Fame with a ball

At the press conference after the game, Lin Zhigao was sought after by the reporters.

Such a situation can be expected, that miraculous goal on the field, Lin Zhi's high-speed reaction speed, including the yellow card issued by the referee, can all become hot topics of discussion among reporters.In addition, the 35th round of the league has all ended, Juventus won the game, but AC Milan tied with the opponent, which means——

The current league champions are Juventus!Although their lead is only one point, and there are still 3 games left in the league, but the temporary first is also the first, right?

However, what Lin Zhigao did not expect was that the focus of the questions asked by these reporters was not on the competition at all.

"What do you think of the recent Armani underwear ad that made you famous?"

"Ronaldo claimed that the idea of ​​the commercial came entirely from the director, so is it voluntary for you to dedicate yourself to making the commercial?"

"According to the news from the advertising team, you had a conflict with Ronaldo at the shooting scene?"

"Will you enter the film and television industry?"

"It's been reported that you have the uncut version of the Armani ad. Would you sell it to The Sun? We can pay a premium for it."

Lin Zhigao stayed for a long time before asking, "Armani's commercial has already been launched?"

The reporters all cast contemptuous glances at him: "Don't you know? It was broadcasted all over the world a week ago! Now it is scrolling and broadcasting on the big screen in the center of Turin from time to time."

"Uh, I really don't know." Lin Zhigao scratched his head: "I'm busy playing games recently, so I rarely read newspapers."

All the reporters were speechless for a while, and then a Spanish reporter rushed to ask: "I heard that this type of underwear is currently the best seller in China and Japan, and the store was sold out within a few hours after it arrived. !The European market is a little bit less, the Armani Group spokesperson said that they hope to shoot the second commercial within this year, what kind of creative will the second commercial be?"

"How would I know this..."

"Then the Armani Group hasn't contacted you about the shooting plan of the second commercial?"

Lin Zhigao spread his hands helplessly: "I even knew about the launch of the advertisement from you. What do you think I will know?"

"Lin Zhigao! Lin Zhigao!" A Chinese reporter came out from the siege and asked loudly: "Japan has recently released a survey of national health idols, which shows that you are the idol in the hearts of 18.6% of Japanese teenagers. Second only to Daisuke Matsuzaka, the strongest baseball player in Japan, and Shinji Kagawa, who is ranked second, and Shinji Kagawa's support rate is only 3.7 percentage points higher than yours. Before you, he is the most admired by Japanese teenagers Chinese athletes are the most expensive baseball coach Wang Sadaharu in Japanese history, what do you think about this?"

Lin Zhigao plucked his ears, and asked in confusion and surprise: "Can you repeat your question again? How do I feel, I really think I didn't hear clearly."

So the Chinese reporter asked again in one go in Mandarin, and added an extra sentence at the end: "I heard that the ratio of your popularity among Japanese boys and girls is one to one, and there are many reasons why they like you. Some people think that you play football very well, some think you are handsome, and some people admire you purely because you have a good relationship with so many superstars. Well, there is a new opinion circulating on the Japanese Internet recently, that is They think your figure is very in line with the golden ratio in the eyes of the Japanese, they think you are the 'perfect body'."

This time, Lin Zhigao was sure that he had heard correctly. He was very surprised and asked: "You said that some teenagers in Japan regard me as an idol?"

The reporter nodded heavily, with an excited expression on his face: "Yes! This matter has been discussed crazily in China now! So I really want to know what you think about this matter."

Lin Zhigao couldn't help muttering softly in Chinese: "This survey data...couldn't all the Chinese netizens climb the wall to vote..."

Most of the reporters present heard Lin Zhigao's soft whisper, but except for the Chinese reporters, no one knew what Lin Zhigao was talking about.

The group of foreign reporters asked the yellow-skinned and black-haired Asian reporters beside them, "What questions are you asking? And what is Lin answering?"

And those Chinese reporters pretended to be confused and shook their heads: "We don't know!" In fact, more than half of them were laughing at the moment!

Just at this moment, an English sentence full of Japanese taste suddenly appeared on the scene: "Mr. Lin, can I ask you a few questions? I am from the "Yomiuri Shimbun" in Japan."

The few Chinese journalists standing in the front row immediately looked back, and at the back of the crowd, they found a man with the same hair and skin as them, but a little shorter, with a serious and upright expression.

The man was wearing a well-dressed suit, and he was meticulously groomed. On his chest was a reporter card that read: "Yomiuri Shimbun" Nakayama Taiichi.

