Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 882
At the end of September, Wei Jizhong took a few people to form a team to Jinling, and had a conversation with Yu Dong for more than two hours, and at the same time, he followed up with Yu Dong about the upcoming schedule of the Olympic bid ambassador.

In fact, this was just a formality. The moment Yu Dong was confirmed as the Olympic bid ambassador, the Olympic Bidding Committee must have launched an investigation into Dong's background, and Wei Jizhong would call Yu Dong only after confirming that there was no problem.

As for the questions, they were all simple, and no one recorded such private conversations.

On October [-], Yu Dong rushed to Yanjing.

Before Yu Dong rushed to Yanjing, the official had already issued an announcement inviting Yu Dong to be the ambassador of Yanjing's Olympic bid.

This time, Yu Dong went to Yanjing to attend the media meeting organized by the Olympic Bidding Committee on October [-], and then cooperate with Zhang Yimou to shoot the promotional film for the Olympic bid.The content of this meeting is relatively simple. The Olympic Bidding Committee will officially announce the next work content, and then Yu Dong will appear as an Olympic bid ambassador.

Essentially, this meeting is to call out to the outside world that Yanjing is about to start a formal competition.

……

After arriving at the hotel, Yu Dong had just settled down and was washing his face in the bathroom when there was a knock on the door.

"Hold on."

[House full of toilet paper: I heard it's very high, how much is it? 】

[Six plus Seven: What is the main purpose of today's meeting? 】

The strength of the national football team at this time is actually not bad. As long as the two sides cooperate, they can still play a pleasing game.

……

But when someone brought up Yu Dong's name, the attitudes of the participants changed.

When they held a meeting to select an Olympic bid ambassador, they first wanted to find a sports star. The Olympics is a sporting event after all, so it seems more reasonable to let a sports star serve as an Olympic bid ambassador.

[The poet's melancholy: It's hard to explain, it's just that it's awesome. 】

First, Yu Dong is a writer and Jackie Chan is a movie star. Although there is no occupational discrimination now, no matter how you look at it, the former is better.Second, Yu Dong is not just him alone, there is the entire Deep Space Company behind him.

"Now let us invite the famous writer Mr. Yu Dong to come on stage with applause."

Liu Jingming and Wei Jizhong didn't stay in Yudong's room for too long, about [-] minutes, they briefly talked about tomorrow's ceremony, and then they left.

"Actually, the relationship between writers and sports is not that far away. My good friend Mr. Shi Tiesheng has also been paying attention to Yanjing's Olympic bid. He called me and told me that Yanjing was selected as a candidate city for the Olympic Games. , His excited voice that night is still echoing in my mind... He used to be a strong athlete. Before he got into a wheelchair, he was the fastest runner among our friends. I used to think, what makes Shi Tiesheng has such a tenacious will, even in a wheelchair, he is still optimistic and positive, and later came to a conclusion that the sports career he once had definitely played a major role."

The two sides chatted for a while, and the hotel waiter brought over three cups of tea.

There were more journalists present, and the proportion of foreign journalists was obviously much higher than expected.

[Grandma Sun: Live video, how dare you think about it, I just ask if there are any pictures of the scene? 】

After receiving the employment certificate, the two exchanged a few words briefly, and then Liu Jingming walked off the stage.

Among other things, after the news was announced that day, there were two hot searches on Deep Space Tribe. One was that China's Yanjing was selected as a candidate city for the 2008 Olympic Games, and the other was that Yu Dong was about to serve as Yanjing's Olympic bid ambassador.

The two sides played a big fight and played offensively. In the end, the Chinese team lost by a small score. It will definitely play a role in China's sports promotion.

Yu Dong called the front desk and ordered a few cups of tea, then took Liu Jingming and the others to sit on the sofa in the living room.

The two shook hands, and Yu Dong invited them into the room.

Yu Dong nodded secretly. The lineup for the Olympic bid is reasonable, even though it is a bit weaker in terms of sports stars, but there is no way around it.

Facts have proved how correct their choice is. As soon as Yu Dong became the ambassador for the Olympic bid, Shenkong Company made a full-scale move, and the strength of the move exceeded Liu Jingming's expectations. The heat has picked up, and even the Olympic officials went to the Deep Space Tribe to interact with netizens.

However, after comprehensive consideration in the end, the Olympic bid committee agreed that Yu Dong was more suitable to be the first Olympic bid ambassador than Jackie Chan.

