After everything was ready, reporter Liu Jun said to Zhang Yifei with a professional smile on his face: "Hello, Zhang Yifei, first of all, congratulations on winning the championship of the Renault European Cup Manikul Circuit. ”

And just yesterday, the founder of the Prost team announced that he would give you an official driver contract for the F1 team. If all goes well, you will become the first F1 driver in Chinese history, how do you feel about that? ”

The news of Prost's signing with Zhang Yifei has not yet been officially announced by the media conference, so CCTV reporters don't know that there will be such a question.

"I'm naturally happy to be an F1 driver, it's always been my dream."

Zhang Yifei replied politely, after all, he was on CCTV, and he was a little restrained at first.

"Zhang Yifei, in fact, you are still very unfamiliar to domestic audiences. It is like being born out of thin air, creating the history of Chinese racing. And with six professional races, swept the Renault European Championship and got an F1 driver's contract, how do you think you did that? ”

"Strength."

Zhang Yifei hesitated for a moment, and added: "Absolute strength!" ”

When I asked the first question, Zhang Yifei was still a little restrained, and he spoke politely because I was very happy.

But when this question came out, especially when Liu Jun said that the domestic audience was very unfamiliar with him, Zhang Yifei suddenly had a feeling that he could no longer conduct such a mediocre interview.

Because only by really standing on the European track, Zhang Yifei can personally feel the stereotype of some foreigners for Chinese.

They think that Chinese should be low-key, modest, and modest, and then evolve into a kind of good bullying, and you can only accept the praise I give you. I don't give you praise, you can't take it yourself, and you can't be arrogant and proud!

In the back, even many Chinese people themselves believe that when they go abroad, they should be low-key, do not fight or grab, maintain an elegant and easy-going image, and leave a good impression of Chinese to foreigners.

Statements such as what I am the strongest and I have won this championship are true temperament when placed on foreigners, and arrogant and arrogant when placed on Chinese athletes.

I'll go to your sister's, Zhang Yifei thinks that he came to Europe to race cars, not to be some grandson.

If competitive sports don't have the blood of Lao Tzu who is the first in the world, and the racers don't have the spirit of playing with their lives and meeting the brave on a narrow road, then what else do you play competitive sports, and do you really believe that friendship is the first and the competition is second?

If you really want to be second in the competition, pretend to be modest, and satisfy some foreigners' sense of superiority. Maybe they will praise you a word or two on the surface, but behind the scenes, they still don't think that the Chinese are not good, and think that this driver is a waste?

Two painless compliments have a fart use, only by conquering them with strength will they be in awe from the bottom of their hearts!

So Zhang Yifei doesn't want to say some modest nonsense, which is no different from the image of Chinese athletes in the past. It is precisely because the domestic audience is unfamiliar with themselves and has not yet formed a fixed impression that Zhang Yifei can show another side.

That is, he can get the F1 driver contract, that is, the strength is stronger than the opponent, relying on the victory on the track, conquering the F1 team owner, and reaching a gambling agreement.

Facts have proved that Chinese drivers are not weak, and they can still stand at the pinnacle of world racing!

Zhang Yifei knew that if he did this, he might suffer a lot of criticism in a short time, after all, this kind of arrogant attitude was not acceptable at once. But in the long run, at least I have established a strong image, and if other Chinese drivers come to the European circuit in the future, they don't need to be conservative and cringe!

Hearing Zhang Yifei's words, the entire CCTV interview team was stunned, after all, it is 1999, China is far from having the strength it will have 20 years later, and most people have no confidence in their hearts.

They have interviewed athletes with personalities, but they have never seen such a direct and arrogant athlete as Zhang Yifei. You must know that most athletes try to show a kind of humility when they face the camera interview, so as to avoid becoming a black spot in the future.

As a result, Zhang Yifei had no scruples, and directly said it with absolute strength, breaking the habitual impression of the CCTV interview team in the interview team's mind.

However, the reporters who can be selected to come to the overseas program center are undoubtedly some elites, although Liu Jun was very surprised, and even stunned for a few seconds, he still reacted quickly, and said in a tone that helped Zhang Yifei explain.

"Of course, it's all about the strength of the track, especially for the young drivers, with a sense of vigor and sharpness, which is actually a good thing."

Liu Jun thinks that Zhang Yifei is still too young and does not have too much interview experience, so he shows a kind of youthful frivolity.

So he used this passage to ease the sharpness in Zhang Yifei's answer. In his opinion, he was helping Zhang Yifei.

At the same time, Liu Jun immediately changed the topic and continued to ask: "If nothing else, you will enter the F1 team next season, Zhang Yifei, do you have any goals for your future development?" ”

"The car god."

