Chapter 19: Negative News
"Champion? You mean champions? The female reporter opened her mouth to confirm, as if she was doubting her ears.
Zhang Guan nodded: "Of course, I came to participate in the competition to win the championship." ”
The female reporter might not be surprised if Japan's Shingo Sue answered like this, but Zhang Guan's statement surprised the female reporter, and Gen thought that the young man in front of her didn't know how thick the sky was.
"It's so arrogant, does he think he can beat the Japanese player?" A hint of contempt flashed in the female reporter's eyes.
Although Singapore is located in Asia, Singaporeans look down on other Asian countries other than Japan, especially China, and although they are of the same species, Singaporeans' anti-China sentiment is similar to that of the Philippines.
The Singaporean female reporter still had Singapore's arrogance and contempt for the Chinese in her bones, and he was very dismissive of Zhang Guan's answer, only listening to her say: "The Japanese runners have always been in the first position in Asia in the sprint event, so do you think you can beat the Japanese runners?" ”
If you're experienced in dealing with the media, you'll be able to tell that a female journalist is deliberately setting a trap in the question, and that's exactly what happened. Originally, she prepared to ask "whether she has confidence in defeating the Japanese player", but when she heard Zhang Guan's announcement of winning the championship, she deliberately changed the question and increased the direction of the question.
"I can, my goal is to be the champion." Zhang Guan didn't realize that the female reporter had dug a hole for herself.
The female reporter got a very satisfactory answer, but she felt that it was not enough, so she continued to ask: "The current Asian 100-meter record is 10 seconds of Japan's Koji Ito, you just said that you want to defeat the Japanese player, do you think you can catch up with the record of Japan's Koji Ito at the Asian Athletics Championships, or even surpass Koji Ito and run in 10 seconds?" ”
This is also a question with a trap, and the question that the female reporter originally prepared was "Is there any information to break the Asian record of 10 seconds held by Koji Ito", but she changed her mind at the same time, which not only increased the direction of the question, but also limited the time for this Asian Athletics Championships.
The female reporter particularly emphasized the words "Japanese player" in the question, the purpose of which was of course to make Zhang Guan look ugly. Zhang Guan has just said that he wants to defeat the Japanese player, and if Zhang Guan can't answer, it will be an inconsistent answer.
The female reporter looked at Zhang Guan with a smug face, ready to admire Zhang Guan's embarrassed appearance, but she saw Zhang Guan's determined expression.
"I have to break the Asian record!" Zhang Guan said.
For Zhang Guan, breaking the Asian record is not just about honor, but also about completing the task of the system.
Hearing Zhang Guan's answer, the female reporter looked at Zhang Guan in surprise, but then there was a wave of contempt in her eyes.
"Just because you want to break the Asian record too? You deserve to break the world record! Ignorant and backward Chinese," the female reporter thought to herself, but she did not show it in her expression.
"Thank you for your time." The female reporter smiled politely, she knew that there was a lot to be done in this interview, and which anti-China media would definitely like it.
……
Every evening, the Tournament Organising Committee will release some information to the media and the public, including the results of the day's races, information about the next day's races, and interviews with some athletes. The release method is mainly in the form of the official Di Bao, there is a thick copy every day, each team can get a copy, and reporters from various countries who have registered with the organizing committee before the game can also get a copy, if ordinary people want to get this Di Bao, they can only spend money to buy it.
The Manila Times is a general newspaper with a large circulation in the Philippines. At this moment, the editor-in-chief Raymond is flipping through the official newspaper of the Asian Athletics Championships that has just been delivered.
"Even though the competition was held in the Philippines, we couldn't even get a medal." Raymond flipped through the sad event information section and began to read the athlete interviews that followed, and it wasn't long before the interview about Zhang Guan caught Raymond's attention.
"This Chinese is really ashamed to say that he wants to win the 100-meter championship! Amusing! He thought he would be able to defeat the Japanese? Raymond continued to look down, his eyes finally stopping at the last word.
"Breaking the Asian record?" Raymond, who has a wealth of media experience, instantly formed an attractive headline in his head. Then he picked up a pen and wrote this title on scratch paper:
"Chinese athletes threatened: Breaking the 100-meter Asian record in the Asian Athletics Championships! 》
Raymond personally wrote a report, especially emphasizing Zhang Guan's "record-breaking", with all kinds of sarcasm and language belittling and smearing of Zhang Guan and the entire Chinese team, and the final conclusion is nothing more than telling readers that Zhang Guan is an arrogant and dishonest athlete.
