Chapter VI: The Explosion of Public Opinion

Luo Tianrui finally got his wish and successfully interviewed the unnamed member of the Tsinghua University basketball team who was left alone in the stadium.

Luo Tianrui hurriedly found a hotel, fought until the early hours of the morning, and finally knocked out a press release that he thought would definitely break the point. It's just that the manuscript is written, and suddenly there is nowhere to send it. The manuscript he used to write in Chicago was handed over directly to the international news editor, and now it is not appropriate to give it to him. Leave it to the editor on duty, but I don't know who's on duty. If it is simply sent to the newspaper's mailbox, I am afraid that it will be drowned in a huge number of submissions, delaying the timeliness of this news.

Finally he figured out what to do. Recently, the headquarters assigned him a new boss and gave him contact information, asking him to report directly to this person when he returned to China. Then he gritted his teeth and dialed his boss's number.

Fortunately, everyone does this, and the phone is kept on 24 hours a day, so as not to be able to contact in case of emergency. The phone was dialed, but there was no answer after a busy tone.

Luo Tianrui guessed that the boss might be sleeping, after all, it was more than 1 o'clock in the morning. It stands to reason that he shouldn't bother people at this time, let alone a new boss. It's like death.

But he can't manage so much, there is such a big thing, there is no news report in China, which is obviously unreasonable. But this is obviously the best opportunity God has given him, as long as this thing is handled well, the benefits will definitely be indispensable in the future.

The call finally came through!

"Hello!"

Luo Tianrui could clearly feel the voice coming from the phone, suppressing his anger. After all, when you are woken up by a phone call in the middle of the night, no one will be happy to answer the phone.

"Brother Song, I'm Xiao Luo, do you remember me? When I came to our Pioneer for an internship, you took me with you. "Coincidentally, the boss assigned by the headquarters to Luo Tianrui this time, and it happened to be someone he knew, named Song Wenbo, who was quite a kind person. When Luo Tianrui came to "Basketball Herald" for an internship, he had a good relationship with him. It's just that when I went abroad, the contact gradually decreased.

"Hmm!"

Unexpectedly, a cold nasal voice came from the other side of the phone.

Luo Tianrui's heart was half cold, this is his future boss, he actually offended him so quickly?

But Brother Song is usually such a good person, why is he so angry today? It seems that I made this call at the wrong time.

"Brother Song, I found a big news today, and it's definitely funny. I'll send you an email later, you can polish my manuscript and send it out. ”

Luo Tianrui stubbornly finished speaking.

Then the other party hung up the phone.

I rub ...... Luo Tianrui's heart exploded instantly. What's going on?! I didn't go to the headquarters to report, but I offended my boss, and the job was lost!!

The phone suddenly shook and received a text message. Luo Tianrui clicked on it without thinking about it, and the content of the message was an email address, and there was nothing else.

Could it be Brother Song's mailbox?

Luo Tianrui didn't have the heart to think about it, it was like a drowning man grabbing a little life-saving straw, this was his only hope......

Song Wenbo turned on the lamp next to the bed, took out a cigarette and lit it, and took a deep breath, the feeling of the cigarette penetrating into his heart could make him feel clear. After a while, the whole room was filled with the smell of smoke.

Because he was born as a journalist, there is always no clear demarcation line between work and rest, and his wife has long been unable to stand his irregular schedule and wants to sleep in a separate room with him. Song Wenbo had no choice but to agree.

It's not that his wife can't stand him smoking, but she can't stand being woken up by his phone ringing in the middle of the night. Just like it is now. Song Wenbo was once again woken up by his own phone.

It was actually Xiao Luo calling.

He still has an impression of Luo Tianrui, being able to be resident in the United States, ordinary reporters can't do it, so he can be regarded as the elite of "Basketball Herald".

But even if you're an elite journalist, you can't call me in the middle of the night to wake me up, can you?

Coupled with the recent overtime, I was finally able to take a good rest, and it turned out to be such a thing. Even Song Wenbo, a good old man who is usually extremely kind, is angry!

So he also seems to speak very impulsively, which is very rare in normal times. However, after listening to the explanation on the other side, he also decided to look at his manuscript before speaking, and then sent his own private email to the other party.

After waiting for two minutes, the computer prompted that there was a newly received email. Song Bowen strengthened his spirits, ready to see what a big news event could wake him up in the middle of the night.

He downloaded the email attachment with ease.,It's an unnamed compressed package.,After opening it.,Don't care about those pictures.,Open the unnamed word document at the top.。

As soon as he opened it, he was frightened by the title.

"Shocking: China's No. 1 College Student Goes to the United States to Participate in the NBA Draft"

Good guys, this is a headline party! The first impression of this manuscript on Song Bowen was not good, but in terms of professional habits and morality, he patiently looked down.

The next content of the manuscript first briefly introduced Yi Feng, last season's MVP, average data per game or something, and then inserted a few pictures. I'll take it, I can't bear it, there is a picture and a watermark of other media!