"In addition to writing, one of the main activities in my life is to play football, or to be played by Yu Hua and the others. Yu Hua, Bi Feiyu, and Mo Yan are all football fans. , Most of them play badly, but they all have a heart that loves football. If Yanjing can really successfully host the 2008 Olympic Games, I dare not say anything about other games. You will definitely see us in the stands of the football game .”

Liu Jingming said with a smile, "You have had a hard journey, so I shouldn't bother you so early, but on the one hand, I like your works very much, so I can't help but want to see you, on the other hand, tomorrow's work will be more difficult." I'm busy, I'm afraid I don't have time to chat with you in detail, so I can only come to you today, and I hope you don't mind."

Outside of the sports world, those who can have international influence and popularity are basically film and television stars, such as Gong Li and Jackie Chan.

Although Yu Dong knew Liu Jingming, Wei Jizhong still took the initiative to introduce Yu Dong, "Yu Dong, this is Chairman Liu Jingming from our Olympic Bidding Committee. I heard that you are here, and Chairman Liu came to see you."

At the media meeting here, after all the leaders had spoken, the host finally called out Yu Dong's name.

[Colorful black: Isn't that right? Just taking advantage of this wave of enthusiasm, there is no problem in bidding for the Olympic Games. 】

"Hello, Chairman Liu." Yu Dong greeted with a smile.

"Humanity is in the long..."

[Keyboard poet: Nonsense, Yu Dazai, how can media reporters not be too many?The Olympic bid committee has made a good move. I think we are on the safe side for this bid. 】

[Lovich and Harry: It seems that Zhang Yimou shot the promotional video for the Olympic bid this time? 】

But the point is that China has almost no internationally famous sports stars.

At the beginning, many people felt that Jackie Chan was more suitable to be the first ambassador for the Olympic bid. In terms of international influence and popularity, Jackie Chan was higher than other stars.

The text live broadcast room had just been set up, and a group of netizens poured in.

Yu Dong's speech was very long, like an article, but everyone at the scene listened quietly, for fear of missing any important points.

Amid the applause of the crowd, Yu Dong took the microphone and walked onto the stage, and under the arrangement of the host, Liu Jingming handed over the appointment certificate of the Yanjing Olympic Bidding Committee to Yu Dong.

The Olympic bid committee also considered letting Bundesliga footballer Yang Chen as the Olympic bid ambassador, but in the end he was not selected due to various reasons. There is also basketball star Wang Zhizhi, which is a little more complicated than Yang Chen's situation.

Later, there was no way, they could only think of looking for it from outside the sports world.

[Red Feather: It must be no problem for him to come to the filming. Do you know how much the box office of "Golden Dreamland" is? 】

"Where did Chairman Liu say that you and Mr. Wei are handling the Olympic bid work? The time is tight and the tasks are heavy. Naturally, we have to cooperate unconditionally. And it should be me to report to you, and now I have to trouble you and Mr. Wei in person. Run over here."

[BenQ mobile phone users: Has it already started?Is there any video? 】

From 08:30 in the morning, the text live broadcast room of the Deep Space Tribe officially started.

In addition, there are gossip reports that Deep Space Corporation is planning to arrange for Shanghai Shenhua to go to England to play a business match with Manchester United.

"Well, sure." Liu Jingming nodded, "Besides you, there are four other people, namely Jackie Chan, Sang Lan, Deng Yaping and Gong Li. An announcement will be made in January.”

After the host finished speaking, Yu Dong nodded and took a step forward, and said with a smile, "Good morning, everyone, I am Yu Dong. First of all, I would like to thank all comrades of the Yanjing Olympic Bidding Committee for their trust and entrusting such an important task to What I hold in my hands now is not only a simple certificate, but also a heavy responsibility. I clearly know that after receiving this employment certificate, I must give my best to Yanjing's Olympic bid s hard work."

Sitting next to Liu Jingming, Wei Jizhong felt the same way. Ever since the Olympic Bidding Committee announced the news that Yu Dong was the ambassador for the Olympic bid, not to mention the increase in the international attention of Yanjing's Olympic bid, the attention of the Olympic Games itself has also been raised. uplifted.

After Liu Jingming walked off the stage, the host smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Yu Dong, for becoming the first ambassador for the Olympic bid. At this moment, do you have anything in your heart that you want to say to the friends present and the audience in front of the TV?" ?”

