Chapter Ninety-Seven: Conflict at the Press Conference
In Kyoto, Xiao Yong and Zheng Tiequan stayed at the official ONE hotel together.
As a large-scale event, it is still very good to ensure this part.
Flights, hotels, and accommodation for the group are all-inclusive.
Of course, this all-inclusive means that fighters can dine in the hotel's restaurant, not including those who want to go out and enjoy a lavish meal.
In the hotel cafeteria, Xiao Yong and Zheng Tiequan were taking food, Zheng Tiequan looked up, and suddenly saw a person walking in.
He touched Xiao Yong, who was taking food, with his elbow, and said, "Look! β
"See what?" Xiao Yong looked confused.
Zheng Tiequan said in a low voice: "Look at the stick!" β
Xiao Yong followed his gaze and looked over, it was Kim Sung-hyun.
Obviously, he was also placed in the hotel as a ONE fighter.
Xiao Yong glanced at it, continued to hold the food, and said casually: "Sooner or later, he will feel better." β
Xiao Yong and Zheng Tiequan took the food and found a place to sit down.
Seeing this guy arrive at the food area, he first looked left and right, and finally arrived at the stir-fry area, pot wrapped meat, kung pao chicken, spicy chicken...
"This stick is quite good at eating..."Xiao Yong complained in his heart, but he didn't think much about it.
At 6 p.m., ONE staff measured Xiao Yong's weight.
Xiao Yong's weight fluctuated slightly because he had eaten, but this was completely within the acceptable range.
The main thing about ONE is to ensure that the fighters do not lose weight due to dehydration.
This method is actually a little more humane and more beneficial to the health of the players.
Xiao Yong also felt this, which was much better than the pain of dehydration and weight loss.
However, it is also true that ONE's overall level is not as good as that of the UFC.
After the weigh-in, all the players were invited to a press conference!
This is the first time Xiao Yong has participated in this kind of occasion!
At the press conference, Tang Xiao, as the person in charge of China, sat in the middle because the event was held in China.
And that night was a total of five games!
Ten players sat on both sides of Tang Xiao.
Xiao Yong's position is on the most marginal position on the left hand.
The newcomer is treated like this, and Kim Sung-hyun is not much better, on the far side of his right hand.
The two were far apart.
Tang Xiao began to introduce the players separately, first of all, the two players of the main competition, and then the secondary competition, one group introduced to the media, and after the introduction, the media asked questions.
Because Xiao Yong sat on the very edge, they were the last group to be introduced.
Finally, when it came to the last group, Tang Xiao got up and introduced to the media of various countries.
This is Xiao Yong from China, who has a professional record of three wins and zero losses, and all three knockouts have come in the first round. It can be said that the strength is strong! β
"The other one, it's Kim Sung-hyun from Kimchi Country, a martial arts prodigy, since his debut, he has won 18 fights and 18 wins, and there are fifteen finishes! If you have any questions, you can ask them. β
There was silence, and the media from the rest of the players' countries were obviously not interested in them.
Xiao Yong is currently a bit famous, and it is only limited to China.
And the same goes for Kim Sung-hyun.
The only thing that interested the two of them is the media in Huaxia and Kimchi Country.
Finally, a Chinese reporter stood up, looked at Jin Chengxuan and asked, "Player Kim, do you have any favorite Chinese food?" β
Hearing this kind of question, Xiao Yong really wanted to slap this reporter!
Many reporters are like this, and they ask about Chinese food when they catch people.
This is a boxing match, ask some serious questions.
In fact, Xiao Yong really thinks too much, under normal circumstances, in the domestic fighting news, a certain player especially likes a certain food, and it is very likely to attract the attention of the audience more than introducing two players.
Jin Chengxuan picked up the microphone, smiled contemptuously, and said: "I'm sorry, I don't have any favorite Chinese food, Chinese food is fried, greasy and not conducive to training, I won't eat it!" β
Because there was an interpreter on the spot, Kim Sung-hyun's words were quickly translated.
When Xiao Yong heard this, his eyes immediately widened.
me!
This king and eight calves are too shameless?
What were those things he had just hit on his plate in the restaurant?
When Lao Tzu doesn't know his own national cuisine?