"Yomiuri Shimbun is the biggest-selling newspaper in Japan." A Chinese reporter who was very close to Lin Zhigao secretly said something to Lin Zhigao.

Lin Zhigao smiled back at the reporter, and then asked in English: "What question do you want to ask me?"

"First of all, it is a question that the Japanese people are very concerned about. Why did you miss the China-Japan friendly match during the New Year?"

"Didn't the Chinese Football Association tell you the reason? The club temporarily organized a medical examination for all members, and I had to return to Turin early."

Nakayama Taiichi nodded with a serious face, quickly recorded and asked: "The Armani series you endorsed is currently very popular in Japan, and is the favorite of students and office workers. Will you go to Japan to participate in Armani's brand promotion activities?" What about it? You have never been to Japan since your debut, is there any special reason?"

"Which activities I will attend depends on my agent's arrangement." Lin Zhigao smiled and said: "As for why I have never been to Japan, when I didn't play football before, it was because I didn't have money to buy air tickets. I became a professional player, but I have no time to travel around, and there is no manufacturer to send me a plane ticket to Japan!"

There was a burst of laughter in the press conference hall.

Nakayama Taichi's eyes lit up: "Then would you choose to endorse Japanese brands? For example, Sony, Panasonic, Canon and the like?"

Lin Zhigao didn't answer this question directly: "My agent is responsible for matters related to the contract. I will shoot whatever he picks up."

"Recently some Japanese media said that Juventus is also in contact with Shinji Kagawa's agent. Do you know Shinji Kagawa? What do you think of him?"

Lin Zhigao didn’t know Shinji Kagawa at all, and he was about to ask Nakayama Taiichi: I’m in Turin, and I never heard that Juventus is going to introduce your Japanese players. Where did your local media hear about this? ?However, Taiyi Nakayama's constant questioning has aroused the dissatisfaction of journalists from other countries. They all said that you, a Japanese reporter, have asked too many questions. Now it's our turn to ask questions, so you can go aside!

So Lin Zhigao successfully escaped Zhongshan Taiyi's question, but he immediately fell into the vast ocean fabricated by other reporters.

The press conference lasted for a full hour before it ended, and the time was so long that the staff of the club came in frequently to check if there was any accident at the scene.After dismissing all the reporters, Lin Zhigao slumped on the chair tiredly. He took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Jiang Peng: Why do you seem to be very popular in Japan?

In less than half a minute, Jiang Peng's reply came: not only Japan, but you are now killing Southeast Asia.

……

Lin Zhigao is really red, this time it is completely red without water.

Even the Chinese journalists, who always like to brag about stars going abroad to the world, did not expect that Lin Zhigao has gained a lot of fame and influence in Southeast Asia so quickly.

Lin Zhigao has been a popular topic in China for almost two years, why is it that he is really popular all over the world at this time?I heard that Japan's nkh TV station is planning to send a film crew to Turin to interview Lin Zhigao.Japan's largest TV station responded in this way, and Hong Kong and Taiwan quickly followed suit. Within a week, [-]% of the sports and entertainment news on their TV and newspapers were related to Lin Zhigao.

Of course, the continuous accumulation of fame and strength must be a due quantitative process. The world influence of the giant Juventus, the Golden Boy Award and many other trophies won, and the amazing battle with Barcelona and Real Madrid are all included in this.

But what about qualitative change?Suddenly climbing from one height to another must be due to some reason.

After a collective discussion between domestic netizens and the media, they believed that among the reasons why Lin Zhigao's reputation is now snowballing rapidly around the world, Messi, Ronaldo, and Mourinho are all responsible. Indispensable, Capello also contributed.

The best Asian players in European football are nothing more than Nakata Hidetoshi, Nakamura Shunsuke, Kagawa Shinji, and Park Ji-sung.Before Shinji Kagawa was born, Hidetoshi Nakata should have been the best Asian player. He was the No. [-] player in Serie A with a higher salary than Del Piero, and he was also the hero of Rome's championship. But after Shinji Kagawa went to Dortmund, the two The results of the first Bundesliga championship have made Kagawa Shinji the hottest local football player in Japan today.

But whether it's Shinji Kagawa, Hidetoshi Nakata, or anyone else—do they have Messi as a good friend?Can they shoot underwear commercials with Ronaldo and spark sparks frequently?Can they compete with Messi and Ronaldo without falling behind?Have they been praised by Mourinho again and again in public?Are they the world's gold medal coach, the darling of the iron-blooded coach Fabio Capello?

