Chapter 141: Variety Show Invitation
Although the competition is over, Li Cai did not leave London immediately, and he still has some follow-up matters to do, such as holding a special press conference, accepting some media interviews, participating in the official publicity activities held by the year-end finals, and sponsoring companies have also prepared a brand promotion event for Li Cai to participate.
After Li Cai finished the year-end finals, he returned to China directly.
At the same time, the three major societies also commented on the finals of the year-end finals.
Reuters: Li Cai defeated the previous champion Federer with excellent tennis strength and won his first year-end finals title, defeating Federer with a score of 6:3, 6:2 in the game, which can be said to crush Federer. This also allowed Li Cai to gain 1,500 points and return to the second place in the world from the beginning, and if he continues to maintain this strength, he will reach the top of the world No. 1 in the near future.
AFP: The unrivalled Swiss did not complete the comeback after losing the first set, unfortunately losing his sixth year-end finals title, and failed to overtake Sampras and Lendl to make history.
AP: Li Cai won his first year-end finals trophy without dropping a set, and he defeated Federer 2-0 in the final, which ended Federer's streak of winning the year-end finals, and Li Cai also became the first Asian year-end finals champion, marking the rise of Asian tennis, Li Cai will set up Asian men's tennis and become a benchmark for Asian tennis.
Li Cai returned to China, and as soon as he got off the plane, he was given a grand welcome, flowers and banners were of course indispensable, and the director of the tennis center personally came to the airport to greet Li Cai.
Two hours later, the tennis center held a press conference for Li Cai, and the trophy of the year-end finals was placed in the most conspicuous position, which became the biggest highlight of the conference.
The press conference was followed by a panel discussion. Li Cai has also participated in this kind of symposium after winning the championship many times, and he has participated three times this year, but the most participants are when he won the championship in the past. The relevant leaders will symbolically attend the symposium and encourage the athletes. Then directly ask the person in charge to ask the winning player for opinions or suggestions, and the player can also raise it on the spot if he encounters difficulties or has other needs.
For example, the symposium held by the tennis center talks about some things related to competition or training, but when it comes to similar symposiums held by the local government, the champion can even make some more practical requests. For example, one year, an Olympic champion said at a local symposium that his family was living in a 40-square-meter building, and hoped that his superiors would solve the housing problem, and the local government immediately rewarded a three-bedroom apartment.
Therefore, Li Cai generally does not go to the symposiums held by the local government, his family has money, and there is nothing for them to solve.
Moreover, many local governments directly give you hundreds of thousands of cash as rewards, such as Sister Na, after returning to her hometown, the local government rewarded 600,000, which was smeared by many people on the Internet and BB everywhere.
Of course there is no shortage of 600,000 yuan, but you can't refuse what the government gives, and netizens will naturally scold, saying that all the people's money is spent on this.
Therefore, Li Cai was too lazy to go to the symposium held by the local government.
After winning the championship of the year-end finals, domestic programs inviting Li Cai to interview and interview came like snowflakes.
However, these all made Li Cai refuse, he felt that it was not interesting, he was very tired to attend so many press conferences, Li Cai was too lazy to go, he was not short of fame, and he needed to be exposed on the show, as long as he achieved good results, naturally the media would hype it up, and he didn't have to worry about it at all, and many activities would be attended too much, which would make people take advantage of loopholes and spray everywhere.
But if it's an interesting variety show, you can think about it, as for interview programs, Li Cai still forget it, I'm afraid that I will fall asleep when the time comes, which will make people feel embarrassed.
Because the year's tennis tournament is over, Li Cai has nothing to do, and the Go "Hope Cup" is still in the qualifiers.
In this year's Go "Hope Cup" competition, three of the four places were taken by the Koreans.
The Samsung Cup that ended in December was won by Korean players, while the LG Cup was won by Chinese players, which also indicates that in this year's international Go competition, Huaguo fell into the upper hand and did not surpass South Korea.
This also made the South Korean media start to be arrogant, thinking that the 50 million prize money of the "Hope Cup" was in the pocket of their Korean players, completely forgetting that when Li Cai ruled Go, they didn't dare to say anything.
It seems that Li Cai has been playing tennis for the past few years, and after achieving such good results, he has relaxed his research on Go, and his strength has dropped very much, and he is no longer the opponent of their Korean chess players.
In the two Go championships in the first half of the year, Lee Sedol and Park Yeon-heng played three games, and Lee Sedol won 2:1 and got the next round of promotion.
At the end of 11 years, the Go championship was won by South Korea's Won Sung-kyun and Hwakook's Park Wen-yao.
Although Park Wenyao is Chinese, because his grandfather has Korean ancestry, and Park Wenyao is sponsored by Korean chess players, he can continue to learn chess, which also makes the Korean media shout that Park Wenyao was trained by their South Korea, and it can be said that the "Hope Cup" is a Korean chess player.
Of course, Park Wenyao refuted the remarks of these South Korean media, and after winning the LG Cup, he issued his own statement in an interview with reporters.
Park Wen-gyu said this in the interview: "I want to make a statement, I am first and foremost a Chinese, I am a Chinese chess player, not a South Korean as some reporters wrote. ”
In this regard, Li Cai thinks that Park Wengui, a chess player, has a very correct outlook on the three aspects, which is very good! Let these clamoring Korean media listen to it, not everything is Korean, and don't think wishfully that others are Koreans, and people will not pay attention to you.
Regarding the match between Park Wengui and Won Sung-qin, Li Cai decided that as long as Park Wengui won, Li Cai would give him 1 million as a reward to subsidize his family.
Because the competition between the two has not started yet, they will have to wait until January 12, so Li Cai's decision has not been said.
After staying at home for a week, Li Cai's economic team also received an invitation to a variety show.
Li Cai was invited to participate in the show by South Korea's national variety show - Infinite Challenge.
Originally, Li Cai's economic team wanted to refuse, because they all knew that their boss was a person who didn't like to appear in the show, but Huang Tao, who was specifically responsible for managing Li Cai's appearance in the show, stopped them, and then told them that Li Cai told him.
Because Li Cai once said to Huang Tao: "If a reality show or a food show invites me, you should notify me and don't refuse immediately." ”
After hearing this, the others didn't care, anyway, Li Cai, the boss, basically had nothing to do, they followed very easily, basically there was half a year of vacation, so it was good for Li Cai to find something to do, they were all about to get sick.
So, Huang Tao hurriedly notified Li Cai and told Li Cai that a variety show invited him.
"Boss, there is a variety show that invites you to participate, it is a Korean show, do you want to refuse?"
"What a show. ”
"Infinite challenges in Korea. ”
Originally, Huang Tao informed him according to Li Cai's instructions, but he didn't hold out hope at all, thinking that Li Cai refused, because Li Cai was afraid of the cold and didn't like to go out in winter.
But unexpectedly, when Li Cai heard that it was an infinite challenge invitation, he actually agreed very happily, which made Huang Tao feel unscientific.
Although he thought it was strange, after Huang Tao knew that Li Cai agreed to appear in the Infinite Challenge, he called the Infinite Challenge personnel who contacted him, informed them that Li Cai agreed to star, and asked them to inform them of the recording time of the show.
This made Kim Tae-ho, the PD of the program who was originally hopeless, suddenly feel overjoyed.
You must know that Li Cai is now the most famous athlete in Asia, and he has not participated in variety shows, so it can be said that he is making his debut in variety shows.
Kim Tae-ho could already predict that the ratings of the show starring Lee Jae would definitely explode.
