Is the post-match press conference over?
not at all.
I originally thought that today's biggest difficulty had been successfully overcome, and everyone could just wait for a wonderful showdown with peace of mind.
But obviously, things have changed a little bit, a little accident -
The "journalist game" is actually something like this.
If the protagonist of the press conference is an unknown person, then everything will be peaceful, and the problems will revolve entirely around the game, and they will be solved quickly and neatly. Even if it is a dark horse who makes a shocking upset, the problems that come and go will still not escape those scopes, all All within the forecast range.
If the protagonist under the spotlight is a top superstar, things will be completely different. The game issue is only a small part of it, and the extension issue is the focus. Even issues that have nothing to do with the players are also on the stage, pushing the core of entertainment to death in the Internet era. To a whole new level.
The reason is not complicated.
First of all, top superstars bring their own topics, create hot spots and create gimmicks, so we should start with them. Regardless of winning or losing, there will definitely be no shortage of problems.
For example, "Edinson Cavani came to watch your game today. Did you meet in the dressing room after the game?"
For example, "We saw Anne Hathaway in the stands of the stadium. May I ask, do you have a relationship in private? It is rumored that you are good friends."
Secondly, top superstars have strong influence and have become opinion leaders. Some social issues also require their views to be solicited. They can promote the development of social issues through their own opinions and perspectives, and truly contribute to changing society. the power of.
For example, "What do you think about the massive deforestation of the Amazon forest that disrupts the ecological balance?"
For example, "The Ice Bucket Challenge is becoming popular around the world recently. Do you know anything about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)?"
As a result, the content of the entire press conference appears rich and colorful; moreover, some inexplicable questions often arise.
Of course, as a reporter, Gawain clearly understands this.
However, what Gao Wen did not expect was that his influence as a professional player had reached such a height, and an accident occurred.
Obviously, Gawain underestimated himself——
"Gaowen, you are no longer unfamiliar with away games. In this game, you should be mentally prepared against France's biggest hope of winning the championship; but in fact, the audience at the Stade Philippe-Chatier Showed a lot of support for you and the atmosphere at the game was very positive.”
"It can be seen that you have won the support of many Parisian fans. There is no doubt that this city has some of the most passionate and crazy fans in the world. They always pour all their enthusiasm into the game. Sometimes, this It’s a blessing, but sometimes, it’s not.”
"The day before yesterday, after Roger's game, an eight-year-old fan broke into the stadium, hugged Roger, and asked for an autograph. Although Roger fulfilled the little fan's wish and not only signed an autograph but also took a photo, the press release after the game At the meeting, Roger strongly condemned the security work of the event organizing committee."
"And, Roger said, this isn't the first time."
"At the Children's Day event on the opening day, security also had problems. Roger was surrounded by several children asking for autographs. The situation was chaotic for a while, but fortunately, no accidents occurred and Roger also handled the situation properly. , but the same situation continues to occur.”
"Roger said this is a problem that needs to be faced up to and corrected."
"What do you think of this?"
The foreshadowing of the question is a bit lengthy.
In the first half, Gao Wen thought that the reporter was going to repeat his old tricks and incite hatred among the home crowd, just like Melbourne, which once again put him in trouble.
But I didn't expect that there would be a follow-up.
After waiting for all the questions to end, Gawain realized that the reporter had blatantly dug a hole; moreover, he had no way to avoid this matter.
The drunkard's intention is not to drink -
The real purpose of the reporter is actually to ask Gawain to state his position and choose a team.
This year at Roland Garros, there were indeed some security problems. Not only Federer, but other players were also surrounded by fans.
But the difference is that only Federer brought it up.
At the post-match press conference the day before yesterday, Federer expressed great anger that young fans were able to break through the security blockade and enter the stadium.
Not for the fans or being a big name, but for the entire unexpected situation. Federer believed that "it's about the boundary issue." He got angry at the press conference and asked the organizing committee to pay attention and make adjustments to the security situation to avoid things going wrong. And it keeps happening again and again.
Later, tournament director Ethan responded, "What happened to Roger is not the end of the world."
Isern said that he understood Federer's mood and concerns. He sincerely apologized and admitted that this was a dereliction of security work; but at the same time, he also believed that there was no need for them to make a fuss about this matter, and there was no need to take a break. Security work.
In the end, Issern ended the whole incident in a peaceful way, "The kid has been kicked off the court and banned from Roland Garros for the rest of the year."
Although Ethan didn't say it, he thought Federer was making a fuss and trying to downplay the big deal.
However, as soon as Isern's remarks came out, they caused an uproar in the professional tennis world. For a while, everyone was discussing and everyone was expressing their opinions.
Some people think that this is really not a big deal, just a child fan. Is it necessary to go online?
Some people believe that this is not a fan issue. In fact, Federer fulfilled all the fans' wishes and did not treat the fans roughly or act big. This is an issue about security. There is no doubt that the organizers of the event did not perform their work well. Didn't get the job done.
Bustling and noisy——
There was endless debate.
Now, reporters are asking Gawain to express his position, Federer or Isern?
Obviously, things are not that simple.
Choosing Federer means condemning the poor organization of the French Open and standing on the opposite side of Isern. The four Grand Slams and the ATP are on the same side. If you offend Isern and even the French Open organizing committee, it will have consequences. Overall, the attitude of the other three Grand Slams may also change.
Not everyone has the clout to challenge these tournament organizers like Federer.
Choosing Isern means standing on the opposite side of the players' interests, not to mention that Federer is a presence echoed by the players' union. It will inevitably leave an image of "kneeling and licking the French Open" among the players, which may be in the tour locker room in the future. They encountered strange looks and special treatment.
From a negative perspective, the reporter's tirade is digging a hole for Gawain, asking him to take sides and choose a side.
From a positive perspective, Gao Wen already has enough influence on the tournament organizing committee, the players union, and even the public opinion on social networks. His remarks will also affect the opinions of others and even the direction of the entire incident. If he continues He is no longer an ordinary member of the tour.
So, how should Gawain respond?
