Chapter 153 Wonderful Man
Chen Xingyi stood on the rostrum of the football field, facing his classmates and teachers who were looking up at him. He held the flagpole with one hand and said loudly: "...Our Shuguang High School football team will definitely live up to the expectations. Trusted by all the teachers and students, bring glory to the school! Win glory to Nanhe!”
There was a camera under the stage, taking pictures from the perspective of the students. Over the edge of the rostrum, Chen Xingyi's handsome face was clearly visible.
When he said these words, the expression on his face was very serious, and there was no usual indifference and carelessness.
This made Sun Yonggang, who had been observing from the side, laugh.
Just twenty minutes ago, he and a photographer faced Chen Xingyi alone and asked him if he knew what he was going to say when he came on the court and if he was prepared.
Chen Xingyi didn't care at all that he was facing the camera. Every word and deed would be recorded. He curled his lips and said, "Isn't it just that? I can memorize it, why do I need to prepare?"
At that time, he looked nonchalant and carefree.
Later, the photographer secretly asked Sun Yonggang if it would be a good idea to record these remarks. Sun Yonggang waved his hand and told the other party that there was no problem at all. Since Chen Xingyi himself didn't think it was a big deal to say this in front of the camera, then why should they, the recorders, make decisions for the parties involved?
Now I see Chen Xingyi as a completely different person, standing on the podium and making an impassioned speech, and finally waving the flag vigorously, showing everyone the image of a qualified captain.
Sun Yonggang felt that Chen Xingyi was really a wonderful person.
When most high school students face the camera, they are either so nervous that they can't open their mouths; or they just follow the instructions for fear of saying something wrong, and they are as rigid as robots that have been programmed in advance.
However, Chen Xingyi didn't care about these at all and showed his true self to his heart's content.
Yes, it is the real him who complains in front of the camera in private, and it is also the real him who speaks in official terms in front of so many people in public.
Human beings are inherently complex creatures and cannot be characterized simply by applying a label.
In the Internet society, it may be popular to use labels to create a persona or something.
But in reality, no one survives alone.
There is actually some controversy about Chen Xingyi because his fans are too fanatical. They work hard to create various personal labels for their idols online, as if they don't make their idols into perfect people, even if they are fans, they have failed.
Sun Yonggang even felt that Chen Xingyi sometimes deliberately showed a shocking side in front of the camera in order to silence the fans.
After all, he doesn't have a management team, and he can't go online every day to guide and manage his fans. As a star in the eyes of others, confronting fans in everything may be the only way he can resist as an "idol" who is being framed.
After the documentary is aired, someone will naturally use the documentary to refute those fans and show them what the "real Chen Xingyi" is.
However, with Sun Yonggang’s understanding of the culture of Internet fan circles, there is a risk that comments like “Chen Xingyi is just a football player, what does he know about our stars?” will appear later...

After Chen Xingyi completed his oath of departure, the cheerleading club of Shuguang High School performed a cheering drill to cheer for the team. Young and beautiful girls and their strong dances ignited the atmosphere.
Then the principal came to the stage to speak.
Finally it's time to send off.
The teachers and students of the school lined up from the stadium to the bus at the school gate. All the players of the football team passed through the crowd and received the cheers and attention of the teachers and students of the school.
Then at the bus door, I shook hands with the school leaders and said goodbye before boarding the bus and setting off.
"It's so grand..." Sun Yonggang, who was riding in the same car as Shuguang High School players, looked back at the people pouring out from behind the car, waving goodbye to the leaders of Shuguang High School and the crowd of students behind them.
"It's grand this time, maybe because you are here, maybe because this is a good opportunity for us to win three consecutive championships." Chen Xingyi, who was sitting next to him, curled his lips and said, not seeming to be cold to the school's warm greetings.
Although Sun Yonggang was already very aware of Chen Xingyi's temperament, he still couldn't help but glance in the direction of the camera lens.
Then he asked: "Xingyi, aren't you afraid that your fans will be sad if your image is broadcast?"
