Chapter 563: The Great God's Witchcraft
"Damn, did you see that? See that deal? It's insane!! ”
When Gu Yu and Xiao Yu walked out of the room and got into the elevator, ready to go on a shopping spree the next day, in the elevator car, some fans were already discussing the news just announced.
"I don't think it's reliable, this deal is too fast, the king just made a three-way deal, and then came again? There must be something wrong with this rumor. "Some people don't believe in the trading rumors that have gone viral on social networks around the world.
"It's going to be no problem, you, you're still a pseudo-fan! I'm telling you, if it's someone else, it's probably going to be fake news. But this time this person is not ordinary, the messages he sends are never fake, as long as he sends them, it will definitely happen! "The Emperor immediately showed his superiority.
"Who is so big? Isn't he just a reporter, and he's not an internal manager of the team, how true can his news be? ? Someone asked.
"Damn, you really don't know?? The news of the world-famous OJ god, you all question it?? ”
It turned out to be a message from OJ.
When Gu Yu heard this, he nodded silently and glanced back at Xiao Yu.
"Sure enough, it's him." Xiao Yu blinked beside Gu Yu.
Fans who follow the NBA often may not know the name of OJ, but they must have seen the various trade rumors he has made.
Before some major transactions take place, this amazing reporter can always get the news in advance from his own channels and release it in advance, causing one public opinion earthquake after another.
And the most amazing thing is that the messages he sends are almost never wrong, no matter how incredible it seems, the final result is as he said, not bad at all, which is amazing. Especially for Xiao Yu, who is mixed in the media circle, OJ is like a legend in the breaking news world, the mountains are high and out of reach.
Before, when fans watched the news and rumors, they all watched and played with an attitude of watching the excitement and half-truths. Because just like the unbeliever said before, no matter how well-informed the news reporter is, he is not a real team insider, and when he gets the news, it is all through the content of I don't know how many hands, how much is true and how much is false, whether there is oil and vinegar, they don't know.
As a journalist, I must hope that every report I write can cause a sensation. Therefore, most reporters don't really seek verification - even if they want to verify it, there is no suitable way - just send out the news and earn eyeballs first.
But OJ is not ordinary, after making a series of successful revelations, gradually, someone began to notice this amazing reporter. And OJ is also very powerful, the greater the attention, the more fierce and real his material is. Over time, the title of OJ God spread.
"Let me tell you, this OJ god, every news is faster than the official one, except for being played by Rocket manager Morey once, basically I haven't missed it! If you want to know the NBA news first-hand, just follow his account! ”
The Emperor of the Football Emperor came to be interested, all the way to the lobby, and was still excitedly talking about the glorious record of the OJ god: "He was originally a columnist for ESPN, but then he jumped to Yahoo, and then he didn't know what magic power he used, and the revelations were always fast and accurate, almost monopolizing the transaction information of senior players in the entire league." For several offseasons, the OJ god simply beat all the sports reporters in the world, breaking the news steadily and ruthlessly, and almost never missed! ”
"Is there such a god??" Someone asked.
"You go to his social accounts for yourself, every time he breaks the news, he never uses words like 'uh', 'maybe', 'maybe', 'probably'. The opening is categorical, the tone is tough, and there is absolutely no second word. Emperor Xiangqiu smiled: "This guy's classic record is a lot, I'll tell you more about it later......"
When the elevator reached the first floor, Emperor Xiangqiu was surrounded by a circle of fans, and walked out while chatting, leaving Xiao Yu and Gu Yu, two real insiders, holding back a smile and slowly walking out of the elevator.
"Speaking of which, this guy really has such a god??" Gu Yu asked Xiao Yu.
Of course, Gu Yu has also been in contact with OJ, but everyone knows Gu Yu's character, and he hardly participates in this kind of thing.
Moreover, Gu Yu's personal information is basically monopolized by Xiao Yu alone, even OJ has no way to snatch resources from Xiao Yu.
