Xu Xiaodi rushed back and completed the interview and interview postscript in only one and a half hours, and then faxed it back to China, and he also specially marked on the fax: "The only exclusive interview!" In order to show the truth, he also wrote in the afterword of the interview that Chu Zhongtian refused to be interviewed many times before and finally told the truth.

After the fax was sent, he fell into a deep sleep. He didn't care what to do with the domestic newspapers, but he couldn't wait to see the repercussions of his interview...... In his sleep, he dreamed that he had a spacious and bright office, and that the London Reporter Station had been upgraded to a small two-story building, where he managed a cook, two drivers, two secretaries, a head of the network department, an accountant, and three external contacts...... He finally doesn't have to wear many hats, and now he's the chief reporter here!

Every day he hardly stopped at the press station, he always rushed from one stadium to another, from city to city, squandering public funds in the name of interviews for exotic tours in England. When he wants to interview a Premier League star or coach, all he needs to do is make a phone call. All Premier League clubs' training bases and dressing rooms are open to him for twenty hours...... What a beautiful day like this!

Xu Xiaodi smacked his lips in his sleep.

In fact, so far, no media in China has been able to report on Chu Zhongtian. Although they all knew from the British side that in the just-concluded third round of the English FA Cup, there was a Chinese named "chu_zhongtian" who scored a historic goal, but apart from knowing from the British media that this person is Chinese and is still in college, they have long known other news.

How do they report such information?

Is it just a sentence: "In the third round of the FA Cup held at 4 p.m. local time on January 3, in the match between Wimbledon and Wimbledon Athletic, a Chinese player named Chu Zhongtian scored the first goal of a Chinese player in the history of the FA Cup"?

It's too thin, and it's really not competitive. Just such a sentence, the media all over the country are similar, what else can you do to attract something?

On the contrary, online media is much faster than the average traditional media. Judging from this morning, reports about Chu Zhongtian appeared in the sports news of Sina, Sohu, NetEase and other portals, although they have not even unified the translation of "chu_zhongtian". Sina Sports translates "Chu Zhongtian", Sohu Sports translates it as "Chu Zhongtian", and NetEase translates it as "Chu Zhongtian".

The report on the website is brief, and the details are still missing.

But the appetite of netizens and fans has been whetted by their reports, and now they desperately need to know more about the Chinese student who doesn't know whether it is called "Chu Zhongtian" or "Chu Zhongtian" or "Chu Zhongtian" - where is he from? What position does he play? What university in the UK did he study at? How old is he? How long has he been studying in the UK? Is he a purebred Chinese gentleman, or a British-Chinese? Is he from the mainland, Hong Kong, Macau, or Taiwanese...... Countless questions fill the minds of fans, and if someone can throw out a detailed report with enough weight at this time, it will definitely be enthusiastically pursued.

The news war that can't see the smoke of gunpowder has officially begun, who can grab this first?

※※※ was rejected by an amateur player, Li Liangcai was originally a little unhappy. So when he returned to the press station, he didn't rush to start making news. He still wants to snub that boy who doesn't know the height of the sky for a few days...... With the status of "Sports Weekly" among Chinese sports newspapers, if I don't report to you, what is the credibility of other newspaper reports, and how many people can see it? Want to be famous? If you want to be famous, you will be interviewed obediently.

So he planned to take a nap and get a good rest, waiting for the Chinese boy to take the initiative to call. But his nap was disturbed by a phone call from the club.

Qu Heng, the editor-in-chief of the society, personally called and asked him to get an interview about Chu Zhongtian no matter what.

"Since the World Cup, our fans have become less and less interested in football, and the Asian Cup is being held in our country this year, which is a good opportunity. Now that there is another Chinese student, we must seize this opportunity to hype up the football again and get the fans interested in football again. This task must be completed, Lao Li! ”

Li Liangcai got up from the bed, thought about it for a while, changed his clothes and rushed out, he still had to go to the bar for a run, only to find that the bar was closed...... Li Liangcai shook his head and muttered: "Don't blame me, old song!" I'm here, but people are off work! ”

Back at the station, Li Liangcai called the president Qu Heng: "He doesn't accept my interviews. ”

Qu Heng on the other end of the phone felt incredible: "Did you tell him that we are "Sports Weekly"? ”

"I told him, I also left my business card and told him to call me when he wanted to be interviewed with us, but he never came. I don't know why, but he doesn't seem to be willing to be interviewed by us anyway...... Is he prejudiced against us, old song? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Lao Li. No matter how biased you are, can you refuse such a famous thing? ”

"Hell, I don't know why he didn't want to be interviewed...... Why don't you wait, old song, I guess there will be a detailed report from the British media tomorrow, and I'll translate a few articles for you when the time comes, and you can use it yourself? ”

"Okay......" Qu Heng thought for a while, nodded and agreed.

