Vol 5 Chapter 7: The Old Man in the Mountain (7)


Wang Ai read the interview outline carefully, then nodded and handed it to Duan Xuan. Wang Ai is also familiar with everyone, so that the outline of the interview is relatively rough, leaving a lot of room for the host and guests.
Zhang Bin was hidden behind the scenes, He Wei and Lin Long watched the excitement on the sidelines, and Wang Ai was led backstage by the director to wait for the front. Seeing from the small screen in the background, a piece of music sounded, the hall lights were lit, and the background on the stage was a large screen. Duan Xuan was facing dozens of audiences below the stage on the stage. And Liu Jianhong stood on the side of the stage as the second host.
"Dear viewers in front of the TV and on the scene, today is our first episode of 2008. As we all know, our Chinese football achieved considerable results last year. The men's football team defended the Asian Cup and the new generation of players is booming. For example, Xiao Wang scored 11 goals in the Asian Cup, breaking the previous record of 8 goals and becoming a well-known shooter in China, Asia and the world. He even won the Golden Globe Award a month ago."
Speaking of this, Duan Xuan paused deliberately and smiled: "Today we are very happy to invite Xiao Wang himself as a guest to chat with everyone about football. Come on, Xiao Wang, come out!"
The camera was aimed at the side door, opened with a whirl, and the music rang. Wang Ai walked out in a red casual outfit, waving his hands as he walked, and let out two white breaths, which scared Wang Ai. .
It's really a jump! The audience laughed.
Liu Jianhong stepped forward and blamed: "Can't you cooperate?"
Wang Ai aggrieved: "I don't know you arranged this, or should I go again?"
Before the directors had finished discussing them, Wang Ai muttered: "Forget it, I'm not a fairy. I'm still freezing my feet with this thing."
Liu Jianhong shook his hand helplessly: "Go, go."
Wang Ai smiled and approached Duan Xuan, and the two shook hands. During the whole process, the CCTV staff who played the audience and the family members of individual people kept roaring and applauding, so that Wang Ai and Duan Xuan finished shaking hands. You have to turn around and bow to the audience to stop.
Wang Ai is the biggest football star on the Sports Channel. He may not have been before, but he now has a Golden Globe Award. It is not wrong to say that he is the biggest football star. At the same time, Wang Ai is also the most unassuming big-name guest and never carries it, so interviewing him is the easiest and most enjoyable, and he can bring the atmosphere up by himself without recording it over and over again.
In fact, many sports stars are not arrogant, such as Yao Ming, but he has a steady personality, so he can't get close to the audience, and the atmosphere of the show cannot be very lively. There are also some sports stars who learn from entertainment stars, who have very limited knowledge, but put on a deep face to bluff people.
For a while, it was quite popular. However, with the advent of the Internet era, the amount of information exploded, and various information walls were broken, and this picture became more and more ineffective.
In today's studio, Wang Ai broke the "hero model" that CCTV used to propagate him to people who have won great honors for the motherland. No hero model was seen jumping out of the stage.
"Xiao Wang, before starting today's official exchange, did you show your trophy to the people of the whole country?"
"Didn't you see it?"
Duan Xuan forcibly suppressed his urge to roll his eyes: "Isn't that in France, there are so many people, we can't take pictures with the camera endlessly, right? Audiences all over the country want to see this detail."
"Really?"
"Hurry up, you." Duan Xuan couldn't help but push Wang Ai.
Wang Ai smiled and walked off the stage, took the trophy out of his suitcase and put it on the coffee table on the stage. The lights in the studio were hit, oh, it was pure gold!
After the two sat down, Duan Xuan asked the first question: "What is the material of this trophy? You know we are used to using the term gold content to describe the true value of various awards. It is one of the highest awards in football. The gold content should be very high. You know we haven't had it before, and we can't study anyone with a Golden Globe trophy, so we finally got one back today. Everyone must want to know."
"Gold-plated, just like gold medals." Wang Ai said with a smile: "Next year's Olympic gold inlaid jade, the gold medal is not pure gold, the inside is silver, and the outside is gold-plated. This is the case. This thing requires According to our habit, it is not a bonus, but a certificate. This is not the same as Liu Xiang's Golden League. In that pure commercial event, the final reward is a combination of the bonus certificate."
Speaking of this, Wang Esso leaned forward and picked up the trophy. He greeted the camera and gave it a close-up: "Here is a brass ball with a layer of plating on the outside. And this ball is also hollow, otherwise the boss, all The brass is worth more than a hundred catties. This base is the foundation for the growth of natural crystals, that is, take away the beautiful natural crystals from the top, and leave the bottom layer, and then set the golden ball. So traditionally, this base is considered a gem , It’s just the cheap one in gems."
"Then how much is its manufacturing cost? Assuming that there is no honor bonus, even it itself?"
Wang Ai thought for a while: "I didn't ask this year, but I remember it was about 200,000 euros last year. There are both the material cost and the processing cost of the jewelry store."
"2 million yuan!" Duan Xuan exclaimed.
Wang Ai shrugged: "The labor cost in Europe is high. This thing is made by welding two hemispheres into a whole, then electroplating and polishing, which is actually quite troublesome. The material should be tens of thousands of euros."
"Well, you shattered many people's beautiful imaginations. If it were a pure gold ball, how good would it be?" Duan Xuan rushed down and asked, and he immediately agreed.
Wang Ai laughed for a while and said: "It is really made of pure gold, and the value is not necessarily higher than it. This honor bonus cannot be replaced by the material. The previous trophies are very small, such as those of Yashin and the others, but not Affect its global influence."
"Speaking of influence, Xiao Wang, we used to call it the European Footballer. Why does it have global influence? Is it because of last year's reforms?"
Wang Ai nodded and said: "In fact, it has had a relatively full global influence since 1995. Before 1995, it was only awarded to Europeans. After 1995, it was awarded to people playing in Europe. For example, Foreigners like Ronaldo and I can do it too. So you see, the Golden Globe Awards in 1995 belonged to George Vía and Liberia, but Maradona had never won it before 1995. Last year, we went further and expanded the awards. Globally. However, the focus of world football is Europe, so for a foreseeable future, the European League players will still monopolize this award for a long time, and even the core stars of the top five leagues will be competitive."
