Chapter 31: One Piece and One Relaxation, the Way of the Sage
Because Samaranch came that day, he didn't bother the two masters, and Gu Kun's second 100-meter freestyle gold medal was still awarded to him by Samaranch.
Starting tomorrow, there will be no such good treatment.
However, just the award pictures of these two gold medals are enough for him to be reported by the world's top mainstream media.
In China in July 1996, the Internet had not yet reached the people. China's first Internet café did not open in Hujiang until three months later, and the Internet fee of 20 yuan an hour could only be dialed by 56K telephone.
However, Oceania was already the second most developed country in terms of Internet infrastructure at that time, and 56K was popularized here in 94 years, and VDSL is now widely used. High-end netizens can already browse high-compression picture files on the web, and I believe that the wonderful photos of Gu Kun winning the award will also be circulated on the Internet.
(At that time, Oceania's browsers rarely loaded images directly on text pages, which would be too stuck.) To see each image, you have to click on the image link specifically to start downloading the image. )
Gu Kun got down from the podium and was about to leave when he was stopped by a female reporter from Fox TV.
In Oceania, CNN is a typical folk pig line, and Fox is a typical nucleus line.
Traditional real estate tycoons, whether they are developing residential or commercial real estate, are mostly for the nuclear system, so there is no doubt that the person who first interviewed Gu Kun was the person who was Fox.
After all, the Hilton family, as well as the Nash family, are all nuclear real estate developers.
"Gu, how do you feel after winning the gold medal this time? The female reporter asked with a smile on her face.
Gu Kun pretended to cut his hair to show his thoughts, and then slowly replied in Chinese: "Should I thank the country and the government first? But our Lanfang is only a country with a permanent population of more than 100,000, and they don't seem to be helping in any way."
I think I've worked hard to get to where I am today, and I don't have anyone to thank for it. Before I showed up, the Ranfang Islands didn't even think about joining the IOC and becoming a member, and I had to find someone to do all the formalities. Otherwise, the Lanfang Islands would still be like Brunei, which was founded at the same time next door, and would not even be a registered athlete. ”
Gu Kun's English level, of course, is no problem with simple daily conversation. When he communicated with those foreign girls and ghost girls, except for Midlova's subordinates, who had to speak Chinese, all other equals spoke English.
But since he is being interviewed by Fox TV at this moment, the other party will definitely have an interpreter at that time, of course, Gu Kun will speak Chinese without humility or arrogance, and even ask the other party to translate the question directly into Chinese. It's his right.
Female reporter: "Then you are really an all-rounder, but we don't mean that you should thank the country or the government. You may be limited by the habit of interviewing Chinese-language media, so you are a little limited. Oceania is a country of personal attention, and you can thank your parents, relatives or friends. ”
Gu Kun showed a very "family attention" nostalgic expression: "Okay, it's a pity that I'm an orphan, and my parents were killed by 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 great 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 could only marry Jacqueline - originally with Kennedy's temper of taking more than 40 pills a day for various diseases and living happily every day, he definitely only played with women and did not marry.
However, the content of Gu Kun's answer is very embarrassing, and the female reporter really can't ask any further, this is a slap in the face of the Brittany colonial dog.
She hurriedly changed the subject: "Then what are your prospects for this Olympic Games, and are you confident that you will win more gold medals in the subsequent events?"
Gu Kun said as a matter of course: "That's a must, I've broken so many world records, and at present, other people's usual results can't even reach my record three times ago, so as long as you don't play abnormally, there should be no problem." ”
Female reporter: "What about the new events that you haven't broken records before? According to the data, you haven't practiced butterfly before, so your medley event was qualified for the A standard through the normal qualifying round, are you sure to win the championship?"
Gu Kun: "Won't you know when the time comes?" ”
Female reporter: "What else do you want to say about the state of the Olympic Games?"
Gu Kun pretended to think slowly: "I don't know whether to say something or not, maybe it's because I have participated in relatively few international competitions, and I have only been to Fukuoka before." I think the level of sanitation facilities at the Fukuoka Universiade is better than here, probably because I am too hospitable and polite. ”
Gu Kun didn't say that Oceania was making money, but only said that he was hospitable.
Just like Zuo Lengchan asked Yue Buqun if he really felt that he could win him, of course Yue Buqun couldn't directly slap him in the face, but wanted to say, "Yue's martial arts are beyond the reach of Master Shaolin Fangzheng and Wudang Chongxu Dao Master."
As for whether it is more than enough to win Zuo Lengchan, this has to be understood by Zuo Lengchan himself.
If you are self-aware, you should know the subtext of the other party: I am aiming at whom! No one else is a spicy chicken, only you are a spicy chicken!
This kind of rhetoric is quite the opposite of "everyone here is spicy chicken".
......
That night, and the next morning's news, the interview with Gu Kun was actually disclosed to Fox TV, and then it was spread by friends who had a reprint partnership.
