Chapter 124: The Mystery and the "True Image"
PS: Ask for the first order, monthly pass!
Since Fan Ju entered the professional tennis world, he has never seen so many media gathered in the same room, there are many people in the orange bowl, and there are also many people who blocked himself in the first two times, but compared to today, it is simply a drop in the bucket.
The Sun, The Guardian, Lyon, Herald...... They are all world-famous newspapers and magazines, CBS, NBC, ABC...... The five major TV networks in the United States have arrived, am I not dreaming? Fan Ju hid in the background and secretly looked out, which made him feel like his camera panic was about to attack again.
Today's press conference is very lively, IMG finally pulled up the banner, publicly and the French sports newspaper called the board, of course, the French sports newspaper did not let go at all, in their opinion, the recording evidence in their hands is to hold the other party's dead hole, even if you can't kill a behemoth like IMG, it can make the other party uncomfortable for a year and a half.
"Welcome everyone to this press conference today, and then we have invited the parties to be interviewed by you." Rembrandt was not present, and Fan Ju and a group of people did not know what he planned to do, in short, the press conference was still held, operated by employees from other departments of IMG, and the opening was to invite Fan Ju out so that the reporters could satisfy their curiosity first.
Fan Ju walked into the venue with a "calm" face, and there was no expression on his face since he entered, and the media saw Fan Ju's appearance, and immediately felt that this young player must have been under a lot of pressure recently, but they didn't know that Fan Ju should eat and sleep, just because there were too many shots and a slight panic attack.
"Mr. Fan Ju, I'm a reporter from the Guardian, what do you think about the accusations made by France Sport. Are you prepared to take legal action? "It's an old question, but the Guardian is a big newspaper. Of course, these contents have to be elaborated in a big way, and they don't disdain to go to those things that are gods and ghosts. I'm afraid that British readers will not care about whether Fan Ju is a demon born in the East in his former colony, this kind of nonsensical report.
"The complaint is yes, IMG has filed a lawsuit in court on my behalf, and I think that as a responsible newspaper, I should not use a baseless recording to slander a "minor" for taking banned drugs, which is not only immoral, but also a kind of damage to my heart. He said it with a straight face, but it was not lacking in convincing at all. Because in the eyes of many people, a person of Fan Ju's age should have a smiling face all day long, and not such a heavy expression.
Minor, this is an important message that the barrister asked Fan Ju to convey to the media, reminding those reporters of the fact that Fan Ju is not yet 18 years old, and he is still a minor who cannot bear the responsibility for his actions, even if there is conclusive evidence, he should be dealt with lightly, rather than holding on to it like the French newspaper Sport. This is inherently an unethical act.
Take the moral high ground, even if this point is not high, but as long as there is other media to help it, then in the court proceedings. This will be more beneficial to IMG, and Fan Ju doesn't know how much it will help, but he knows that it will certainly not be less.
The European and American legal systems are very strict about the protection of minors. Parents beat and scold their children, if they are really held accountable. Forced deprivation of custody will even be enforced, and a court restraining order prohibiting access to the child will be issued. Even if the child himself does not want to, the strict law will judge for itself whether it is "beneficial" for the child, whether Fan Ju is only a few months away from turning 18 years old, but now he is not 18 years old, it is an irrefutable fact.
If there is no further evidence, this can at most make IMG and the French newspaper Sport a moral tie, anyway, the muzzle of the newspaper has long been turned to IMG, which "maybe" provided banned drugs to Fan Ju, and even these remarks will be countered by the other party, accusing IMG of "persecuting" minors and making them infamy.
"Do you think IMG is responsible for this incident, after all, they leaked your private information and got you into this turmoil." The person who stood up and asked the question Fan Ju didn't know him, but the person next to him knew very well who this person was.
Hurriedly grabbed Fan Ju, who wanted to answer, and pulled the microphone: "This reporter from the French sports newspaper, your accusation is an insult to IMG, are you sure that the recording in your hand is the final version, and not cut and made up by yourself?" Can you tell me who provided you with the recording? Is it in compliance with the law? β
French Sport! Yes, it was the newspaper that reported on the ban on drugs, and his status in the French sports newspaper was not high, and he could only eat some leftovers on the margins of the "team newspaper", but he was still able to have the ability to influence the opinions of a large number of readers in a media distributed throughout France.
It was the press conference staff sent by IMG to assist in snatching the microphone, and Raschet and Katrina were hidden because of the identities of the people involved in the recording, which was somewhat unusual, but it was specially arranged by Rembrandt.