During the previous interview on the Manikul Circuit, a reporter also asked Zhang Yifei's goal, and Zhang Yifei did not hesitate to say that his goal was the car god.

At that time, Zhang Yifei did not restrain himself in front of foreigners, and today he does not plan to pretend to be modest, how to answer, it is still the same.

"The god of cars? You mean you want to win the drivers' championship, in fact, this is understandable, Napoleon also said that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. As an F1 driver, the Natural Drivers' Championship is your future goal. ”

Liu Jun felt that he was cleaning up the "mess" at this time, although it was difficult to avoid being young and vigorous, Zhang Yifei was also a little too high-profile.

If this kind of interview is released in China, Liu Jun can't imagine how much of a sensation it can cause, and the athletes who have been able to be interviewed on CCTV over the years don't seem to have this style.

"No, I have to win the drivers' championship, the car god means to surpass the championship and become the peak of F1 caring, just like Senna, can you understand?"

Hearing Zhang Yifei's words, Liu Jun felt that the smile on his face froze a little. THIS CAN NO LONGER BE DESCRIBED AS YOUNG AND VIGOROUS, IT IS SIMPLY THE WILD WORDS OF RED LUOLUO, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ROUND THE FIELD.

So at this time, Liu Jun subconsciously glanced at the director and wanted to get a hint from him.

The director glanced at Liu Jun and signaled him not to continue on these issues, so Liu Jun had to change some innocuous questions.

"Zhang Yifei, you only stayed in Hong Kong Island and Japan for a short time before, so how do you feel about living in Europe now, do you still feel comfortable?"

Hearing that the other party actually began to ask questions about life, Zhang Yifei felt a kind of disappointment in his heart, and he didn't even dare to accept this level of dialogue, so what kind of interview did he have?

Of course, Zhang Yifei can also understand that in 1999, the domestic environment may not be able to accept this kind of "deviance", especially CCTV, as a national media, has to consider a lot.

However, he still did not intend to compromise, and replied in a firm tone: "Of course I can adapt, otherwise how can I win the championship?" ”

At this time, Liu Jun felt that he had no tricks, so he glanced at the director again, wanting to signal him to record for the time being.

Maybe Zhang Yifei is too young and lacks interview experience, and his answer is a little sharp, so he should pause the recording to remind him.

Seeing these eye contacts between Liu Jun and the director, how could Zhang Yifei not know what they wanted to do.

So he simply pierced this layer of window paper and said: "Reporter Liu, I know what you are thinking in your heart, but I can't do those hypocrisy against my heart and say some meaningless polite words." ”

"There's no luck on the track, and even if it is, it's part of the strength. I was able to win and get a contract as an F1 driver because I was strong enough, and there is nothing to be humble about denying. ”

"I don't want my image in China in the future to be the kind of submissive and winning a championship like luck."

"The next sentence I want to say is very important, I hope you can broadcast it then, that is, I, Zhang Yifei, can become an F1 driver, because I am stronger than other drivers, and I won it back by virtue of my strength!"

Zhang Yifei finally couldn't help but say his heart, along the way, the sweat and efforts he has paid must far surpass the European drivers competing in the same field, in order to recover the disadvantage of the starting line a little bit.

In this case, if you win it back with your ability, why must you show a modest and low-key appearance.

Even if you lose in the future, at least you will be crazy back then, which is better than being submissive for a lifetime!

This passage expressed Zhang Yifei's attitude, and also put the CCTV interview team in a difficult situation, they don't know whether such an answer can be accepted by the Chinese people, and they are not even sure whether it can be broadcast.

But in the same way, Zhang Yifei's words also touched Liu Jun a lot, this is what the young man in front of him really thinks in his heart. He doesn't want a real and energetic champion driver to become a fixed face!

Just when Liu Jun was about to discuss it with the director, he didn't expect that the director of the interview team had already made a decision.

"Xiao Liu, that's it, continue the interview!"

Liu Jun saw a firmness in the director's eyes, and perhaps he also agreed with Zhang Yifei's words.

In the next interview, Zhang Yifei was much more comfortable, at least he could speak freely without looking ahead.

Just as he thought, he fought alone in a foreign land, and he didn't admit it in the face of so many foreigners, did he not dare to show the blood and spirit that a driver should have in the face of his compatriots?

After the interview, the group came out of the small conference room, and Ah Hu and Brother Zhi were looking at Zhang Yifei with an eager face, curious about what he said to the CCTV interview team.

After all, CCTV is in the hearts of Chinese, and it is the highest level of TV.

It's just that Zhang Yifei also saw that Junko Takeda and Ukyo Yamamoto had come back and were also standing at the door, but their faces were not very good-looking.
