Chapter 44: The Star

Before the second group stage match against the Indian national youth team, various media tried their best to interview the players of the Chinese national youth team, but the security of the hotel on the Korean side was leaky, and I don't know if it was really so responsible, or I was afraid that it would be robbed of the limelight as the host, after all, in the first game, South Korea took a lot of effort to defeat the powerful Malaysian national youth team 1:0 with a suspected offside goal before the end.

On the afternoon of the 21st, Lee Byrne ushered in an unexpected visitor at the hotel, who was actually the driver of the previous boss Xu, Kangbas. This guy rushed in with five or six people behind him at the door of the hotel, so scared that more than 20 people from the security guard on the Korean side almost didn't stop him, and finally the teenager came out and picked people in. Looking at the sweaty people, the young man asked curiously, "Why did you come to Korea at this time?" Isn't it preparing for the media department?"

Combas gasped and replied: "Mr. Li, I arranged someone in China to do related work, and I suddenly came to Seoul this time, mainly to use this Asian Youth Championship to warm up our new media "Stars", and by the way, to do an interview with the team during the Asian Youth Championship, we plan to launch the two best players in this game after each game, and package them in an all-round way. In fact, it is the star-making plan mentioned earlier, in addition to interviews, it also includes photo shooting and so on."

The boy thought for a moment and said, "Well, it's a good idea, but this kind of game is relatively fast-paced, with a short break, and after playing Japan yesterday, I have a day off in between, and I will play the next game tomorrow afternoon. I really can't make any decisions about this, so I'll apply to the manager and the Football Association officials who are with me later. Well, this content is good for the evening. Don't think about it during the day, there's still training and recovery to do."

"Okay, Mr. Li, you can spare an hour and a half at night. We're not a fashion column after all. It's just a matter of packing up and taking a few photos and doing an interview. You think if that's possible, we can start tonight."

After arranging for several people to rest in the conference room, the teenager ran to find the team leader and head coach. repeatedly assured that it would not affect the training and rest of the athletes, and finally approved the column group of Rice Sports to follow the team throughout the whole process as a documentary film crew with the team, which also had to report to the organizing committee and supplement the work cards of these people.

Wang Peng, who scored two goals in the first game, is currently the favorite to be the top scorer in this competition, so he is naturally the first choice for the interview. Zheng Dongqi, who had two other assists, won another spot. After a day of training, the two came to the conference room to participate in filming and interviews. It's all eighteen or nineteen young men, you can talk about football, at least your own major, you can say something. But this photo shoot is hard for them. What was prepared for Wang Peng was a group of sunshine boy-style shooting, but there was no need for the team members to put on some difficult actions, the only thing was that Wang Peng's eyes were small, and when the lights were played, his eyes were squinted, and the shooting was completely unlikely. In these years, Photoshop did not have such a powerful post-production function, and in 94 it just supported multi-layer work. In the end, I had to give up part of the fill light to complete the shooting.

Zheng Dongqi, a rough man, is even more difficult, because of the rough appearance, if the shooting is very sunny and creamy, it will definitely not look good. So he was arranged to take the cold route, and the whole photo was in black and white. There is a picture of Zheng Dongqi shirtless, facing the camera, half of his body is in the dark, he can't help but laugh when he takes this product, plus a group of teammates crowding at the door of the conference room to watch the excitement, it can be regarded as a difficult photographer. In the end, the young man pulled Zheng Dongqi to the cubicle next to him and muttered for a while, so that he could finally finish the shooting with a strained face.

During the interview, both of them expressed their domineering attitude at the request of the teenager, and took one to say that they wanted to win the top scorer, and the other said that this time they were aiming for the championship. Well, it's fun to have a choreographer who has worked in the Hong Kong entertainment industry invited by Combus. Who said that mainlanders are old-fashioned and will not create topics and gimmicks. At the end of the interview, the director asked each of them a digression. Wang Peng's question is: Please say what you want to say to the fans in your heart. In fact, a shy person like Wang Peng should have quietly said some ordinary words and pulled it down, but the editor thought that this first issue could be ignited, so the boy ran over and taught Wang Peng two sentences. As soon as this guy opens his mouth, he is: Do you believe in light? You are the light that guides me forward. It's just that this thing is still laughing, and the effect of the shoot is that our best shooter said this, revealing a charming (enigmatic) smile under the light, and even the inner teeth are shining brightly, with this sentence Do you believe in light is simply amazing. Changed to Zheng Dongqi's side, the question asked by the choreographer was that he kept laughing during the shooting, and in the end, what did Li Boen say to you, and you suddenly became cold? "Bourne sang me a song and said he thought it was written for me, and in his eyes I had the hope of growing into the best full-back in Asia," said Jung.