"We at France Sport are a rigorous media, you can't interfere with our right to freedom of interview, we have the right to expose the darkness of society and fight for the right to freedom of the press!" Righteous or false? In order to compete for the market, the French sports newspaper has reported the hearsay news without a few shadows.
None of the media on the scene criticized the arguments of the French sports newspaper, or no one dared to guarantee that all the content they reported was true and reliable, even the big newspapers needed some gossip to fill the pages to increase entertainment, and commercial circulation and advertising were the basis for their survival.
"Bang bang! Well, the reporter of the French newspaper Sport said it very well, so if I can provide the full recording of that day, does it mean that the French newspaper will publicly admit its mistake and apologize in the newspaper for the damage caused to Fan Ju and IMG in this incident? β
With a very large body, Fan Ju had already discovered that this guy had been secretly hiding at the side door for a long time.
Fan Ju actually wanted to pretend not to see it, but there was no way, there were really few people with his stature, hidden among hundreds of people, and Fan Ju could find him out at a glance.
"This ...... This, of course, we French people are the most evidence-oriented, but I doubt the authenticity of the evidence you provided, after all, the two people in the recording are your employees, and this time is enough to falsify the evidence! "This person is not an ordinary reporter, he can't be an ordinary person who can be sent to the scene of IMG competition, the gold-rimmed glasses make him very imposing, but he has forgotten one thing, what kind of consequences will be brought to him by the words that come out of his mouth.
The big fat man Rembrandt walked up to the rostrum unhurriedly, he was holding an ordinary voice recorder in his hand, the style was very old, it should be a model many years ago, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that the content inside could determine the outcome of this event!
"Angel Strike! Sure enough, that kid can do it! β
"Oops! What are you doing? β
"What angel strike, it can't be some forbidden drug, right?"
The first three sentences of dialogue are no different, the interval in the middle, and the surrounding noise are the same as those published by the French sports newspaper, but the next content makes the man with gold-rimmed eyes break out in a cold sweat when he listens to it, because he has never heard those contents, and he realizes that he has also been deceived, deceived by his own greed!
"Did you see Fan Ju swinging his racket on the court? Is there any difference between the discovery and the first set? β
βFACE?β
"Fluency?"
"Ding-dong! That's exactly right, Angel Strike is the kind of play that is more fluid and smooth, although the arms and shoulders reduce the explosive force, but it can borrow more body volume to enhance the speed and power of the strike, which is a very suitable style of play for active attack. β
"Why wasn't he useful before?"
"Too weak......"
"Fan Ju?"
"No, it's an opponent."
The recording is very complete, the noise on the side, and even the shouts of the audience are also on the right level, even if you want to be able to do sound simulation, but the mixture of hundreds of different audio combinations is impossible to fake in any way.
The media at the scene coincidentally came up with the same idea, if this recording is real, it means that this incident is completely fabricated by the French newspaper Sport!
That's right, it's a frame-off, as Fan Ju just said, he is a minor, a media designed to frame a minor, and at the same time wanted to use this evidence to ban the minor for life, this is a very strict frame-up, no media will believe that the French sports newspaper does not know the truth of the matter, and what it gets is an incomplete recording.
βNOβ¦β¦οΌβ The man with the golden silk wanted to say something, but he saw a familiar figure, but the person at this time was no longer greasy and sloppy, very energetic, just like the high-spirited appearance before leaving the newspaper, the appearance of the ace reporter of the newspaper.
He knew that he had been sold, but he could not argue with himself, and any explanation seemed so weak at this time, he had to leave the meeting in a hurry with his colleagues, and inform the newspaper headquarters, ready to accept more doubts to come.
β¦β¦
"Come, Fan Ju, let me introduce you, this is Mr. HonorΓ©, our company's new media assistant, he will be in charge of your media publicity and reception next, and another word ......"
"He recorded it, right?" Fan Ju shook Honor's hand with a smile and interrupted Rembrandt's words without looking back.
ββ¦β¦ You, how? Damn it! I hate geniuses! Rembrandt looked at Fan Ju with resentment, the "surprise" that he had prepared for so much time was instantly debunked, how did he get off the stage......
Fan Ju looked at the Frenchman in front of him, his face was not good, but his eyes were very energetic, he looked at Fan Ju with interest at this time, and at the same time, there was a somewhat worn voice recorder in the corner of his pocket.
Learn to observe carefully that everyone is Sherlock Holmes, not to mention that Rembrandt himself is not a person who can act, hearing the news that he went to France, Fan Ju probably guessed that he was going to find the clues of this recording, although it took some time, but it finally allowed him to find the former reporter of the French sports newspaper, Mr. Honoret. (To be continued......)
