Chapter Seventy-Three: A Visitor from the Other Side of the Ocean
On February 4, 2015, the 76ers defeated the Nuggets 105-98 at home, and Hollis Thompson won the Player of the Game title with 23 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and Ding Wei played only 15 minutes, scoring 7 points and 5 assists.
"This game was hidden not because of poor strength, but because Ding Wei is becoming more and more valued in the team, it is true that we have to see that Ding Wei is still far from the top stars in the NBA, but in the 76ers, he is already a well-deserved tactical core." Duan Xiaoran, the chief reporter of "Basketball Herald" in the United States, sent out a ** on the interview car parked outside the arena as soon as the game ended, and attached a close-up of Ding Wei on the bench, the big boy in the white towel was talking and laughing with his teammates around him, and even the players at the far end of the bench were curious to lean their heads to listen to what they were saying, and he had become the focus of attention of his teammates invisibly.
**As soon as it was released, a large number of forwards and comments were instantly refreshed, Duan Xiaoran nodded with satisfaction, this passage and this photo were carefully conceived and selected by him, and now it seems that it has indeed played a good effect, and it also gives him full confidence in the next series of actions, before the All-Star Game, the 76ers have to play 3 games, two home and one away, and the away game is also Boston, which is not far from Philadelphia, and the All-Star Game is jointly hosted by New York and Brooklyn, it seems that during this time, he may be resident in Philadelphia.
"The headquarters said that they would send someone to assist me in the interview, and they didn't tell who it was, so mysterious," Duan Xiaoran muttered while turning on the mobile phone navigation, "Master, go to the airport." ”
He was answered by the roar of the interview car's motor.
Philadelphia International Airport is the largest airport in the Delaware Silicon Valley area and Pennsylvania, and one of the most prosperous airports in the world, there are hundreds of flights here every day, more than 100,000 passengers come and go, and a considerable number of them are Chinese, because Philadelphia has not yet opened direct flights to Chinese cities, so domestic tourists and business people generally fly to Los Angeles first, and then transfer to arrive here.
"Zone A Exit 1...... I guess this is it. Duan Xiaoran looked at the watch on his wrist and muttered, if he arrived on time, the person he was going to pick up had almost arrived.
Sure enough, less than two minutes later, the automatic door of Exit 1 slowly opened as a large wave of people approached, and he hurriedly held up the sign in his hand that read "Basketball Herald Reporter Station in the United States".
But until all the passengers on this flight are gone, and I don't see half of my familiar faces, is it a newcomer?
Duan Xiaoran put down the sign in his hand, took out his mobile phone and just pressed it twice, and suddenly felt that his shoulder was slapped heavily, and he turned back reflexively, no one.
"Look the other way around, haha......" A familiar voice came from the opposite direction of his turn.
"Mr. Su?! How are you? Before Duan Xiaoran turned around, he already knew who was coming, the editor-in-chief of the "Basketball Pioneer", Su Qun.
"Isn't it a girl, aren't you disappointed?" Su Qun looked at his subordinates and comrades-in-arms with a smile, as the first batch of reporters in the United States of the "Basketball Herald", coupled with ten years of hard work, now Duan Xiaoran's influence in the entire newspaper is even no less than that of the deputy editor-in-chief.
"How come, I look forward to you every day." Duan Xiaoran skillfully took the trolley box in Su Qun's hand, walked through the surging crowd in the arrival hall, and returned to the interview car.
"It's a good mix, now, the RV is all matched." Su Qun looked at the complete interview equipment in the car, and half-jokingly said that although he was in China, the foundation of the survival of "Basketball Herald" was in the NBA, not to mention that he knew everything here, at least he knew it in his heart.
"Here's the coverage of the last game from the major media outlets in Philadelphia." Duan Xiaoran didn't answer Su Qun's words, but immediately cut to the chase, he knew that although Su Qun had a relaxed and freehand posture on the surface, he definitely didn't have a special bottom in his heart about whether this planned interview could achieve good results, the reason why he said this was just because he didn't want to put too much pressure on him, otherwise why did he rush over from the other side of the earth, thinking of this, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.
Su Qun took the thick newspaper clippings handed over by Duan Xiaoran, and started very heavy, it can be seen that the reporter station for this interview may pay more attention than himself, now that the network information is so developed, few reporters will collect information through the primitive way of newspaper clippings, but the biggest difference between print media and online media is the difference between feasts and fast food, take pictures as an example, although the pictures on the Internet are more massive, but there are not many classics that can really bring people visual impact, And there is often a lack of logic between photographs, which is where newspapers excel, perhaps just a little change in the arrangement and combination can make people feel a lot different.
