Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 410 Who will be the next "King of Grass"

Chen Ran knows one thing very well.

The Chinese audience basically knows you through the pen of a Chinese reporter.

Who would be so free as to watch foreign interviews in English?

How you treat reporters in China will be how they publicize you.

What's more, the Chinese language is broad and profound, and these reporters are all masters of eloquence, and it is even more trivial to play with some Spring and Autumn brushwork.

The 80-year-old representative artist "Zhang Yingqian", despite her outstanding achievements, is almost turned into ashes on the Internet, with all kinds of spoofs and smear jokes emerging one after another.

Don’t underestimate the imagination of Chinese netizens, they can definitely lead the world.

There are experts among the masses.

For example, not long ago, a netizen was very talented in spoofing the movie "The Promise" directed by Chen Da. The latter was so angry that he had a stomachache and said the famous saying "You can't be so shameless."

Now, there is a very tragic and sharp contrast with Chen Ran.

Soon, everyone discovered the difference.

This reverse double standard is really heartwarming.

As for the "international movie queen" you said has good acting skills?
This is 2004, not 2014 when traffic stars became popular.

As a result, what happened at this press conference was quickly spread back to China.

Immediately afterwards, netizens who were not too dissatisfied with the excitement took out the "international female movie queen" with a bad reputation and whipped her corpse. After all, the other party had just made a big show not long ago, and then exposed herself to foreign reporters. A kind and friendly smile.

He explained very clearly, patiently and without any airs.

The Internet in 2004 should not be too free.

Finally, Chen Ran also thanked all Chinese fans and reporters who supported him.

What? Chen Ran actually imitates those actors and actresses in the entertainment industry who worship foreigners and adopts double standards for domestic and foreign countries?
Hey, that’s not right!

In this era of mainland China, there are many artists with outstanding acting skills in the entertainment industry.

Netizens were naturally furious.

Chen Ran doesn't want to be pranked by Chinese netizens.

In today's entertainment industry, singing requires singing skills, and acting requires acting skills. It's not like later generations who didn't have acting or singing skills, but they can still let fans swipe orders and control reviews.

Chen Ran, this is simply a reverse double standard!

Sure enough, his move aroused a wave of praise from Chinese fans.

"Chen Ran treats domestic and foreign reporters with double standards!"

It just so happened that this wave was photographed by a cautious Chinese reporter and then posted on the Internet.

At the press conference, he just criticized American reporters and believed that the combination of Sampras and Federer may not have the effect that the outside world expected. Then he answered why he arranged a tour for himself after Wimbledon and before the Athens Olympics. s reason.

A relatively pure era.

"I declare that this international superstar is real, and that so-called international superstar is fake and purely for marketing!"

"That's right, who knows you when you are abroad?"

"Nowadays, the famous celebrities abroad include Chen Ran and Yao Ming as athletes, Jackie Chan and Jet Li as artists, and no one else can!"

Then, there was overwhelming ridicule on the entire Internet, and finally forced the actress's company to send a lawyer's letter warning her.

……

"Chen Ran is not optimistic about my cooperation with you?"

Sampras was very surprised, especially the phrase "1+1 may not equal 2" in the world of professional sports impressed him deeply.

The most obvious example is the NBA Finals that ended not long ago. The Los Angeles Lakers, with four Hall of Fame stars, were defeated by the civilian team Detroit Pistons, and the score was still 4 to 1.

Even several of the games were one-sided defeats.

Indeed, if the competition of competitive sports is simple addition and subtraction, then what fun would it be?

This is not about statistics. Although Federer is still young today, he can actually understand Chen Ran's words.

"I didn't expect him to think this way, so that's why he doesn't hire a coach now?"

In theory, top players like them have a complete team, and the head coach is just a member of this team. His role is not as big as that kind of team sport.

Moreover, when it comes to tactical layout, players will naturally become better with practice as they play more games.

It's just that the so-called authorities are obsessed with it. Tennis players sometimes get into trouble during the game, which requires a coach to give timely guidance and adjust their playing style.

However, Chen Ran currently does not have such a dilemma.

"Such a war of words before the game actually doesn't make much sense." Sampras shrugged, appearing disapproving. "As long as you defeat the opponent, then everything he says and does will look like a clown."

From his perspective, those media outlets enthusiastically promoted Chen Ran's potential to become the "goat" in tennis and one day break his Grand Slam record, which was extremely objectionable.

Let's first surpass Agassi's seven, his mortal enemy.

Don't be like the Brazilian Kuerten, who won three French Opens in a row when he was young, and then failed to recover.

"Roger, I think you're too nervous!"

Sampras couldn't help but shook his head, "You can get yourself excited, but you can't get nervous before the game starts."

He patted Federer on the shoulder: "You have to know that you beat Chen Ran."

The only win was at the end of the year.

Federer lost all four Grand Slam matches against Chen Ran.

After all, Grand Slams and year-end tournaments are two completely different things.

Although the bonus of the latter is more considerable, the influence and attention are not the same.

In particular, Grand Slams are best-of-five sets, which is a more difficult battle.

"Yes, I've won the French Open."

"It has broken the zero record in the Grand Slam, even though Chen Ran retired due to injury that time."

"The mental barrier should no longer exist."

Federer told himself this.

"All right!"

Sampras clapped his hands vigorously and said, "It's time for us to go to the court. The Wimbledon final is really memorable."

He stood in the finals of this event countless times, and eventually won the championship seven times.

From Sampras's personal perspective, the grass court at Wimbledon has special meaning to him and is also his favorite place.

The former king of grassland has retired, and now he wants to personally train a new king of grassland.

That Chinese guy...

He will lose both his Wimbledon title and his world No. 1 ranking today.

……

As Federer and Sampras geared up to head to the final venue together, Chen Ran lay on the big bed in the hotel and took a deep breath.

He had just come out of the "simulation training ground."

Also on the center court of the All England Club, facing the same opponent, Chen Ran and Federer fought in five sets.

As a result, he was forced to chase 2 from 3 to by the opponent.

Even though it was a virtual duel, Chen Ran was still a little depressed.

In a real game, I hope it will be a different outcome.

Whoever wins will be the next King of Grass.