In addition, there will be a text live broadcast of today's scene on Deep Space Tribe, and many netizens will watch it online.

In fact, what Deep Space Company wants is not to let Shenhua play against Manchester United, but to let the national football team play a commercial game.

The next morning, Yu Dong appeared at the media meeting early in the morning, but according to the procedure, he was not in a hurry to show up, so he stayed in the background all the time.

After much deliberation, I thought of Deng Yaping, but the influence of table tennis in the world is too small, and it is still a bit meaningless for Deng Yaping to be the first ambassador for the Olympic bid.

Liu Jingming smiled and said with emotion, "Thank you very much, thank you for your support for our Olympic bid. And just now you announced that you will be the ambassador for the Olympic bid, and it has already had a very good effect. Knowing that we are going to hold a press conference, Many foreign media have actively contacted us, hoping to come to the scene. During this period of time, foreign media’s attention to our Olympic bid has also skyrocketed, and all these attentions were brought by you.”

……

"Hello."

[Swinging in the wind: It seems that the ambassador for the Olympic bid was announced? 】

It is not the first time that Manchester United and Shenhua have played against each other. After Manchester United won the Triple Crown last year, they started their China tour and had a commercial match with Shenhua in Shanghai. In the end, Shenhua lost [-]-[-].

Because of Yu Dong's appearance, today's press meeting is somewhat different from what Liu Jingming and the others had imagined.

[Dark Fragrance Floating: The specific figure is 600 million U.S. dollars. It will be released in other regions one after another, and it will soon exceed [-] million U.S. dollars. Recently, Zhang Yimou has been very popular in North America. The Olympic Bidding Committee is really good at picking people. 】

【Recovery is powerless: If you don’t understand, just ask, what is the Olympics? 】

Looking at Yu Dong who was speaking on the stage, Liu Jingming leaned on the chair, feeling emotional.

If the photos of Yu Dong and Jackie Chan were placed in front of Europeans and Americans at the same time, more people would recognize Jackie Chan than Yu Dong.

After quickly wiping his face, Yu Dong ran out to open the door, and there were two men standing outside the door, one old and one middle-aged.

[Black and white: Not only is it as simple as announcing the ambassadors for the Olympic bid, but the next step is to announce the work, which can be regarded as an external publicity. I heard that there are a lot of media present today. 】

After drinking tea for a while, Yu Dong said with a smile, "Except for me, are the other Olympic bid ambassadors confirmed?"

Of course, this kind of competition is all about the world, with performance as the main focus and competition as the supplement.

In fact, in terms of popularity, although many people know Yu Dong's name, Yu Dong's face is certainly not as popular internationally as Jackie Chan, a movie star.Except for some special occasions, Yu Dong does not appear in front of the media for most of the year, but Jackie Chan is different. Except for some private time, Jackie Chan is exposed to the spotlight most of the time.

[The little elf who wanders the tip of the pen: I heard that the North American box office alone is close to [-] million US dollars, and the global box office has steadily exceeded [-] million US dollars. It is basically certain that Zhang Yimou will become the Chinese director with the highest box office of a single film. 】

Speaking of this, Yu Dong paused for a while, and then continued, "I am an author, and I never thought that I could stand on such a stage and contribute to China's sports cause, but in Here I still want to say a few words for myself, although I am an author, I am not irrelevant to the sports industry."

The old Yu Dong knew him. It was Wei Jizhong who personally led the team to meet him some time ago. Although Yu Dong had never met, he had seen him on TV. The vice chairman of the Olympic bid committee, Liu Jingming , although he is the vice-chairman, Liu Jingming fully presided over the work of this Olympic bid and belongs to the first leader.

He had read this manuscript in advance, because according to the procedure, all guest speeches had to be reviewed.

When he saw this speech, Liu Jingming sighed very much, this writer is a writer, and a speech written casually is a very down-to-earth essay.

There is no beautiful rhetoric, no complicated structure, but it sounds very comfortable.

At the end of his speech, Yu Dong said with a smile, "Regardless of whether the bid for the Olympic Games is successful or not, our spirit of developing sports in China will not change. There will be more and more sports venues and facilities that can provide public sports. More and more sports activities will be organized, and more and more people will participate in sports activities. Okay, thank you all, and my speech is over."