In the Philippines, the media can't talk about any discipline at all, and Xiang Raymond is very skillful in grasping one or two words to confuse the public. Moreover, the Philippines has always been the anti-China vanguard in Southeast Asia, and it is very keen on reporting on China's negativity, seizing every opportunity to smear it. And the more this type of report, the more popular it is with Filipino readers, and the Western media also likes to reprint such reports, so this kind of report is still very helpful for the sales of the newspaper and the popularity of the newspaper.
This is not the only newspaper in the Philippines that has no discipline, and there are also many people who have no discipline than Raymond, and the Asian Athletics Championships is dull because of the absence of many big names, and the media need a focus to attract readers.
……
Director Ma has always had the habit of eating breakfast while reading the newspaper, so early in the morning, he found a corner in the hotel's cafeteria and opened the newspaper in his hand.
Newspapers in the Philippines are mainly in English, and there are also a few Chinese newspapers, which are mainly distributed to Chinese in the Philippines. Director Ma was not interested in Chinese newspapers, so he directly opened the English newspaper, and a moment later, a headline attracted Director Ma's attention.
"Is it arrogance or strength - China's 100-meter warrior will issue a declaration of victory"
Director Ma followed the text to read on, the theme was to report on Zhang Guan's interview, and then listed the past achievements of the Japanese team, and then compared the gap between China and Japan in the men's 100-meter sprint, and finally came to a conclusion, that is, Zhang Guan's championship announcement was completely an arrogant joke.
Director Ma shook his head disdainfully, he often leads the national track and field team to compete in various countries, and often sees negative reports from foreign media, so he doesn't care about this report.
"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, young people, they should have some fighting spirit. A championship declaration can be hacked like this. Director Ma said to himself.
The first newspaper's very unobjective report made Director Ma feel that this newspaper had no point in reading, so he put this newspaper aside and opened the second newspaper.
"The Fantasy of Chinese Athletes: Breaking the Asian Record in the 100 Meters"
"Zhang Guan again?" Director Ma continued to look down, this report is similar to the previous one, directly comparing Zhang Guan with the current Asian 100-meter record holder Koji Ito, and the final conclusion is that Zhang Guan's breaking the 100-meter world record is just an illusion.
"Huh, fantasy? The Asian record in the 110m hurdles has been broken by us, and the 100m record is only a matter of time. Director Ma thought to himself in his heart, although the confidence is not so sufficient, but there is still confidence.
Director Ma disdainfully put down the newspaper and picked up the third one.
"Chinese athletes threatened: Breaking the 100-meter Asian record in the Asian Athletics Championships! 》
"What is this?" Director Ma quickly read the entire report and put down the newspaper.
"Young man, I guess I was designed by a reporter, right? Especially in foreign countries, you can't talk nonsense, do you want to give him this string tightly? Let him pay attention. Ma Gui lowered his head and thought.
Then he thought that this was Zhang Guan's first time participating in an international event, and because he was busy with 4 x 100 meters of training, he had never participated in training at all, and he couldn't speak, so Zhang Guan couldn't be blamed for this matter.
"When I return home, I have to let him participate in training for interviews. However, Zhang Guan is going to participate in the 4 x 100 meters preliminaries this morning, and he will run the 100 meters semifinals in the afternoon. Thinking of this, Director Ma folded up a few newspapers and put them in his bag.
……
At the same time, in the hotel where the Japanese team was staying, Kobayashi Keikazu handed the same newspaper to Susumu Takano, and at the same time said, "Takano-kun, please take a look at this news report. ”
Takano Jin respectfully read the results of the newspaper, read it carefully, and after a while, he raised his head and said: "Coach, although I also think that Zhang Guan is impossible to break the Asian record, it is undeniable that Zhang Guan is a very powerful player, and the Filipino's low competitive level is not qualified to criticize Zhang Guan at all. It is immoral for them to use such means to discredit and discredit a powerful athlete. ”
Japanese culture has always believed in the strong, and at the same time the weak are even more contemptuous, in Gao Yejin's view, the Philippines is obviously despised by the weak in a country with a scumbag level of sports, Zhang Guan can run within 10.10 seconds should be considered a strong, at least to be respected, and a weak person in the Philippines to shamelessly smear the strong, is obviously an immoral behavior.
"Takano-kun, this is not Japan, this is the Philippines." Kobayashi Keiwa smiled: "Do you think that these Filipinos are a moral people?" ”
Kobayashi Keiwa said and threw some other newspapers to Takano Shin, and continued: "You see, almost all the media are in the same direction, the Chinese are very good-looking, I think that Zhang Guan is in trouble this time." ”
