Chapter 157: The Confusion of a French Friend
Duke advanced to the final with the first place in the 100 butterfly semi-finals, while another Chinese player, Shi Fei, ranked 10th and failed to qualify for the final.
The 200 semi-finals began, and after the two women's 200 semi-finals, Douc will play again and will compete in the first semi-finals of the men's 200 breast, 25 minutes after the end of the 100 butterfly semi-finals, and Du Ke will rely on three dolphin turns to complete the 200 semi-finals.
The South African frog king Van der Berg did not sign up for the 200 frog event, and his strength was the 50 and 100 frogs.
After last night's 50 breaststroke final, the clash between Duke and Vanderbergh was captured by reporters on the spot.
The Chinese reporters were a little depressed, whoever hit Duke in the face was equivalent to hitting them in the face, Vanderberg was really dragging this guy, and the Chinese reporters were very hopeful that Duke would fight back in the 100 breaststroke final.
European and American reporters are happy, to be honest, in the past, except for the African media and the Dutch media, the mainstream media in Europe and the United States did not like the South African frog king with a flamboyant personality, provocative everywhere, and a keen to beat his legs in violation of the law. But now, the mainstream media in Europe and the United States have begun to support Vanderbergh in the breaststroke event, Van der Bergh's personality is very annoying, but the Chinese Du Ke makes them find it more difficult.
There is only one exception to this in European media, which is an online media outlet, which is actually a website.
This is an English video website,The website is called GBGcom,The video content is all sports,There are live broadcasts、There are videos,The sports involved are football、Basketball、Tennis、F1、Snooker、Track and field、Boxing、Horse racing,But you can name the sports,Almost all related videos can be found on this GBG website,More and less difference。
Even triathlons, squash, wingsuit flying, slalom, darts, surfing and other sports that can be called unpopular in the country, including some extreme sports, you can find the latest important game videos on this video site.
You can even find videos of Dota matches, which are categorized into the esports section of the site, where a Dota match of the European ESL League is being streamed.
In the Swimming/Aquatics section, GBG is broadcasting a swimming competition live from the men's 200 breaststroke semi-finals at the 2013 World Swimming Championships in Barcelona.
The commentator of the match is called David Reno, a Frenchman of German descent who is fluent in French, German, English, Spanish, Italian and other Chinese, and is commenting on the men's 200 breaststroke semifinals in English.
Reno was a guest commentator on Canal+ in France two days ago, but yesterday morning, he was suddenly fired by Canal+ on the grounds that "you have made a lot of stupid remarks, so you will be responsible for your stupid actions".
Reno didn't actually say anything groundless, he just nicknamed a Chinese swimmer "Duke of China", and expressed his appreciation for the Duke in the commentary. In addition, it is not a big secret that there was widespread doping in athletes in the European and American sports circles more than ten years ago, and many European and American athletes themselves admit to the fact that they have taken doping.
All in all, Reno was fired after only two days of working for Canal+, and his "notoriety" has spread in European and American media circles, and none of the European and American media continue to hire Reno as a commentator for the World Swimming Championships, and they are worried that Reno will not be able to control his mouth and will make some stupid remarks again.
Except for this GBG video site.
GBG's officials have paid a salary advance to Reno, who will be the GBG Swimmers World Championships until August 4.
The head of the GBG told Reno: "You can explain it however you like, Europe is a place of freedom of speech, and we give you the right to true freedom, not the hypocritical freedom that they have." You can continue to support the Chinese duke, and you can also talk about the news of doping in European and American players. Happy working together, let's get to work. ”
As a European media outlet, Reno was a little surprised by GBG's alternative attitude, but the salary he was paid was more than twice that of Canal+! And GBG also doesn't restrict Reno's right to speak, which makes Reno feel truly respected.
As a result, Reno continued his commentary career in his new work unit and in the same position.
"The semi-finals of the first group of the men's 200 breaststroke at the 15th World Swimming Championships began, and in the first 50 meters, the leader was Britain's Willis, followed by Finland's Mattsen and the Duke of China."