For example, the headline of this whole page of the "Philadelphia Sports News", the selected headline photo is an overhead shot of the Quickloan Center Arena, at the top of the screen is the scoreboard of the final score, surrounded by fans on both sides in the stands, although they can't see their expressions clearly, but from the difference in the direction they are heading can tell who is the winner of this game - the 76ers fans are pouring to the center of the court, and the Cavaliers fans are heading towards the exit, In the middle of the court are the 76ers players huddled together, although there is only a small circle in the whole picture, but this circle is the real focus of the game.
The title photo is surrounded by four small close-ups, both on the field of the cadenza shots, but also on the field of fan interaction and reaction, and in each photo, you can find the details that represent the time, it is easy to see that these four photos were taken in the first to fourth quarters, although it may be easier to understand with the caption text below the picture, but this ingenious way can maximize the integrity of the layout, it seems that not only the person who shot is a master, but also the typesetting.
Su Qun flipped a few pages in succession, most of the newspapers were mainly pictures, although the cutting and combination styles were different, but the editor's ingenious conception and careful arrangement could be seen in them. Even as a professional, he can't help but be amazed.
This is not only applauding the high level of foreign counterparts, but also rejoicing that there is finally another Chinese who can stand on the highest stage of world basketball, and another Chinese after Yao Ming who can play an important role in important competitions!
In this interview, you must do your best!
……
"Do all the domestic media want to interview me?" Hearing the news that Bai Wenkai told him, Ding Wei, who was pinching a carton of milk to his mouth, suddenly choked, and quickly coughed to cover his mouth, the milk overflowed from between his fingers, and he quickly picked up the tissue on the table to wipe it.
"There are four companies that have received interview letters: CCTV, Hu Pu, Sports Weekly and Basketball Herald." Bai Wenkai said.
Ding Wei's hand that was wiping the table stopped, and he raised his head to look at Bai Wenkai until he confirmed from the latter's gaze that it was not a joke.
"When is it?"
"CCTV did not determine the specific interview time, probably before the seventh day of the first lunar month, after all, for them, they also have to consider staggering the time with the Spring Festival Gala, so they didn't set it too hard."
Seeing Ding Wei nodded and motioned for him to continue, Bai Wenkai continued: "The interview time of Hu Pu, Weekly and Pioneer is about the same, probably around the All-Star Game, after all, this time is the time of the year when the NBA is paid the most attention, of course, the list of three-point contests for the All-Star Game has not yet been announced, if it is announced, maybe there will be some changes in their arrangements." ”
Among the Chinese players who landed in the NBA, Yao Ming participated in the main game of the All-Star Game, Yi Jianlian participated in the rookie game, and there has never been a Chinese figure in individual competitions such as skill competitions, slam dunk competitions, and three-point competitions, let alone winning any championships, if anyone can do this, it will definitely be big news.
"Hmm, what do you think of Brother Kai?" Ding Wei couldn't think of a clue after thinking about it, although his performance in front of the media was good among NBA players, but he couldn't bear to come to so many interviews at once, which inevitably involved the issue of trade-offs, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
"CCTV's interview must be accepted no matter what, and they may be most concerned about whether you have plans to join the national team in the short term, you have to show an attitude towards this, as for the rhetoric, I can prepare it in advance."
"That's fine." Ding Wei nodded, he would never refuse to serve the country, and with his strength, this is just a matter of course, the key is to see the attitude of the country.
"As for the other three, you can think about it yourself, and you don't have to say yes to all of them. Hu Po's interview may be through the Internet, which will be relatively simple, and you can also register a real-name account of Hu Po, I don't think they will necessarily take this interview so seriously, but if you can use Hu Po as a platform to interact with fans for a long time, this is probably what they expect, and they will fight for you. ”
"What about the Weekly and the Herald?"
"These two are a relatively troublesome situation, because it is a competitive relationship, promising one may offend the other, but this problem is not big, after all, your career is still very long, and there are many opportunities for interviews, considering your training arrangement, you can strategically reject one, or both of them, but I suggest that you give preference to sports weekly, although they are not professional newspapers in basketball, but the influence is not comparable to professional newspapers, I will negotiate with them."
"I'll think about it again," Ding Wei subconsciously pinched his temples, he was already starting to have a headache about this matter, "If they contact you, you can see their sincerity first, and then decide." ”