"Of course! OJ, this guy......" Xiao Yu replied: "I don't know how he did it, but he just has a way, not a good relationship with any team or something, but the news of the whole league, and he can always get it first-hand." ”
"Don't you communicate with each other? Informants or something? Gu Yu realized that he had never really cared about Xiao Yu's work, and asked curiously: "Everyone evenly distributes the right to break the news, isn't it good for one person to do this?" ”
"You think you're playing at home!" Xiao Yu stuck out his tongue and said: "Breaking the news is also a war, no weaker than your game on the field." The law of the jungle also exists in the media circle, and without good resources, you can only be a small editor and a small reporter. Only when you have your own exclusive channels and can break some fierce news from time to time can you become a celebrity. One of the most important links is the informant, no one will easily reveal their sources, that is a matter of cutting off their own financial routes! ”
"Is that exaggerated......?" Gu Yu thought for a while, and there seemed to be some vague plan in his mind, but he hadn't been able to completely grasp the essentials, but he instinctively felt that it was necessary to have a good meeting with this OJ god, and asked, "You introduce me to him, what kind of person is he?" ”
"Haha, the NBA league scoring champion, has he actually started to care about the work of our young reporters? It's rare and rare~" Xiao Yu was actually very happy in his heart, Gu Yu finally cared about himself, and happily introduced: "His full name is Adrian Wojnarowski, graduated in 91, has worked in many media, and arrived at Yahoo in 07." ”
"Usually our sources of informants are team staff, players, management and so on. And then, like ESPN, Yahoo, these national media reporters, they will also have good relations with some local media. Even the advertisers, vendors, and so on that team are working with you are one of our sources. ”
After getting into a car, Xiao Yu and Gu Yu sat up, told the driver the address, and continued.
"Together, these Tier 1 and Tier 2 sources form a unique network of relationships for each of us, covering all corners of the Alliance. Even the stadium cleaners, team security guards, and player bus drivers are our partners. Xiao Yu said: "Of course, we won't let them give news in vain, every time we break the news, we will pay a certain amount of remuneration, so as to maintain long-term cooperation." ”
"Damn, so much eyeliner??" Gu Yu really didn't expect that even the drivers of the players' buses and reporters would not let go, it seems that he will have to be a little more careful when talking on the bus in the future.
"Of course~" Xiao Yu smiled: "However, sometimes the news we get is also half-true." Because the team management has its own considerations, some news is released, and it is not really going to happen. It's about testing the reaction of the outside world, especially the opponent. Then do the follow-up operations according to the actual situation. Therefore, most of our revelations can only use words such as 'suspected', 'probably', 'or will', and can't be said to death. ”
"Giving you fake news to test the outside world? Isn't that using you as a gunman?? Gu Yu was not happy, and frowned: "These people who give fake news, you still continue to cooperate??" ”
"There's no way, the source is in their hands, we don't know if it's true or not, we can only trust them." Xiao Yu shrugged helplessly and said: "The news is fake, they told us afterwards that the boss changed his mind and killed us with a word." ”
"Tut-tut, it's really no business!" Gu Yu knew about the media breaking news circle for the first time, and it was so cruel, it was really a battlefield without gunsmoke.
"And if we really quarrel with the source, then don't think about cooperating in the future, and when there is real news, we won't tell us, but tell other people, won't we lose a lot?" Xiao Yu herself doesn't seem to care, growing up in this circle, she has long been accustomed to this kind of dark war: "We can only continue to cooperate." ”
"Is there anyone else who can compete with OJ?" Gu Yu asked.
"Now the most accurate reporters in the entire league, that is, the deepest and most extensive network, one is OJ, and the other is Mark Stern. Before Max Stern was able to share the world with OJ equally, he didn't suffer too much. But 2011 was a turning point, and that year's draft conference, OJ completely exploded. ”
When Xiao Yu talked about the situation in the media circle, his eyes were full of excitement and enthusiasm. Looking at Xiao Yu's appearance, Gu Yu felt in her heart that she had always owed Xiao Yu a little bit, she was so good to herself, except that she didn't suffer a loss, she was almost obedient, but she didn't even know how Xiao Yu's work was doing, and she didn't know who she had a good relationship with and who she had a bad relationship with, so she was a bit derelict in her duties.
Thinking like this, Gu Yu felt that he should be more concerned, and asked with concern: "In 2011?" Is it the year after my draft? What happened?? ”
"Actually, it's very simple to say, OJ preemptively reported on who more than half of the teams would ultimately choose before the draft results were announced, and all of them were correct."
Xiao Yu Zhengse said: "That is to say, watching live TV, David Stern has not yet read out the team's selection, and OJ broke the news through Twitter." If you look at his Twitter at the time, it's like you're reading a prophecy, and after reading the text, in the live screen, Stern won't go on stage for a few minutes before announcing exactly the same thing. ”
This is simply witchcraft.
