Zhang Yifei rested in Uncle Lu's house for a night, and contacted the person in charge of Huaxia Petrochemical and Puma, asking them to quickly prepare for various shooting work.

After all, compared with other drivers, Zhang Yifei is very unfamiliar with the track, and during the winter break, he can only use the simulator to try to familiarize himself with the front track, such as the Albert Park Circuit, Sepang Circuit and so on.

The further he goes to the track, the less time Zhang Yifei has to practice, so he needs to use the free time of the two races to get as familiar with the track conditions as possible. Otherwise, it will be completely insufficient to rely on three practice matches to get acquainted.

The next morning, Uncle Lu drove a Ford Mustang and returned to Guangshen City with Zhang Yifei. As soon as I passed the customs, I saw that the person in charge of PUMA China was already waiting, and it can be said that the reception specifications and etiquette were very high.

However, this is not a very surprising thing, because Puma is now in the Greater China region, and it has only been less than a year since it entered, and compared with Nike and Adi, it can only be regarded as a younger brother. They urgently needed a well-known spokesperson to help Puma open the brand.

And Zhang Yifei, who just won the third place in the Malaysian Grand Prix, can be described as popular in the Greater China region. Zhang Yifei at this moment is comparable to the popularity of Yao Ming in 2002, when he was selected as the champion by the NBA.

Even in terms of influence, Zhang Yifei surpasses Yao Ming, because F1 in this era is really at the peak of the peak, which can be called the heyday.

So by the way, the brand value and social influence of F1 drivers have also been improved.

Not to mention that in addition to being an F1 driver, Zhang Yifei is also a breakthrough in Chinese motorsports. And Formula 1 is not a simple sport, it is the product of the highest technology in the automotive industry, and represents the direction of the future.

All kinds of factors are superimposed, and it is not surprising that Zhang Yifei was given a high-standard reception.

Because he knew that Zhang Yifei's time was relatively tight, after a simple greeting, Puma directly took Zhang Yifei to the scene of the Yangcheng press conference. Even the costume change and makeup are done in the RV.

At the Yangcheng Puma brand press conference, major domestic media have been gathered. Because this is Zhang Yifei's debut in front of the domestic media after he became "popular".

And in addition to these media reporters, there were many fanatical fans who came to the press conference and wanted to get close to Zhang Yifei.

The reason why Zhang Yifei is so popular in China, in addition to his own breakthroughs in performance, is his external image, that kind of tough and bloody attitude, which makes many people worship and go crazy.

After all, many athletes before Zhang Yifei were basically the same kind of modest, low-key, motivated, and hard-working, just like carved out of the mold.

That's not to say that the image is bad, or that there's anything wrong with being humble and low-key. But when everyone doesn't have their own personality, the attraction naturally decreases greatly, because everyone is the same, how do you show your own specialness?

But Zhang Yifei is different, he is radical, arrogant, whoever dares to provoke will do it, and he will fight on the grudge track, even if it is a crash.

It can even be said that in front of the media, Zhang Yifei does not look like a "standard good driver" at all, but exposes many of his shortcomings.

But it is precisely this that makes Zhang Yifei seem very down-to-earth, and the driver is also a person. Even if he is as strong as Senna, he will be angry and irritable! Zhang Yifei's performance, on the contrary, put his true self in front of everyone, my personality is like this, how can I love it!

It is this kind of character that has made many domestic audiences see another kind of athlete, igniting the enthusiasm for speed and passion in their hearts, which is why they are so fanatical.

The venue that could only accommodate 1,000 people at the press conference had already arrived with 3,000 people before it started, causing the organizers to have to limit the capacity. And there are many supporters of Zhang Yifei, who are constantly coming from all directions, which is enough to see Zhang Yifei's current influence.

Zhang Yifei, who was sitting in the car, looked at the fans who could not enter the press conference because of the number of people who could not enter the venue, and he was a little secretly speechless.

Because compared to the last time I returned to China, the scene I saw this time is really too exaggerated. Even Zhang Yifei himself couldn't believe it, it turned out that it was already so hot in China, and there were so many fans and supporters.

Entering the backstage from the VIP channel, Zhang Yifei simply tidied up his clothes, and then followed Puma China to the person in charge and walked to the press table together.

It is from this moment that Puma will officially announce that Zhang Yifei will become their spokesperson in Greater China.

As soon as he walked out of the passage, Zhang Yifei was so flashed by the flashing lights in front of him that it was daylight, and he couldn't open his eyes. At least there were no less than 100 reporters in the front film, who were frantically shooting towards Zhang Yifei, as if the emperor superstar was on stage at this moment.

At the same time, a frenzied shout sounded below.