Song Bowen almost didn't smash the mouse on the spot, and only relieved himself after lighting a cigarette. At the same time, he secretly decided that if this Luo Tianrui's manuscript was still so messy, then he would be ruthless.

Continue to look down, and another character actually appeared, Zhou Mu! Of course he knew who Zhou Mu was!

Song Bowen's scrolling speed slowed down, and the corners of his mouth gradually smiled. After reading the draft, he immediately edited the draft, and then contacted Su Qun, the boss of the newspaper, to prepare a special issue of the draft......

When Luo Tianrui, who was nervous, received Song Bowen's call, it was already 3 o'clock in the morning. On the phone, he said that Luo Tianrui had done a good job, with promotions and salary increases. Luo Tianrui can finally go to sleep with peace of mind, but he doesn't know how much impact the news he wrote has had on the Chinese basketball world, the Chinese sports world, and even Chinese society after it came out.

With the fermentation of time, Yi Feng's secret trip to the United States to participate in the draft is finally no longer a secret known to a few dozen people.

On May 10, 2015, the "Basketball Herald" launched a special issue.

The Basketball Herald? Draft Special Issue: "Shocking: China's No. 1 College Student Goes to the United States to Participate in the NBA Draft"

The cover of the special issue is a handsome photo of Yi Feng, and there are some text guides. The special issue is divided into three parts, the first part introduces the life of Yi Feng, the second part introduces some information about the NBA draft, and the third part has the most content and is the main content of the special issue.

The main body of the third part is the press release that Luo Tianrui worked hard to write, and of course, some minor changes that are irrelevant to the editor. This part uses extremely delicate brushstrokes to write Yi Feng in the situation of CUBA being alone and seeking defeat, and then Yi Feng and Zhou Mu's handshake is written as a young man with dreams and a predecessor who is full of honor to create brilliance together. Attached is a biography of Zhou Mu, which highlights his importance to the "Yao Team". In the end, it was boldly envisaged that Yi Feng's talent and Zhou Mu's operation could successfully create history.

"Basketball Herald", a media with huge appeal in the domestic basketball world, took the lead in exposing this explosive news, which immediately caused a sensation in the industry.

On weekdays, these media have been paying attention to Yi Feng and the Tsinghua basketball team, after all, this is the "new hope" of Chinese basketball, but there is no news about him going to be drafted. Where did this news from the Basketball Herald come from?

However, the doubts in their hearts should be put aside for the time being, and such exciting news will have to be transferred to another word. As a result, many media rushed to reprint it.

Some media also added some of their own original content to describe Zhou Mu's life very clearly, when the "little giant" Yao Ming signed a contract with the Houston Rockets, when Yao Ming signed an endorsement contract with Reebok, there was Zhou Mu's shadow in many aspects of the operation of the "Yao Team" behind Yao Ming. And the reason why these media introduced Zhou Mu so clearly is to highlight the explosiveness of the topic of Yi Feng going to the United States to participate in the NBA draft.

In today's online age, information travels at unimaginably fast speeds. Yi Feng's trip to the United States to participate in the draft was like a depth charge dropped on a fishpond, and Chinese society was instantly alarmed.

People's Daily Online: "Can CUBA's Most Valuable Player show his Chinese style in the United States?" ”

Xinhuanet: "Chinese teenager Kai made history and became the first college player to participate in the draft"

These two media outlets are more credible, and the news language they launch is quite restrained. But the rest of the media doesn't care so much --

Tencent News: "China's New Hope, Glory to America!" ”

Sohu News: "Yi Feng crossed the ocean alone and killed the Quartet to create a hegemony!" ”

Some of the media who lost their temperament shouted: "God didn't wear No. 23 again this time, he became a Tsinghua ace!" ”

Weibo, WeChat Moments, etc. have already been swiped by this news, even if you never know who Yi Feng is, and you have never paid attention to basketball, you can now tell your friends: Yi Feng won the championship and MVP in his freshman year, so powerful......

In just one day, "Who is Yi Feng?" This question squeezed into the top ten of Baidu's search list, and Yi Feng also ranked 7th on Baidu's list of today's hot people.

Public opinion exploded in an instant!

It can be said that on May 10, everyone was talking about Yi Feng, talking about him, and guessing whether he could be selected by the NBA. Of course, most of the people involved in this topic are basketball fans, and they are male fans.

And the vast majority of women who pay attention to this news are not for basketball, they are for Yi Feng's person. In his face, to be exact. After knowing that Yi Feng was so handsome, passers-by decisively turned to fans.

"Wow! I didn't expect him to play basketball well and look so handsome! ”

"yes, look at how sunny he is, how manly!"

"Tsk, this body, this muscle...... Hey, what's wrong with my drooling? ”

Such intimate words are more common among women. According to incomplete statistics, the breakup rate of couples on this day skyrocketed, and most of the breakup performances were for men to be dumped, and the reasons for breaking up were mostly the same: you see that you are not as handsome as Yi Feng, and you are not handsome as Yi Feng, and you can't play basketball, you still dare to make your mother angry? Parted!!
