Reborn on Top of Football - Vol 8 Chapter 163
“I heard you just said higher productivity, referring to the level of competition?”
“Yes.” Wang Ai nodded: “To be precise, it is a better-looking game. In fact, although loyalty and mobility are contradictory, they also coexist. This is related to the evolution of the attributes of modern football. At the beginning, football belongs to the community. Everyone Teams are all established in communities or factories and factory communities. Due to cultural reasons, they are very exclusive and can be regarded as a substitute for war or competition. But when they develop to a certain level, some historical glory, A powerful and influential team is beyond the scope of a single community. For example, Real Madrid, which community does it belong to? At least half of the more than 3 million people in Madrid are Real Madrid fans. What kind of community is so big?”
The reporters nodded and listened to Wang Ai’s words: “After the emergence of the football grading system, football began to separate from the community, or it did not completely overlap. The proportion of the community decreased with the improvement of the team level. Some of today’s giants The club does not even rely on the community at all, but relies on the fan organizations born out of the community. Individual fan organization members can span more than half of the world. In this way, public attributes are added to the community attributes of football. Community attributes require closure , Public attributes require openness, so loyalty is tradition, and flow is reality.”
“If you were to leave, where would your next club be? I heard that every time the sports channel gets a headache because of your transfer?”
Wang Ai laughed a few times before saying: “It’s too early to say these things. If one day Real Madrid can’t provide what I want or I can’t provide what Real Madrid wants, then I will consider this issue. I will probably take stock of my What I have, pick what I need the most, and then go to the pairing to see who is suitable. At the moment I am happy with everything in Real Madrid, but I am also open to this question.”
“As the most well-known cultural and sports star in China, you have many fans. Do you have any experience you want to teach them? After all, becoming famous is the dream of many people.”
Wang Ai heard this question, and looked at the reporter with a half-smile: “Try hard, and treat it peacefully if you don’t succeed. After all, becoming famous is more accidental than inevitable. It is objective conditions that first shape the position of fame.” , and then someone fills it in.”
“Can you give an example? This point of view is also very novel.”
“Well… for example, me, Chaoju. First, the rise of online media has greatly expanded the territory of the original football kingdom, bringing more lucrative profits, greater influence, and giving birth to star positions with higher commercial value. , that is, super giant, and then the three of us who performed almost the best at the same time filled this position.”
Wang Ai looked at several reporters and said very seriously: “Our three personal efforts just turned us into candidates for super giants, but hard work is not scarce, especially in the top football circles. But why didn’t they do it before? Super giants? Didn’t the former stars work hard? No, but the limit of the ability of TV broadcasting has reached that. In that environment, no matter how hard they work and how talented they are, the superstars have reached the peak, and there is no place for super giants. Our individual stars can only change the small environment around them, but they are powerless to the big environment, for example, it is impossible for them to develop network technology.”
“It’s hard work to be a candidate, isn’t it? Because you did your best to seize the opportunity?”
“Effort is of course very important, but it is not the only one. There is no equal sign between hard work and success, such as the luck factor. Football is a strenuous sport with a heavy burden on the body, and injuries will occur if you are not careful. And once Injury, can not frequently appear in the camera, the commercial value will dive, which is the same as the need for the exposure of literary stars. For example, Michael Owen, our Chinese media called him “Chasing the Wind Boy”, when Real Madrid introduced He was treated like Ronaldo, but in the end? Kaka is the same. He is the superstar closest to the superstar era. If he has fewer injuries and a longer peak period, he will catch up. It looks like one or two years. Even some of his hardware conditions are better than the three of us, but it is because of injuries, declining status, and retirement that he has not caught up.”
“What hardware conditions?” The reporter asked curiously.
Wang Ai smiled: “Handsome! Right? He is an authentic handsome man.”
“Then you three…” The reporter dragged his voice deliberately.
Wang Ai let out a haha: “It’s not handsome anyway. You can tell by our respective promotional points. In terms of image creation, none of us are going in the direction of handsome. In terms of facial features, we are actually pretty good, but we and Kaka’s The service time has overlapped for a long time, Zhuyu is in front, really not as handsome as others, so I can only go in another direction.”
“So, you want to use these two stories to tell young people who want to become famous that their own efforts are necessary, but if they are not famous, there is no need to blame themselves for not working hard enough, right? After all, there are many influencing factors that cannot be replaced by personal efforts? ”
“Yes, we must admit that the phenomenon of fame has an inherent law that does not depend on people’s will. We cannot urge them desperately with voluntarism. In this era of urbanization, young people are under great pressure. Don’t they want to buy a house with their own income? Don’t they want to go home and buy a car for their parents with their own income? Don’t they want their parents and relatives to puff up their chests in front of others because of them? They really want to, they are more than ever The young people want it even more! Faced with this group of people who are already motivated, the best attitude is to help them, understand them, and warm them, rather than blindly urging them. In fact, the greater the pressure, the greater the achievement, because Whether it is steel or people, there are pressure limits. Once they are crushed, they lose confidence, give up their ideals, and give up their efforts. What can you do? He has failed too many times, and he still can’t get With the support of society, how do you convince him to continue to look at life optimistically?”
“You mean too much urging and too little reassurance?”
“We have developed to this stage, and the social environment is like this. At the same time, our traditional culture is also the same, and young people are the new generation of Chinese culture, so you see? There is no room for them to relax in the external environment and internal concepts. ? At this time, whether you are a successful person or a scholar, you should have detached thinking and perspectives to fill some needs.”
Under the watchful eyes of the reporter, Wang Ai continued: “I am not opposed to hard work, let alone persuade people to give up their ideals. No, I am an idealist myself. However, hard work must be restrained. I don’t train 24 hours a day. , I should eat, sleep, and have fun.”