"Don't worry, old song. If we can't get an interview, those other messy media will have no fun, and there are few people who can set up a station in London......" Li Liangcai comforted Li Liangcai when he heard the worry in his boss's tone.

"Xinhua News Agency and CCTV ......"

"Hey, those two bureaucrats!" Li Liangcai said disdainfully, "Xinhua News Agency is not interested in this kind of news, what about CCTV...... When their report is approved, we have even dug up the three generations of the ancestors of the international student, don't worry, Lao Qu! ”

※※※When Zhang Mingyu, the editor-in-chief of "Century New Sports", got the fax sent back by Xu Xiaodi from London, he didn't take it too seriously. Of course, he knows that this mysterious international student is very popular in the circle of sports reporters, and everyone is trying to dig up his news, but he still knows very well how many catties and taels he has under his command - his newspaper has no funds, no fame, no strength, and gets this person's exclusive?

The probability is similar to that when you suddenly want to buy a sports lottery, you will win five million.

And Xu Xiaodi has been in London for more than two years, and most of the things sent back are directly copied from the British media.

But what does all this have to do with him as the editor-in-chief? Even if it's made up blindly - he read it again, at least people make it up quite like that, more than two years, Xiao Xu's business ability is getting more and more proficient...... It's a well-written interview, and it's good, it's good -- as long as it appeals to the reader. As for if it is found out that this interview is fake, it doesn't matter, publish an apology statement, and then pull Xu Xiaodi out of the top cylinder.

For the editor-in-chief, Mr. Zhang Mingyu, he has nothing to lose and does not have to take any risks. If it's true, it's earned, so why not do it?

So after signing and publishing this manuscript, it was returned to the editor in charge.

※※※On Monday, the "Sports Weekly" was published. Qu Heng waited all night, and did not wait for the latest report sent back by Li Liangcai from the UK, so he had no choice but to send the newspaper sample to the printing house for printing, otherwise he would not be able to catch up with the listing time on Monday morning.

Li Liangcai had actually been waiting at several newspaper kiosks he frequented, but he didn't see any more detailed reports about Chu Zhongtian, and everyone was talking about those things - a Chinese student named "Chu" scored a goal in the third round of the FA Cup and was voted the best of the game. However, the third division team took up a lot of the page with a 2-1 win over superteam Everton on Sunday. Could it be that in fact, the British did not have much interest in this Chinese, and did not pay attention to it after normal reporting?

Readers who rushed to buy the latest issue of Sports Weekly will be disappointed. Because when they opened the newspaper and flipped to the international football section, they found that everything was the same as before, but there was not a word about what they wanted to see the most...... Even the most professional sports newspaper in China did not report further?

Who is that Chinese student?

Readers are more emotionally interested.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, a newspaper that claimed to cover the entire southern part of China, but was actually 90 percent in Hunan, was placed on the desk of Qu Heng, the editor-in-chief of Sports Weekly.

It was "Century New Sports", which was published on the same day as them, and it is also a comprehensive sports newspaper, but it is not a high-grade newspaper at all, both in terms of influence and circulation.

If "Sports Weekly" is an aircraft carrier among sports newspapers, then "Century New Sports" is a small sampan.

This newspaper belongs to Hunan Daily, and "Sports Weekly" was originally a newspaper under the Hunan Provincial Sports Commission, so the reason why "Century New Sports" was established was that it wanted to fight with their "Sports Weekly". Sports Weekly also took the opportunity to poach two of their reporters, who are very capable of covering the NBA. So the relationship between the two families has not been very good.

But now, when the national media are still asking "who is chu_zhongtian", this small sampan newspaper has published an interview of 3,000 words!

And it is marked as "an exclusive interview with Xu Xiaodi, a reporter of this newspaper in London".

This Xu Xiaodi Qu Heng, the editor-in-chief, had heard of it, and in order to threaten the "Sports Weekly" in all aspects, they also set up a London reporter station, but although the name was loud, only Xu Xiaodi was sent over. Almost all of the reports about English football that appeared in Century New Sports were "rewritten" from the British media.

But after all, they are a Chinese sports media that has set up a reporter station in London...... Li Liangcai once comforted him and said that "there are not many Chinese media outlets that have the ability to set up a station in London", isn't there only one?

Qu Hengqiang held back the irritability and anger in his heart and finished reading this interview and the postscript of the interview.

Is this true or false?

He kept asking himself in his head.

It seems to be quite true, and many of the answers are in line with the performance of a young man under the age of twenty who is famous for the first time. But Qu Heng really couldn't believe that the newspaper that had been beaten by them in China could have the energy to get an interview with this person named "Chu Zhongtian" in the UK...... You know, he refused Li Liangcai's interview!