"What's wrong with this image? Aren't they shouting 'My stars are not artificial and live real lives' all day long?" Chen Xingyi spread his hands and imitated the tone of the fans and said, "Then I will show my true and unpretentious self to They look at it. Is it possible that they all like Ye Gong? I won’t live the way they see me and the way they want me to be.”
Sun Yonggang laughed. Chen Xingyi in front of him was simply a treasure boy...
"Hey, let me tell you, the camera is on. Are you afraid of offending fans by saying this?"
"If you offend me, offend me. It's them who came to fan me, and I didn't get on the pole to beg them to fan me." Chen Xingyi snorted. "Besides, Brother Sun, I am a football player. What determines my success is my two legs, not the number of my Weibo followers, right?"
Sun Yonggang couldn't help but give Chen Xingyi a thumbs up: "Transparent! If you kick the ball well, you have everything. If you kick the ball poorly, it's useless."
"Brother Sun, the camera is still on." Chen Xingyi pointed to the photographer opposite him.
"It's okay, I will cut it off when the time comes." Sun Yonggang said with a smile.
He had only met Chen Xingyi through a few interviews before, but apart from the work-related contacts like interviews, he didn't have any more contact. This time, as the documentary crew came to Shuguang High School to follow the filming, he had many opportunities to get along with Chen Xingyi.
It also allowed him to get to know the strongest man in high school football today.
How many high school students can remain so calm and sober in his position?
Otherwise, how could he become the strongest high school student instead of someone else?
Luo Kai performed so well in the national competition and seemed to steal Chen Xingyi's limelight. Fans of the two families were quarreling.
The result?
As Luo Kai has been unable to make a breakthrough in the professional echelon, his popularity has dropped a lot.
Now looking back at Chen Xingyi's original decision to insist on playing in high school national competitions for three years before considering joining a professional team, it seems much calmer and more rational.
calm.
This is a word that many experts use when describing Chen Xingyi's performance on the field.
For a striker, he is so calm in front of goal.
When many people face opportunities, they will inevitably think too much and become overwhelmed, or they will be excited and exert too much force.
But when Chen Xingyi faced the opportunity, he was so calm that it seemed that this kid was not a high school student. He seemed to have only one thought in his mind, and that was to score goals.
Sun Yonggang still remembers what Chen Xingyi, the editor-in-chief of Goal.com at the time, said about Chen Xingyi after he led the team to two consecutive national championships and won the top scorer in the national competition twice in a row. : "Chen Xingyi is a step above all other high school players, especially in his football awareness."
Who is Tang Hao?
He has been covering Chinese professional football for 30 years and has a very deep understanding of Chinese football. Now he is the editor-in-chief of Goal.com and is mainly responsible for professional football reporting. He usually pays attention to professional players, and he also chats and laughs with the big players in Chinese professional football.
It can be said that it is very high for him to give Chen Xingyi such an evaluation.
After all, physical fitness and technical ability can be practiced in football, but football awareness determines the upper limit of a player. Players with good awareness have a high upper limit. People with poor awareness may stay like that in their lives. With hard work, they may become a first-line player, but it is very difficult to become a top player...

When the Shuguang High School football team, thousands of miles away, accompanied by the camera crew, rushed to Lingnan City, Nanling Province, where the national competition was held, at Dongchuan Middle School, the team also held a swearing-in meeting before going off to the competition.
Of course, neither Principal Zhai nor captain Yan Yan shouted any unrealistic rhetoric like "winning the championship".
Yan Yan just assured the teachers and students of the school that the team would go all out to achieve better results than the previous national competition.
But if you think about it carefully, Dongchuan Middle School already achieved the top eight results in the last national competition. It's better than the last competition. Doesn't that mean we start at the lowest semi-finals? We have already reached the semi-finals. If we take one more step, wouldn't we reach the finals?
But in the atmosphere at the time, no one thought too much about it.
After the swearing-in ceremony, the players from Dongchuan Middle School boarded the bus and flew to Jincheng to fly to Lingnan City.
The national competition belonging to this group of football teenagers is about to begin. (End of chapter)