Although there are suspicions of borrowing light, the support of the colorful halos of the superstars is actually the biggest contributor to Lin Zhigao's fame both at home and abroad.

The media in Southeast Asia paid more attention to the relationship between Lin Zhigao and superstars, but in Europe, the eyes of reporters were all on Armani's new commercial.

To say that an ad gives people a lasting and amazing feeling may be considered exaggerated by some people, but people who have seen this Armani ad generally have a bright feeling-bright colors, warm The emotional atmosphere of the two protagonists, the young but real performances of the two protagonists, and all the people watching this advertisement always feel that there is an indescribable, slightly weird atmosphere lingering between Lin Zhigao and Ronaldo.

The director who shot this commercial did not over-expose and beautify the picture. He chose a technique for filming MVs, lowering the tone of the whole picture, but making the colors more saturated and bright. No wonder Some people almost say that this ad looks like watching a movie trailer.

There is a term in the film and television industry called "movie face".

This term means that there is a kind of person who may have an upper-middle or even inconspicuous face in reality, but on the big screen of a 16:9 movie, they have prominent facial features, natural expressions, and a frown and smile. shine.

One of the most famous examples is the Rose of Versailles - Isabella Adjani.She was already in her 40s when she was filming "Queen Margot", but she was still very glamorous, especially her eyes, which were as clear and lively as glacier water. Heartbroken eyes."

This kind of face has very high requirements for the shape of the face. The head should be small, the facial features should be well-proportioned, the eyes should be flexible, and there should be no flaws on the face-because the movie screen widens the face and magnifies it countless times.Many TV actors look amazing and beautiful on the small screen, but when they go to make a movie, they suddenly disappear from the crowd, and they can no longer find the difference from passers-by. Those kind of people are destined not to be popular on the big screen.

What surprised reporters and the European public most was that the Lin Zhigao they saw on weekdays, who was active on the field, on TV, and in newspapers, was obviously a sunny and cheerful football boy, but why did he appear in the commercials? When I saw him in the movie, when the camera caught his gaze, it gave people a kind of smart light that could hardly be seen directly?

There are also many Europeans who left messages on the Internet saying that they always have a certain degree of face blindness towards people of yellow race. They also knew about the existence of Lin Zhigao before, but they always equated him with Shinji Kagawa and Nagatomo as playing football in Europe. Asians are confused, but since they saw Lin Zhigao's commercials, they found that their facial recognition barriers to Lin Zhigao have healed themselves!

Bundled with this ad, which is well-known in the European continent, is a sensational entertainment news-C Ronaldo broke up with his girlfriend again.

It's not uncommon for Ronaldo to dump someone. What's strange is that the reason for the breakup this time and the reporters couldn't find the reason for a while. Ronaldo himself didn't say anything, and Elena kept silent all the time, so the majority of entertainment reporters suspected that she was caught by c Luo gave the hush money, and the investigation became more and more vigorous, and even Ronaldo's recent games, schedules, and activities have attracted much attention.

What's funny is that the "Sun" reporter Gary Jeb who always had trouble with Lin Zhigao even claimed that "Maybe the reason why Ronaldo broke up with his girlfriend is because of Lin Zhigao! No star who went to the newspaper with Lin Zhigao Can't escape the ending of breaking up, Messi is like this, so is Ronaldo, Lin Zhigao is a typical "lover killer"! There is definitely a weird oriental aura in his body that we Westerners can't understand, and that kind of thing will make Lovers ended in tragedy!"

Gary Jeb's remarks made Lin Zhigao burst into laughter for a whole hour after reading it. Of course, some people just like this kind of statement very much, such as the huge rotten girl groups in China.

The success of the Armani commercial has made more European manufacturers eager to move. Whether it is for the only Asian player who has been popular in the European continent in recent years, or for the vast Chinese market behind Lin Zhigao, they have all cooperated with Lin Zhigao. mind.

……

Lin Zhigao always felt that the success of the Armani advertisement was a good thing for him, but he never expected that this would even put him in a chastity crisis!

During the 35th round of the Serie A match against Lecce, Lin Zhigao was standing in the mixed zone while waiting for the game to start, while chatting with Iaquinta, at this moment, he suddenly rushed down from the stands behind the fans People, stand behind Lin Zhigao and hug him tightly!

It was a brown-haired female fan, half a head taller than Lin Zhigao, and her waist was even thicker than that of Quinta. When she hugged her thick arms, Lin Zhigao was wrapped in her arms!