Gu Kun's victory and the follow-up wild words left a deep impression on the people of Oceania, and for a while, the legend about him finally began to cause heated discussions among the ordinary people of Oceania who "never cared about what happened in foreign countries".
Gu Kun's insinuation that Atlanta's infrastructure investment is too bad is also supported by Fox's manpower - there is no way, who makes real estate developers supply nuclear power.
It is the meaning of the people who suppress the investment in infrastructure, and the nuclear supply department is eager to spend money on infrastructure, and the developer contractor has money to make, and Fox fanned the flames, which can be regarded as an attack on Clinton's economic construction idea of "only information, no bricks" on the stage.
Besides, it's not Gu Kun who is an athlete who said this, the hardware of this Olympics is really too lazy, and it has embarrassed Oceania.
After two or three days, the tuyere rested for a while.
From July 17th to 19th, Gu Kun won three gold medals in the 200-meter freestyle and 100/200-meter breaststroke, increasing the number of individual gold medals to five.
When the 5 gold medals were achieved, it was a small sensation, because he has become the player with the most gold medals in this Olympic Games. However, because everyone had expected this, it made a sensation and once again exploded the hot topic of street talk, and then there was nothing.
At this point, Gu Kun's popularity is roughly similar to that of Phelps in 2004.
Phelps didn't win 6 gold medals in a row at the 2004 Athens Olympics, but Phelps has a team relay event, and the team strength has always been the strongest in the Ocean Nation team, and the Ocean team won the championship in many consecutive swimming relay races. Therefore, the real gold content of Phelps's single 6 golds will definitely not be higher than Gu Kun's current 5 golds in a single session.
Every day in the news and gold medal list, Gu Kun will be mentioned, and everyone will chat a few words, and then continue to watch the show.
Only the women, team leaders, and professional service personnel around Gu Kun are quite unfair for Gu Kun.
"I've won so many gold medals, and I haven't seen the people of Oceania getting more and more sensational, it's really a double standard. ”
This complaint was said to Gu Kun's senior sister and team leader Luo Haili, who said to him privately after Gu Kun received the fifth gold medal award on the 19th, and her words were full of grievances.
Gu Kun didn't care, got off the podium, took a bottle of pure water easily, squeezed it like drinking O'Neill's oral liquid, and then analyzed with his senior sister:
"They are too stimulated to be refractory, if I have climaxed every time I reach a new high, I would have been paralyzed a long time ago. I estimate that the general distance of the Western public in the past few days is mainly due to these reasons:
Breaststroke is the most technical of the four swimming styles, so Asians, to be precise, are stronger. Oceania, Lucia, and Germany don't have the strength to win gold in breaststroke, so they take it for granted that I won two dollars in a row.
Today and tomorrow, there will be a concentrated butterfly competition, but I didn't participate in the butterfly, which is the strength of Oceania and Australians, so no one pays attention to me. As for the freestyle, I've already won both the 50m and 100m titles, and it feels normal to win them again in the 200m. ”
(Note: "Refractory period" is the meaning of sage time, the former is a medical term, and the latter is a colloquial term.) )
Luo Haili pondered for a moment and asked by inference: "Then do you think that the backstroke that started the day after tomorrow, as well as the medley at the same time and the subsequent long-distance events, will rekindle the heated discussion of Western audiences about you?"
Gu Kun nodded: "That's pretty much it, breaststroke and butterfly should be a break for everyone." But when it came to the backstroke, before I came along, Oceania was the strongest. They have two famous players, Jeff Ross and Trump Swenk, and the original plan was to have gold and silver medals.
Both men had even been world record setters before. On this project, the people of Oceania will definitely pay crazy attention, hoping that any one of them can work miracles. ”
In addition to football, the attention of the people of a country to a certain game must have a significant relationship with the strength of the players in that sport.
It's like the Chinese people pay attention to badminton and table tennis, just because the Chinese team has killed all sides in these areas. When diving is awesome, there are more people who pay attention to diving competitions.
In the same way, in the Oceania Nation, the swimming team has always been a big gold medalist, so there is a lot of attention to the public, but they are especially concerned about the competition group in which their country has the greatest hope of winning the championship.
In the freestyle field, the ocean star Gary Hall is actually not dominating the swimming world, even without Gu Kun, Gary Hall is slightly inferior in the competition with Lucia's sworn 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 sworn enemy Lao Maozi" and subconsciously do not want to pay attention to them.
But in the field of backstroke, Lucia did not have a strong opponent this year, before Gu Kun appeared, the Ocean team wanted to wrap up the gold and silver of the 1200-meter biathlon, in their opinion, this is a civil war. Just like the Chinese team often fights in the Olympic table tennis finals.
So Gu Kun is not worried about the social attention of his showdown with Jeff Ross and Trump Swenk.
The clock of history finally turned to July 20, and the backstroke competition began.