Turned down our request for an interview, but was interviewed by a small newspaper, does he have a bag in his head?

Qu Heng knew that it was the middle of the night in the UK at this time, but he was not in the mood to wait for Li Liang to get up, so he picked up the phone on the table and called the London correspondent station of "Sports Weekly" directly.

※※※Li Liangcai squatted on the streets of London for a day, found nothing, and just fell asleep not long ago, he suddenly heard the phone ring. I ran to answer the phone in a daze, and before I came back to my senses, I heard a hurried questioning voice from inside: "Lao Li, do you know what's going on with that "Century New Sports"? How did they get the exclusive interview with Chu Zhongtian? Is there a movement in the British media? ”

Li Liangcai was stunned for a while while holding the phone, and did not make a sound. As soon as the cold wind blew, he shivered before he suddenly came back to his senses.

"Huh? Exclusive? Interview? Century New Sports? ”

"Are you awake now, Lao Li?" Qu Heng over there asked.

"What's going on?"

"They got an exclusive interview with the international student!"

Li Liangcai almost blurted out: "This is impossible!" I've been squatting for a day, and I haven't seen a single British media publish any interviews or other reports, all of them are still frying yesterday's cold rice, how can they get an exclusive interview? ”

Qu Heng's voice over there softened a little: "Is it fake?" ”

Li Liangcai didn't think about it, so he said categorically: "It's 100% fake!" That Xu Xiaodi I know, except for plagiarism and nonsense, I have no other skills. ”

He yawned.

"Okay, Lao Li. I mean, it's already Monday over there, right? ”

"Hmm...... "Li Liangcai said in his heart, did you know that it was the middle of the night?" It was just after half past two. ”

"Then you go and rest, and remember to pay attention to the newspapers that are on the shelves today."

"Don't worry, as long as there is any movement on the British side, I will pass it on to you immediately."

Li Liangcai waited for the president to hang up the phone before going to sleep, lying on the bed, he thought about the interview mentioned by the president Qu Heng, and felt that something was strange. But the strong tiredness made him have no time to think about it, and he quickly fell asleep with a tilt of his head.

"Since it......'s made up," Qu Heng smiled, then folded the newspaper and threw it into the trash basket under the table.

He is now waiting for the time to watch a good show, and he doesn't even mind falling into the well again when "Century New Sports" is in a hurry...... But is there anything else they have to dig up over there?

Did the small sampan start to do whatever it took to defeat the aircraft carrier? It's a pity that even if you don't do anything, you won't be able to win us...... Why waste all this effort?

Zhang Mingyu, the editor-in-chief of Century New Sports, was very happy to hear that the feedback was all good - because it was the first to publish an interview about this mysterious international student, so the sales were bullish. Newspapers that used to sell out at all are now even getting calls asking for reprints! And there are also companies that call to ask about advertising...... He sat in his office, smiling as brightly as a spring flower.

Whether the interview is true or not, they are already on fire! They have already won the first battle in this news war!

"Print, Lao Zhang?" The person from the distribution department is asking for instructions.

"Print! Reprint! Reprint! Zhang Mingyu excitedly shouted three "plus seals" in a row. "No...... Wait......"

He called out to the head of the distribution department, who was leaving.

"You wait first...... he called the head of the editorial department, and told them to mobilize all their forces and get him out of the list immediately!

Before and after Chu Zhongtian participated in the third round of the FA Cup, all the information that could be collected was sorted out and put outside. The core is, of course, the interview and interview postscript sent by Xu Xiaodi.

"But our information is not very detailed...... "The head of the editorial department was a little embarrassed.

"Edit! Didn't Xiao Xu have an interview? Look for those details in the interview and put them in! Don't you know these things yet? ”

The editor-in-chief exuded a domineering atmosphere, and the person in charge of the editorial department suddenly no longer had any opinions and took the order.

The person in charge of the distribution department also left, and the editor-in-chief was left in the office, and there were two newspapers in front of him, one was "Century New Sports", which published an interview with Chu Zhongtian, which was their own newspaper, and the other was "Sports Weekly", which he had always regarded as a competitor. In the international football section of the "New Century Sports" newspaper, Chu Zhongtian's color photos are very conspicuous, and the black title of "International Students Playing Football in the UK" is also eye-catching. And the Premier League edition of the "Sports Weekly" next to it has only a large headline about Chu Zhongtian - "Who is he?" Paired with a large photo of Chu Zhongtian, it seems to create a mysterious atmosphere and attract readers to look forward to the next issue.

It's a pity that this sense of expectation was completely destroyed by the "Century New Sports" that came out of nowhere.

Zhang Mingyu looked at these two contrasting newspapers and couldn't help laughing.