You don't like to eat, you just made a plate?
The reporter didn't know that he was speechless by Kim Sung-hyun's words, so he was bored and sat down directly.
At this time, a reporter from Kimchi Country asked Xiao Yong: "Xiao Yong, you have only played three games, do you feel pressure in the face of martial arts prodigy Jin Chengxuan?" β
She spoke in Korean, and Xiao Yong couldn't understand it, and when the translator finished translating the question, Xiao Yong shook his head and said: "There is no pressure, a person who practices taekwondo is to embroider his legs with fists, and it is okay to show off his power in your own country, and if you get into the ring, I will definitely end it!" β
After speaking, he said: "Also, Jin Chengxuan, I think you, as a man, will never open your eyes and talk nonsense, just before, in the hotel restaurant, I saw that you served a plate full of pot-wrapped meat, spicy chicken, kung pao chicken, eat more fragrant than anyone else, you don't like Chinese food so much, why don't you go to the kimchi area to eat your kimchi?" β
Xiao Yong is not a child habitual person.
He won't save any face for this Kim Sung-hyun!
These words were translated, and all the reporters at the scene looked at Kim Sung-hyun.
Kim Sung-hyun's old face flushed and said, "I didn't eat it!" You must have read it wrong! β
"The restaurants are monitored, don't say you haven't eaten, I'll adjust the monitoring when the time comes!"
As soon as Jin Chengxuan heard that there was surveillance, he immediately changed his words: "I just taste it occasionally, and I don't like it after eating it!" β
Xiao Yong rolled his eyes: "Don't like you to eat a plate?" β
This Kim Sung-hyun was really a little quick-witted, and forcibly defended: "Cafeteria, you can't waste food!" Although I didn't like it, I forced it to finish it, and next time I will definitely not eat a bite! β
It's really shameless, invincible in the world!
Xiao Yong was speechless.
This bastard really takes shamelessness to the extreme.
Of course, whether it is fair or not, it is free to decide.
After all, the eyes of the masses are bright.
Xiao Yong didn't bother to debate with him on this topic.
But the domestic reporters at the scene were already excited, and it was obvious that they would definitely have to write a big story about this matter after it went out.
At this time, a domestic reporter stood up and asked Xiao Yong: "Xiao Yong, I noticed that a very popular video has been circulating on the Internet recently, it is Kim Sung-hyun who said that our kung fu originated from their taekwondo, what do you think about this?" β
"the T!" As soon as Xiao Yong heard this, he became angry: "What is there to see? When his son grew up and wanted to be a grandfather, he turned out to be a eunuch and couldn't give birth, so he insisted that his father was a son, where is there such a shameless person in the world? β
"Poof!" A reporter couldn't hold back and laughed on the spot.
Yes, the culture of Kimchi Country can be said to be deeply influenced by the land of China, and it is undeniable that they do have some of their own heritage, but there are really not many.
It's nothing, but when I look back, I have to say that I am an ancestor, where is this like this?
These words made the translator worry enough, and he brewed for a long time, and wasted half a day of energy before translating it.
After this translation, the reporters of the kimchi country and Kim Sung-hyun on the scene did not look very good.
Jin Chengxuan even slapped the table and stood up directly, and he was chattering at Xiao Yong.
"What did he say?" It just so happened that Xiao Yong was surrounded by a translator, a very beautiful young lady, Xiao Yong turned his head and asked directly.
The translator glanced at Xiao Yong and said in a low voice: "He said that you are a waste bitch, and he will definitely knock you out with one leg." Let you know the power of taekwondo. β
Xiao Yong nodded, picked up the water bottle on the table, and took a sip.
Completely as if it didn't exist, just sit there.
At this moment, Kim Sung-hyun, who was thunderous, became even more angry.
He picked up the mineral water bottle on the table and smashed it at Xiao Yong.
But Xiao Yong's fierce eyes have a dynamic vision, and the moment the mineral water flew over, Xiao Yong subconsciously dodged, and flew over with his face horizontally, and smashed directly into the body of the translator.
Xiao Yong was furious, stood up, and directly threw the mineral water bottle in his hand!
"Bang!"
Xiao Yong smashed it very accurately.
