Chapter 322: Interview with China
China and the United States are separated by the vast Pacific Ocean, and even with today's technology, it would take a long time to fly over the world's largest ocean. 1357924?6810ggggggggggdIn Preti's impression, China is now a country with peace and excellent public security, but why is it always full of danger in Shang Yun's mouth?
Li Du listened to Pretti's question and smiled with satisfaction, he was very happy that Pretti had such a good impression of China. Every wanderer who is overseas will be very concerned when they hear any information about their hometown. When Li Du was wandering around the Internet, he saw that Chinese fans once said something like this: "The motherland is the one who can treasure its shortcomings, but outsiders can't say anything bad." โ
So Li Du roughly told Pretti about the reason why Shang Yun was worried, in fact, aside from historical issues, the most important thing is that as the source of martial arts, there are many martial arts factions in China, and there are more or less grievances and grievances between various factions and fists in the process of communicating and competing with each other.
Shang Yun didn't want Li Du to walk in the country as a martial arts person, because he was worried that other people who practiced martial arts would come to him for trouble, after all, although Li Du already had a middle-level kung fu of dark energy, but that was only for his physical strength and cultivation, in terms of real combat effectiveness, Li Du, who had not been in actual combat for a long time, was probably at most the level of a Ming Jin master, and if he met someone with rich experience in actual combat, a Ming Jin master could also kill Li Du!
In fact, Shang Yun's worry Li Du had already thought that he would go back this time just as a Chinese basketball player, or a basketball star, he would stay in China for more than a month, in addition to cooperating with Nike's promotional activities, that is, to visit the filming site of "The Grandmaster", and the rest of the time, he was just like an ordinary tourist, traveling in China, and he would not be involved in martial arts disputes at all.
Li Du and Pretti's first stop in China was Beijing, and Nike had already arranged for them to be taken to the hotel where they were staying as soon as they got off the plane. Yao Ming also knew that Li Du was back, but he was now training with the national men's basketball team and didn't have time to come over, and because Li Du had a conflict with others during the last time he was in the national men's basketball team's training camp, Yao Ming did not invite Li Du to the training camp again.
It just so happened that Li Du didn't want to go to those places, so he was finally able to take a break, and the first stop was Beijing, he hoped to take Preti to visit the capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties, visit the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, climb the Great Wall, and visit the antique market, which is what Li Du wants.
However, all this needs to wait until his affairs in Beijing are completed, Nike has already arranged Li Du's itinerary, and at the same time, Li Du's reporter friend Yang Yijia on CCTV has already arranged through Nike, ready to do an exclusive interview with Li Du again.
Yang Yijia can be said to be the first domestic reporter to pay attention to Li Du, and the last time he went to the United States to do an exclusive interview for Li Du, the two formed a deep friendship. Since he wanted to do an exclusive interview, Li Du even agreed.
After a day off, Li Du and Pretti met Yang Yijia in the CCTV building on the third day, led by Nike staff.
Li Du hugged Yang Yijia warmly, calculating the time, the two of them haven't seen each other for more than two years, and they have been through the Internet and phone for the past two years.
After sitting down, Yang Yijia did not record the show as soon as he came up, but chatted with Li Du first: "Xiao Du, we haven't seen each other for two years, and you have been in the NBA for the past two years!" Terrific! โ
Li Du smiled lightly and said: "What is calling for wind and rain, it's not that I'm forced to be helpless, only the better I perform on the field, the more money I can make." Brother Yang, I have to thank you, I have read all the articles you wrote about me, I can have the current popularity in China, it is all because of your and CCTV's help! โ
"I'm also here to make money, you set off a whirlwind in China in the NBA, I can't report on you if I don't want to!" Yang Yijia laughed, he and Li Du were very familiar, and they spoke very casually to each other. While chatting, Yang Yijia also said hello to Pritty, "Pretti, you are getting more and more beautiful!" Li Du, this kid is really blessed! โ
Pretti has been learning Chinese since she fell in love with Li Du, and after four years, her Chinese has also made great progress, and with Li Du by her side, her pronunciation is very standard: "Thank you, Brother Yang, Li Du is nagging you in the hotel, saying that you are his best friend among domestic journalists." โ
When they were chatting, the CCTV staff set up the equipment very skillfully and made a gesture to Yang Yijia, indicating that they could start. So Yang Yijia officially asked Li Du questions, and what questions he wanted to ask had already been written, which were all questions that Chinese fans were very concerned about, and they were also questions that Li Du was willing to answer.
Yang Yijia asked: "Li Du, welcome back to China again, first of all, congratulations to you and Yao Ming for leading the Warriors to win last season's championship." At the championship award ceremony, you finally said a poem by Li Bai in Chinese, what do you want to express? โ
Li Du replied with a smile: "I like Li Bai's poems very much, and the sentence I said, 'There will be a time to ride the wind and waves, and go straight to the clouds and sail to the sea' is to say that I will continue to work hard and win more championships with Brother Yao!" Another reason for saying this in Chinese and quoting ancient poetry is that I hope that more people in the world will understand our Chinese culture and like our culture. โ
Speaking of Chinese culture, Yang Yijia immediately asked: "I remember in the last interview you said that although you grew up in the United States, you first received traditional cultural education, right?" โ
Li Du nodded, "My parents died when I was very young, and it was the master who raised me, and when I was very young, the master began to teach me from the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", and "Thousand Character Text". โ
In addition to basketball, the question of this interview is Li Du's promotion of Chinese culture, which he and CCTV have long discussed. Li Du hopes to spread traditional culture through CCTV as a national-level media, and CCTV needs Li Du, a world-renowned Chinese American, to promote and promote, and the two naturally hit it off.
It wasn't until the end of the interview that Yang Yijia asked about Li Du's trip back to China this time, which was not a question discussed between CCTV and Li Du, but what he wanted to ask himself, and also asked on behalf of the fans. Unexpectedly, Li Du's answer set off another tourism boom in China!