But it's not just as simple as just hugging, the big and thick female fan suddenly reached out and fumbled under Lin Zhigao's jersey, and even tried to put her hand into his lower body shorts!

God!

Lin Zhigao was petrified at the time, and he was stunned for several seconds before he realized that the rough palm scurrying around in his jersey made him feel goosebumps all over his body, so he was quick-witted, and then grabbed the female fan with his right hand The paw came and fell over the shoulder!

However, the weight of the female fan was too high, and Lin Zhigao didn't throw her down.So he put in more effort, and finally subdued the opponent to the ground before his own underwear was about to be caught by a salty pig.

Iaquinta, who was standing beside Lin Zhigao, was also stunned. He stammered and looked at the female fan on the ground and said, "Hey, what's going on here?"

Almost all the people in the mixed area also rushed over, looking at the female fan who was struggling under Lin Zhi's hands with curious eyes, and the place was crowded for a while.

The police officers in charge of maintaining law and order in the stadium rushed over quickly. They separated the crowd and came up and asked, "What happened, gentlemen?"

Lin Zhigao pointed to the female fan on the ground. In order to prevent the opponent from resisting, he kept putting his knee on the opponent's waist to prevent the opponent from getting up from the ground.

"She..." Lin Zhigao spat out a few words with some embarrassment: "She wants to take off my jersey."

The policemen thought they had heard it wrong: "What did you say, sir?"

"This female fan is molesting Lin!" Iaquinta came out at the right time, explaining: "Just now I was standing here talking to Lin, and then this female fan suddenly rushed up from behind, threw herself on Lin, and hugged him tightly. , Not only fumbled, but also wanted to take off his clothes. God, I didn’t expect a woman to have such great strength, Lin resisted her twice before breaking free.”

The policemen looked at each other, and then rushed over to hold the female fan under Lin Zhigao's legs, and asked her, "Who are you? Where are you from? Why did you, uh, attack Lin?"

"I didn't intend to attack him!" The female fan was finally honest when she saw the police coming, she stood up obediently, let the police grab her arm, and retorted: "I just want to see how his skin is Not as good as advertised!"

The police + all the onlookers: what? !

"He seems to glow on TV, his skin is more delicate than anyone I've ever seen, so just now I just wanted to make sure if he was beautified by post-production on TV." In order to prove herself, the female fans even raised "I have to go to the beauty salon once a week, but it still doesn't look as good as his skin, gentlemen, I just don't believe it!"

The eyes of the people around glanced at the female fan's honey-colored round, but slightly dry and rough arm with extra-large pores, and then at Lin Zhigao's dazzling white arm, which looked slippery. The amazed group fell silent.

"You're lying!" Lin Zhigao retorted with a feverish face: "You're still trying to take off my jersey!"

"I just wanted to see if the hair on your body is flourishing or not!" the female fan yelled, "I have to shave every three days, why does the hair on your thighs and arms look so sparse! Even you You don’t even have hair on your chest! It’s too unfair for a woman to exist like you!”

The voice of the female fan at the end was too loud, and the brains of the people standing around her suddenly echoed: It's too unfair...It's too unfair...It's too unfair...

At this moment, a policeman said dryly: "Ma'am, have you overlooked that Lin is Asian?"

The female fan shook her head, wanting to continue to refute, but Lin Zhigao was already having a headache and wanted to run away.Iaquinta's expression was also twitching violently. He couldn't help but said to the police: "Can this lady be asked to leave the court? We are going to play, gentlemen."

Only then did the police realize their responsibilities, and they dragged the reluctant female fans to the field.

The confusion was resolved, but after this incident, no one in the arena looked at Lin Zhigao with normal eyes—teammates, opponents, fans, and even the referee, Lin Zhigao felt that their eyes were strange.

Lin Zhigao dared to swear that it was definitely not his illusion, because their eyes were all on his arms, thighs, chest, and even his lower body!

And after the game, Decherie approached Lin Zhigao with a wretched smile and said, "When I met you in the men's room, why did I forget to take a good look at our Lin? Ha, I decided to start from today. First of all, I have to take a good look at you, maybe your female fans want to buy your information from me! For example...hehe..."

In return, Lin Zhigao punched him directly.

And when Lin Zhigao was blocked by a reporter at the door of his house two days later, and saw a football-sized object with a trophy in his hand, he couldn't help but sighed——

God, you are playing with me!