"Oh? What kind of song is it? I think it's going to be a well-known inspirational song!" The choreographer cleverly answered, "Then please sing two sentences for us. Next, let's thank Zheng Dongqi for the song he brought us."

Ah Qi looked at the choreographer with a black line on his face at this time, and sang: How invincible~~~ How lonely ~ How invincible is~~ How empty ~" When Zheng Dongqi finished singing, the audience was black, but the choreographer was so excited that he couldn't add more, and the song was used as the theme song of the "Star" column on the spot. It seems that this matter will have to trouble our boss Lee Bourne again.

As a professional player, he quickly came out of the novelty of recording the show, and the group stage against India officially started the next day, India is a magical country. What can I say about this country, it can be summed up as an unconventional path. It's only one of the world's countries with a population of more than a billion people who can't play football. If it's some kind of flying car stunt, playing the flute to tease a cobra or something, it's definitely stronger than the solar system.

6:0, a bloodless victory. In this game, Wang Peng was substituted after completing a hat trick in the 23rd minute of the second half. Zheng Zhi, Shao Jiayi and Zheng Dongqi scored the other three. If it weren't for the bad luck, Lee Bern should have scored a goal in this game, but unfortunately the free-kick in front of the goal hit the crossbar. However, it can be seen that after two months of hard training, free kicks have made great progress.

This time the interviews were Zheng Zhi and Shao Jiayi. After all, it is a media professional footballer, and it is definitely necessary to blindly take tricks, that is, the first issue needs some gimmicks, so it artificially creates a lot of joy. Everything in the recording of this issue is decent, and when I interviewed Zheng Zhi later, there was a moment when the teenager seemed to have returned to the last national team game of Zheng Zhi in his previous life. Because Zheng Zhi said in an interview: "I hope that when I retire in a few years, I can say without regrets that I did my best, and we have achieved brilliant achievements through everyone's efforts over the years, worthy of the fans and myself!" As the last big man of the national football team, Zheng Zhi has indeed given everything he can do. In this life, I believe he will not have any regrets.

During the recording of the second episode of the interview, the first issue of the "Star" column has been broadcast in Guangdong Sports. The response to this episode was unexpectedly good. Many fans said that this year's national youth is different, and there is a kind of king and domineering spirit! In the past, when the national football team was interviewed, the answer was either official or fake. Hey, you're a sportsman, or a competitive event, why are you being polite to people every day? Kicking the Maldives and saying that the opponent's strength is also very strong, and then kicking people on the field is 5:0, which is very boring. Fans like football don't just like the excitement and explosion that this sport brings to everyone. Why is Ibrahimovic so popular, does it need to be said? Even some of the Sven stars haven't seen anyone who keeps saying good about each other when they play. To put it bluntly, this is a lack of self-confidence. For so many years, why did Chinese football lose the ball as soon as it grabbed it, the men's basketball team was always afraid of the whole court pressing, and as soon as people came up with a fierce momentum, they were the first to coax. What for? It's not playing cards with Cheng Kuian, and he surrenders and loses half. You see the third brother Hao Junmin, playing the Japanese team, going up one and turning around the three of you. Domineering! People just have this confidence, you look at Wu Lei again, oops, the little family is angry. He can't get in alone, that's inevitable.

With the broadcast of the first issue of "Football Star", it is not the column group or Wang Peng who has benefited the most, but Zheng Dongqi. That sassy song is accompanied by ma

The black-and-white style photo to the extreme really conquered many female fans. I heard that his hometown told him that he was about to step on the threshold.

After these two consecutive wins, the qualification from the group is basically guaranteed. The next two games were against Qatar and Syria, and Syrian football at that time was not capable of causing problems for Chinese football, but Qatar has always been the bitter master. Unlike traditional West Asian teams, this team is not bad at skill and has a strong body. Therefore, if the Chinese team wants to rely on its body to eat its opponent, it will inevitably not be able to bargain too much. So in fact, this game is the most important group stage for teenagers, and I hope to help these young players improve their resilience and learn how to play the game in a stalemate situation. For young players, every official match is the best workout, especially for those who are preparing to go to Europe.