Directly hit Kim Sung-hyun's head.
Kim Sung-hyun only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and he couldn't stand still, so he sat back on the chair directly.
However, he quickly regained his strength, stood up reluctantly, and was about to rush over to Xiao Yong!
The rest of the players in the center of the two quickly separated the two!
A press conference ended with a near-fight.
However, after the press conference, the reporters of the two countries went back and made different reports!
Netizens reacted differently.
Let's talk about the domestic first!
First of all, the reporters reported that Kim Sung-hyun complained about Chinese food, and they also came up with a restaurant surveillance video.
Of course, it also includes Kim Sung-hyun's various quibbles!
"Whew! This old TM kimchi country stick is too shameless? They don't even eat the pickle pimples they feed the dogs! Are you embarrassed to complain about our Chinese food? β
"It's not, you see this kid eating and dying, it's really not in vain to call this name, Kim Sung-hyun, just TM is really Nengxuan (Northeast dialect, Xuan means eating, but it has a derogatory meaning)"
"I look at him gobbling up, I don't necessarily eat as much as he eats for a day when I'm hungry, and I'm embarrassed to say that I'm afraid of waste?"
"I can't stand it, is this a boxing match? I'm going to have to watch this dead stick get beaten! β
I have to say that as a Chinese person, I have enough confidence in my own food.
In fact, I am also subject to a variety of different eating habits and criticisms.
But right now, it's clear that this is just opening your eyes and telling nonsense, targeting smears.
Whoever you put on you has to be angry.
In the follow-up of the press conference, the reporter also reported, from Xiao Yong's son Lao Tzu to Jin Chengxuan's annoyance and shame, but he was smashed back by Xiao Yong with mineral water, which was written very clearly!
Some friends live video.
This made netizens feel a lot more comfortable.
"Haha, awesome! This guy can handle it, don't look fierce, but something is real! β
"To be reasonable, I don't think there's anything wrong with what he said, Kimchi Country doesn't have any culture that can be used, but it's not a eunuch, the eunuch just counts, if you don't say Lao Tzu is a son, you can't just rush to the faΓ§ade and disgust people, why is this Kimchi Country player so angry?"
"Annoyed and angry, do you understand, people and countries, receiving foreign heads of state have to go up to dance with women's groups, what cultural heritage can they have? Can't you just say that someone else's is your own? was exposed to people's faces, and I couldn't stand it. β
"The universe is theirs, there's nothing wrong with it, but I only have one request, kill this king and eight calves!"
Basically, domestic public opinion is all in favor of Xiao Yong.
In the face of this malicious slander and insult, in the face of this forcible cultural theft, everyone will be outraged.
It is precisely because of this that many people have a bad impression of the stick.
But in the country of kimchi, public opinion is a different situation!
"Wow, this Xiao Yong looks so fierce, he can't compare with Cheng Xuan Oba at all!"
"It originally originated with us, and Huaxia just likes to say everything as theirs."
"Hehe, the Dragon Boat Festival is too, and so is Confucius, I want to say everything to theirs."
"It's a pity, he dodged it that time, and he smashed Cheng Xuan Oba, so distressed."
"Cheng Xuan must KO this guy and let him know that he is powerful!"
"But he's really fierce, so scary!"
Xiao Yong's appearance made these kimchi nationals who were accustomed to seeing their mother's motherhood also startled, and invisibly increased Xiao Yong's fear value.
But it's clear that they're also backing their country.
In the hotel, Kim Sung-hyun covered his head!
The moment he was smashed was not light, and a big bag bulged on his forehead.
"What can I do, I will say that I want to shoot a poster later!" Kim Sung-hyun was a little anxious.
"It's okay, I can ask the photographer to edit the picture." The coach was relieved.
As he spoke, he picked up his phone and showed him the comments on Kimchi Domestic.
Then he said: "You have attracted a lot of attention this time, if you play well, you will definitely be able to increase a wave of fans!" β
Jin Chengxuan's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I must avenge this revenge!" Wait, Xiao Yong, I'll let you know how far you are from me! β
He was ruthless, and the staff notified him to shoot the poster!
After arriving at the scene, Kim Sung-hyun found that the poster photos were all taken separately, and it was enough to fix them together in the end.
