meng Fan.
Penguin Sports and several domestic sports websites have live broadcasts throughout the whole process, and there are already many people guarding it since 0:00, and the number of people online is much more than in previous years, and there is no doubt that the extra part is aimed at Meng Fan.
There are also more accounts on the scarf that are live streaming the red carpet show of the Laureus Awards in pictures and texts, and there have been in previous years, after all, it is a world sports event, and there are so many star athletes appearing, in terms of coffee position (influence and value), the Laureus Award does not belong to any film awards, compared to Cannes and other film awards that will be hotly discussed on the bib every year.
Of course, the Laureus Awards red carpet show will not have the same red carpet as the Cannes and other film awards, at least not so often.
There are still a lot of handsome men and women in the sports world, plus the partners brought by the athletes to participate in the award ceremony together, it is even more handsome men and beautiful women. In foreign countries, the wives or girlfriends of male athletes are basically big beauties, among which models include supermodels and Victoria's Secret angels, female singers, and actresses, and there are exceptions, but the proportion will not exceed one percent.
Therefore, this red carpet show is star-studded and eye-catching.
Obviously, there will be another pair of eye-catching existences on the red carpet show this year.
Of course, the reporters on both sides of the red carpet know the appearance and charm of Chinese athlete Meng Fan, if you want to rank the global athlete charm ranking (including active and retired), even if it is ranked by Western media that are different from Eastern aesthetics, Meng Fan, who is full of sunshine and male charm and is recognized as the most capable athlete in the world, can definitely enter the top three.
They were looking forward to Meng Fan, who appeared on the red carpet in a formal suit today, but they were not surprised at all, and the surprise was Wu Tong next to Meng Fan.
Meng Fan's girlfriend, no, now strictly speaking, it should be a fiancée, it has been reported by foreign media, but not every reporter knows about it, and maybe has heard of it, but I really didn't expect it to be so beautiful.
never loses the figure of a supermodel, and the appearance and temperament with oriental charm conquered the media reporters present and the cameras in their hands as soon as they appeared.
Handsome men and beautiful women, golden boys and girls, fairy couples!
The appearance of Meng Fan and Wu Tong made the flash lights on the scene instantly active, and the eyes of foreign viewers watching the live broadcast of the red carpet suddenly lit up, and the charm poured out directly out of the screen to make people exclaim.
The barrage of domestic live broadcast websites has also been active, and people watching live broadcasts while eating supper in front of the TV have also stopped their chopsticks, and screenshots of the popular area of the scarf have also appeared.
Although it has become commonplace in China for Meng Fan and Wu Tong, a couple who may show their affection and love dog food anytime and anywhere, they are still excited and excited, and they like to watch foreign media look like they have never seen the world.
