Reborn on Top of Football - Vol 8 Chapter 162

“I don’t think your character interviews are long?” Wang Ai flipped through the latest interview outline in the living room on the third floor of his home, and suddenly realized: “Oh, you didn’t use it all when you finalized it, right?”

The three reporters who came from afar looked at each other and smiled, and said in the lead: “Part of the reason is mainly because your deeds are commendable in many places, you care about a lot of people, and your news value is high.”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged reporter gestured at Abby Wang: “Besides, it’s not so difficult to interview you.”

Wang Ai was also happy: “Please understand this. It’s not that I’m playing big cards with you and bargaining conditions, no. It’s just some interview content… I have nothing to fear, but my sponsors are not good, they will be afraid. Since I’m still in this football kingdom and there are certain rules that I have to follow.”

“Then why don’t you talk about the difference between the natural man Wang Ai and the star Wang Ai?”

“Start from here?” Wang Ai asked back and nodded after getting an affirmative answer: “Natural person Wang Ai is the senior primate in front of you who eats, dresses, sleeps, is happy, angry and crazy. I have what everyone has. The words of the star Wang Ai are a sports cultural product jointly created by many people including me, and they are special commodities that are used in the market to add value to certain products.”

“When did you discover this difference? In my impression, this is the first time I heard the analysis of the nature of a star so clearly.”

“I didn’t understand it at first, and no one taught me. After all, the real cultural and sports stars in our country didn’t appear for a long time. In the planned economy era, those cultural and sports stars were only famous, not as closely related to the economy as they are now.” Wang Wang Ai calmly and gently said: “Probably at a certain time, I signed more and more endorsement contracts, especially those in Europe and the United States. Their contracts are very detailed and have many anti-human regulations. As a natural person, I must There is going to be a struggle, after all, not being allowed to do this or that is to suppress human nature.”

“What do you see in this repression?”

“I have been struggling and thinking about it all the time. I suddenly figured it out at a certain moment. What people want, including what sponsors want and what fans want, is not a natural person Wang Ai, but a natural person based on me. Virtual person. For example, remove some of my shortcomings. This is the same as the makeup of actors before performing on stage. They are all trying to provide a perfect image. Are natural people perfect? ​​Of course not, but why provide perfect? ​​Because people want It must be perfect.” Wang Ai said this and made a gesture: “So, the natural person Wang Ai and the star Wang Ai are independent in a way that does not completely overlap. A second face.”

Several reporters nodded frequently, and the leading reporter suddenly smiled: “Aren’t you afraid of affecting your commercial value by saying that? You have disassembled the celebrity, and almost told everyone that you have shortcomings and shortcomings. Isn’t this against the commercial value of the celebrity?” Is it regular?”

Wang Ai grinned and said, “Don’t be afraid, because my star image is a little different from the general one.”

“What’s the difference?” The reporter asked immediately.

Wang Ai laughed for a while before saying: “Guess?”

Several reporters looked at each other, and one of them tentatively said: “You play football with your brain, which is very rare in Chinese football, so some theoretical views are conducive to strengthening? At the same time, your public image has always been peaceful and gentle. , don’t put on airs, so telling the truth is good for strengthening?”

Wang Ai spread out his hands with a smile, but didn’t speak, and the reporters didn’t ask any more because they had a good understanding. Because it will inevitably give readers a bad impression that Wang Ai is good at calculating. This is what Wang Ai and the few reporters present try to avoid. After all, they and Wang Ai just have some work communication problems and there is no hatred.

… Even if there is hatred, he dare not dig a hole for Wang Ai.

“It’s been almost a year since I came to Real Madrid, how do you feel?”

“very good.”

“which aspect?”

“In all aspects.” Wang Ai added: “The world’s best club deserves its reputation. It is really first-class or even top-notch in all aspects, including facilities, venues, equipment, personnel, technology, concepts, and even teammates, coaches, and stadiums. Although not Individually the best of any club I’ve been through, but overall the best and well balanced.”

“So the other clubs fall short?”

“Well, everyone has their own problems, such as Manchester City.” Wang Ai knew that the other party had to continue to ask, so he simply gave an example: “Manchester City is also very good in all aspects, especially the hardware facilities are not inferior to Real Madrid, but the history of Manchester City is relatively good. Weak, the corresponding appeal to people is not as strong as Real Madrid. At the same time, the attitude towards victory is not so calm.”

“Then since you are in the best club in the world, and you have almost the best teammates in the world, will you retire at Real Madrid? Or continue to wander?”

Hearing the word retirement, Wang Ai frowned subconsciously, but said calmly: “Not sure, it depends on many factors. Maybe I’m tired of staying here, maybe Real Madrid doesn’t need me anymore, this may lead to the next step Loyalty is of course a commendable quality, but the modern football system, especially after the Bosman Act, is developing towards a market economy as a whole. An important feature of a market economy is the optimal allocation of resources, including players Matching with clubs. The right people and the right groups are more productive.”

“Then why are some people able to stay in a club for a long time, such as Messi? Like Maldini?”

Wang Ai subconsciously leaned on his chin with his hands. There was no camera anyway: “Maldini’s entire family is actually a part of AC Milan, so it’s normal for him to stay. Messi… is a bit content with the status quo. He has football and money. Earning money, having friends, and having a family is good. He is a person who concentrates on enjoying the joy of football and has reached his current height naturally. Barcelona is still a top giant and can meet his needs, so there is no need for him to leave. ”

“how about you?”

“I am a foreigner. If there is a club I must belong to, it is Liaozu. But I still have to play for the national team and I must improve my level, so Maldini’s situation is not suitable for me. In addition, it is easier than Messi. life, I have more things to consider, so the requirements for the club are more complicated. I understand what you and your readers mean, isn’t it a matter of loyalty?”

Seeing the reporter nodding, Wang Ai said seriously: “Loyalty is of course an excellent quality, a quality worthy of praise. But modern football is under the market economic system, and the market economy emphasizes the matching of resources, suitable players and suitable players. clubs are more productive together.”