"Turned around, the Duke of China grabbed the first place! It seems that the back-to-back matches have not caused his form to slip down. ”
"Oh! Willis pursues strongly, he has caught up with the Duke of China! ”
After turning around for the second time, the Duke led the way again! The Chinese's turning technique is so beautiful, comparable to Rocht! ”
"The English gentleman does not seem to be willing to lose to the Chinese duke, he swims very fast and catches up with the Chinese duke again!"
"The last time he turned around, the Duke of China left Willis behind him again, he simply didn't have to swim, he could defeat his opponent by turning around!"
"Duke of China, he won the first place in the group with a time of 2:08.51, which is a very good result, which is enough to ensure that he will advance to the final in the top three places! Du ~~ Ke! The Duke of China, he continues his amazing performances, and I expect that his promise of 7 gold will be fulfilled in three days. Maybe he's more than halfway through tonight's two finals, and who knows, God will always surprise us inadvertently. ”
Reno explained very high, Duke behaved very well, as a Frenchman, Reno hi like a Chinese.
Reno was also in the live media broadcast area of the San Hoddy Aquatics Center, when a man came into Reno's commentary room, and this man had a traditional oriental face.
The Oriental man patted Reno on the shoulder and motioned for Reno to take off the headphones and had something to say.
Reno took off his headphones and politely said to the Oriental man in English, "Mr. Li, is there anything wrong?" ”
Mr. Li has an oriental face, but he speaks fluent and pure London English: "There is no need to explain the second breaststroke semi-final, you come out with me." With that, he walked out of Reno's workshop.
This Mr. Li is not tall, about 1.75 meters, about forty years old, and looks very capable.
Reno has this Mr. Lee's business card, Mr. Lee's business card is in English, and the name on the business card is "Jack-Lee", so Reno calls him Mr. Lee.
In fact, it was Mr. Li who hired Reno yesterday afternoon to narrate all the remaining competitions for GBG at the World Swimming Championships.
According to the information on Mr. Li's business card, such as his work unit and position, he is the director of GBG, and Reno did not ask much about what kind of director and what business he is responsible for. Anyway, Reno knew that Mr. Lee was a leader of GBG, and the leader who could pay him a salary would be enough.
Mr. Li led Reno to an unoccupied area, and suddenly there was a white envelope in his hand, and he naturally stuffed the envelope into Reno's hand, just like handing Reno a newspaper he had just bought.
Somewhat surprised and surprised, Reno weighed the envelope and could immediately guess what was inside.
What goods? Euros!
"It's 20,000 euros, which counts as an extra bonus for you, not in your paycheck." Mr. Li said with a smile.
20,000 euros?
Reno was even more surprised, 20,000 euros is not a small amount, he can only get 20,000 euros after working for GBG for 5 days, which is quite high, more than twice that of Canal+. A white-collar worker in a developed European country can get a monthly salary of 20,000 euros before tax, which is considered to be the best in the middle class. So 20,000 euros is not a small amount of money for ordinary people in Europe.
"Why?" Rino finally couldn't help but ask why, he wasn't a fool, Benima was a pit. This GBG company is also very weird, obviously a European media with pure blood, but it is a yellow-skinned, black-eyed Asian. For the money, Reno accepted the offer, but he felt he also had the right to know about something that puzzled him.
Mr. Li continued to smile: "You just explained very well, keep this style, and let the name of the Duke of China resound all over the world." The €20,000 is just the first reward, and depending on your performance, there may be surprises to come. Dear David, you also admire the Duke of China, so you must love this job too, don't you? ”
……
At the competition site of the swimming center, the Duke of China has returned to the preparation area of the Chinese team, and Du Ke broke his own national record of 200 breasts with a time of 2:08.51, gaining 10 bonus points, bringing his reward points to 35 points. The second step of the plan was successfully achieved.
Duke didn't know about the conversation between Mr. Lee and Reno, and he didn't know that there was a GBG video site that was following him, and he had never heard of this European site.
Doucle is busy right now because he's about to compete in his first final of the night, the men's 50m backstroke final. (To be continued.) )