In fact, Tang Xiao was also afraid that they would clash again, so he simply filmed separately.
It's not uncommon for fighters to clash before a fight, and tournament organizers are often happy to see it happen.
However, most of the conflicts are three points true and seven points false, but Xiao Yong and Kim Sung-hyun, this is clearly very true, zero points false, really got together, fight, something happened, and it was not good for the event.
Xiao Yong has finished filming. After the shooting, there was nothing else, he and Zheng Tiequan caught a plane together and returned to BZ.
The fight is two months away, and in that time, ONE officials will need to do enough publicity and operations.
How many tickets can be sold, and how much advertising sponsorship can be sold, depends on the period.
The final event's revenue determines the success of the event.
In fact, the Chinese market is the largest market in Asia, which is well known to everyone, and whoever can gather popularity in the Chinese arena can ensure that the event side does not lose.
Holding a contest doesn't necessarily mean you can earn money every time.
For example, if the ticket tie price is 800, a game will only cost more than $1 million.
Five games, ten fighters, it is impossible for all of them to be unfamous, and the salary expenditure may account for about half, and then it is the salary of the security personnel, publicity and distribution expenses, and so on, all of which must be supported by money.
So it's not that easy to run an event.
Of course, they don't just rely on tickets, but also some online live streaming platforms, advertiser sponsorships, and so on.
No anti-theft
But the root of all these interests is to have attention to the game.
Tang Xiao is very happy now!
Since the press conference, there have been quite a few calls to inquire about the advertised price of a single session.
Obviously, many people are still optimistic about the heat of this game.
Kim Sung-hyun's success caused the outrage of Chinese netizens.
And Xiao Yong and his game are now far more concerned than the headline main game!
In the crescent community, Xiao Yong opened the door of the room.
It was uninhabited for two months, and a lot of dust fell in the house.
Tang Jiayi and Yang Lele did not come back.
But he had the keys to both rooms.
In order to prevent forgetting or losing the key, Han Jiayi and they left a spare key for each other.
Since Xiao Yong came back first, he didn't plan to be so dirty.
So, he fetched a basin of water and wiped down both rooms.
The windows were opened again to allow for ventilation.
After lying back on the bed, I couldn't help but miss Yang Lele...
But fortunately, two days later, Yang Lele came back first.
Xiao Yong was still training in his sleep space when he suddenly felt that someone was playing with his nose with his hair.
Xiao Yong woke up suddenly, opened his eyes, and saw Yang Lele with a smile on his face appeared in front of him!
"Why are you back, didn't you say you wouldn't be there until tomorrow?" Xiao Yong wondered.
Yang Lele joked: "I'm afraid that you will hide Jiaojiao in the golden house, come back in advance to check and see if there are any other women hiding under the bed!" Tell me the truth, is there any? β
"Of course not."
Yang Lele stood under the bed, threw the bag, jumped over, and smashed the whole person on Xiao Yong!
"Hey, young! What are you doing? β
"I've grown meat! I'm so angry! So crush you! β
"Gain three pounds every festive season, it's normal!"
"Then I'm angry!"
"Then let's exercise and lose weight together... 100% sweat and get thinner..."
Two days later, Han Jiayi also returned.
Schools are also opening soon. Just when Xiao Yong was preparing for class, Liu Changhe, who was far away in Kyoto, had completely completed the production of Daming brocade.
He was in a good mood and comfortable.
Make an appointment with a few friends, drink and eat together, and completely relax.
During the banquet, Du Feng, a well-known director in the industry, asked about Xiao Yong: "Lao Liu, how do you feel about working with that Xiao Yong?" β
Liu Changhe said with a smile: "That kid is good, although his acting skills are a little immature in some places, but they are brilliant in some places!" has spirituality, and can fight, has excellent skills, can endure hardships, and is obedient, what's the matter, you want to find him to film? β
Du Feng said with a smile: "There is indeed a drama ready to be filmed, but it is not directed by me, it is a little friend of mine, and the male protagonist is an undercover agent, but I want to find an actor who can perform the spirit of the rivers and lakes and is a little younger, and my own investment is relatively small, so I want to find a newcomer." β