"Zhang Yifei~~! Zhang Yifei~~! Zhang Yifei~~! ”

"The performance in Malaysia is fantastic, you show me what is called Chinese speed!"

"Che Shenfei, come on in Brazil!"

"We must win the championship in the next stop!"

At the beginning, it was still a relatively normal cheering sound, and then various female fans began to scream.

"Zhang Yifei, I love you~!"

"Hurry up and marry me, I'm going to give you a baby!"

"Zhang Yifei is mine, no one can rob it!"

"Fei, who the hell is that ghost girl in the pit, she doesn't deserve you!"

Hearing the screams of these female fans, Zhang Yifei felt that he was in the "rice circle" of the future life, but he didn't expect that in this era, it would have been staged in advance.

Once upon a time, I envied Kimi Raikkonen for having a lot of female fans, and now I look at it, I really have a lot of female fans, and sure enough, it's because I'm so handsome!

"Thank you for your support, let's keep a low profile, after all, I'm not very modest."

When Zhang Yifei said this, the scene burst into laughter, and then the noisy situation quieted down a lot.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the person in charge of PUMA Greater China began to introduce PUMA and the upcoming products.

Finally, it began to loudly announce that Zhang Yifei would become the spokesperson of PUMA Greater China, and PUMA would sponsor Zhang Yifei.

Although the contract had already been signed for this news, it still triggered a new round of screams from the audience.

At the end of the brand conference, it was the reporter's question time, and the media at the scene couldn't wait to send their own questions to Zhang Yifei.

"Hello Yifei, I am a reporter from Yangcheng Evening News, first of all, congratulations on winning the third place in the Malaysian Grand Prix, what do you think of your performance?"

"Middle-upper, if you play a little better, you have a chance to win the runner-up."

When this sentence was said, cheers rang out from the audience again, and only Zhang Yifei's answer would be so straightforward.

"Mr. Zhang Yifei, I am the editor-in-chief of Sports magazine, I want to know what you think about the historic breakthrough of Chinese racing?"

"First of all, of course, I am very happy to be a pioneer, and secondly, I feel that my results are not good enough, and there will be greater breakthroughs in Chinese racing."

"Hello Zhang Yifei, I am a special correspondent of China News Service. I'm sure many people know about your professional resume, so we're curious, how can you still play so well without being exposed to rain wars? ”

Hearing this question, Zhang Yifei picked up the microphone and looked at the reporter who asked the question and said: "This question was asked by a foreign reporter after the game, and my answer at the time was talent. ”

"Yes, I really haven't trained much in the rain battles, but there is no foundation in the history of F1, but there are many excellent presentations in the rain battles, do you have any doubts about how well I played?"

"In terms of racing, foreigners are not as talented as we are, and the F1 paddock is not their playground. So I want to emphasize that don't underestimate the ability of Chinese drivers, as long as there is an opportunity, I believe that there will be more Chinese drivers who will shock the world! ”

This is also Zhang Yifei's heart, he doesn't think that in motorsports, there is any difference in race.

China's temporary backwardness is due to economic factors, other people's automobile industry has been developing for a hundred years, China's civilian market driving, the real calculation is still about 2,000 years, how to compare more than ten years with other people's 100 years of automobile history?

You can't run for the time being, but you can't lose in momentum, and you can't be arrogant. There must be a belief in my heart, that is, Chinese drivers will eventually have the day to challenge the world.

After all, there are only two countries in this world, China and foreign countries.

When Zhang Yifei's voice fell, a reporter who spoke more eloquently asked: "Mr. Zhang Yifei, in the Malaysian Grand Prix, you had a conflict with Malay driver Yoong Long, and in the post-race interview, you also provoked Ferrari's Barrichello. ”

"Have you considered the international impact, will it cause dissatisfaction among the audience in other countries?"

"Are you making me laugh?"

After Zhang Yifei heard it, he didn't care about so many reporters at the scene, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face.

"You have to understand that competitive sports are winners and losers, and I won justifiably without breaking the rules. What does it mean to have conflict? Can't you win a game at someone else's home stadium? ”

"In the post-match interview with Barrichello, I don't think I was provocative, am I right to say that my technical strength is not good, and I don't exceed Barrichello's confidence?"

"I don't even dare to say anything about surpassing my opponents, so what am I still doing in the F1 paddock, am I going to accompany running, traveling, and purchasing? Please remember, I am a professional F1 driver, and it is my code of practice to defeat my opponents! ”

"In the end, what is the international influence, this set of foreign adults will not work with me, I am not afraid of the impact, what are you afraid of?"

When Zhang Yifei's last sentence came out, the audience burst into thunderous applause, this is the "arrogant" image in their hearts, representing the bloody nature of Chinese drivers!
