Chapter 283: This is Liu Yifei, my girlfriend
The reason why Mu Rong became popular in China and won the first Asian yellow world championship in K-1 history is definitely due to this honor.
Ever since the country was opened by the bombardment of the West by the strong ships of the West, the national self-confidence of the Chinese people has been seriously hit.
The Chinese are a proud people, because for many years in history, the Chinese have stood on top of the world.
But in the face of the scientific power of the West, the Chinese lost completely, which is intolerable for the proud Chinese.
Chinese people are not afraid of death, but they are most afraid of being worse than others.
The Chinese would rather go out desperately and prove that they are better than others.
This is the backbone of a strong nation.
In times of peace, there are not many ways to prove strength.
The most fundamental hard power competition, that is, the competition of national strength, China has not been able to compare with the world powers for the time being.
Then we can only look at the cultural soft power.
The reason why China was so active in fighting for the opportunity to host the Olympic Games was because the Olympic Games were the largest sports event in the world.
Sports is an important track of cultural soft power.
In terms of sports, China has always been a weak country.
Although Huaguo's table tennis, diving, volleyball and other events are not bad, they have also won gold medals.
However, in large-scale sports, Huaguo's strength is still in the early stage of exploration.
This is understandable, and it is an inevitable consequence of the huge gap in time and investment costs.
However, when seeing the huge gap, it is inevitable that the Chinese people will be disappointed in their minds, and then complain.
This is a normal psychological phenomenon, but under the rendering of people with hearts, it has been fabricated as the advantages and disadvantages of the human race.
For example, in running races, the advantage of black people is huge, and some people think that this is a racial moat, and yellow people can never compete with black people.
And in sports that require absolute strength, such as boxing and weightlifting, there are also people who believe that white people are more talented.
In the face of such a viewpoint, even if the Chinese people are unwilling, it is difficult to refute it, because there is no example to prove it.
But Mu Rong appeared.
He broke the curse that it was impossible for a yellow person to become a heavyweight world boxing champion and became the first yellow world boxing champion.
This is not only a kind of pride for the Chinese, but also a shot in the arm for the Japanese people, who are also of the yellow race.
Therefore, since Mu Rong won the K-1 World Championship, he not only has a super high popularity in China, but also has a transcendent status in the hearts of K-1 fans in Japan.
Since Mu Rong won the K-1 World Championship, in the past two years, many yellow *** players have also tried to compete in the K-1 World Championship.
But in the past two years, none of the yellow players who participated in the competition even reached the semifinals, and they were basically crushed and defeated.
The audience and the media, who originally thought that Asians were going to rise, only understood one thing after seeing the defeat of one yellow race after another.
It's not that the strength of Asians has improved, but that Mu Rong's strength is too strong, and he is too easy to perform on the field, so that many people think that they can also play.
After further recognizing the strength of Mu Rong, his influence became even greater.
Since he won the championship, he has rarely come to Japan.
But every time he comes to Japan, he is inevitably recognized and asked for autographs and group photos.
The organizers of K-1 have repeatedly invited him to participate in the K-1 World Championship again, and even paid him millions of dollars in appearance fees.
That's more than the K-1 champion's prize money.
And this just shows that Mu Rong's unique influence in the K-1 fighting tournament program.
Since he accepted the invitation to attend this year's K-1 World Finals as a guest, K-1 organizers have included this message in their promotional advertisements and replayed the video of Murong's game on television.
But no matter how many times it is replayed, every time there is a video replay of Mu Rong's game, the ratings of the TV station remain high, which can be called a ratings artifact.
No way, Mu Rong's game, the viewing experience is really shocking.
Whether it's his one-punch knockout, his miraculous rebound strikes, or his stormy and lethal strikes, it's all an art.
And he is among the entertainment stars, and he also belongs to the top handsome appearance, which makes him a huge number of fans.
He basically never conducts fan support activities in Japan, but the number of his Japan fans has skyrocketed year after year, and it has multiplied several times, and most of them are female fans.
When the news of his presence at the Finals appeared, ticket sales for the K-1 Finals skyrocketed, and the prices of tickets for many good spots doubled overnight.
And a large part of these viewers who suddenly came to buy tickets for the finals were female fans of Mu Rong.
In this case, when Liu Yifei took Mu Rong's arm and appeared in the VIP area of the Dome Stadium, the scene almost fell into madness.
Many female fans collapsed immediately after seeing Mu Rong appear with Liu Yifei in his arms on the big screen at the scene.
Some emotional female fans didn't even bother and rushed towards the VIP area.
Fortunately, there were enough security personnel at the scene to barely stop them.
And the reporters who were closer to your ward had already rushed to Mu Rong's approach and interviewed Mu Rong.
"May I ask Mr. Mu Rong, what is the relationship between you and the young lady next to you?"
Speaking stiff Mandarin, this is a reporter from Japan.
"Mu Rong, look here! You and Liu Yifei appeared together, do you want to announce the relationship?"
"Cousin, cousin! Are you together?"
These are journalists from domestic media.
Mu Rong took Liu Yifei to attend, and he had no intention of avoiding people.
Facing the reporter's camera and microphone, Mu Rong smiled and took Liu Yifei's hand: "Let me officially introduce to everyone, this is Liu Yifei, my girlfriend, we are in love."
Liu Yifei pursed her lips a little shyly, and then nodded, which was equivalent to acknowledging Mu Rong's words.
She turned her face away and looked at Mu Rong, her eyes full of affection.
Hearing Mu Rong admit his relationship, the reporters were excited.
Originally, everyone came for the K-1 championship, but they didn't expect to encounter such a big news!
It's amazing!
Tomorrow, the domestic entertainment section will have to explode!
"Mr. Mu Rong, did you choose to announce your relationship on this occasion, did you consider whether the fans could accept it?"
A reporter from Japan asked Mu Rong.
Hearing his question, Mu Rong was a little puzzled: "If you are my fan and know that I have a girlfriend, shouldn't you be happy for me?"
「……」
「……」
Journalists from both countries were somewhat speechless.
Do you really not understand or do you not understand?
Don't you know why those fans like you?
Aren't they all hungry for you?
Now that you're announcing your relationship, what are they going to want?
Mu Rong didn't care about this, he smiled: "Okay, today's protagonists are our two contestants, don't focus on me, pay more attention to the game!"
Seeing him change the topic, the reporters also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and began to ask questions related to the game.
"Mu Boxing King, in this year's finals, the K-1 organizers invited a mysterious guest to present the award to the champion, who do you think it will be?"
