"...he's such a fun guy."
"I told you already, he's got an incredible sense of humor and energy on the court, and it's not the kind of funny clown trying to get attention."
"I don't know, I don't believe it, tennis players are so boring."
"But he's different, and I mean it."
"I think he's pretty good, and he's a great player."
"Ha ha!"
"Hahaha!"
In the company pantry, there was a burst of cheerful laughter, and it was obvious that the cheerful atmosphere was surging in the office. Casting his gaze, someone inside greeted him immediately.
"Mark, come over here, the Today Show is interviewing the new US Open champion."
"Mark, I remember you playing tennis on weekends, right?"
Mark-Palmer, who stopped at the door of the tea room, immediately noticed Gao Wen appearing on the TV screen, and subconsciously nodded slightly.
"I know that he, Gawain, broke the record of Sampras, the youngest US Open champion."
A short sentence, like a stone falling into a calm lake, immediately aroused layers of ripples, exclamations, surprises, and praises bustled in my ears, and I could clearly feel the surge of concern, even for tennis. Even people who have no interest in sports are no exception.
Palmer was very surprised. He stood at the door of the tea room for a while, and couldn't help laughing with everyone:
It has to be said that Gao Wen really has such a charm.
Palmer watched the US Open men's singles final and was really impressed by Gawain, but that was just the performance on the field, and Gawain defeated Cilic in straight sets - another dark horse, after all, it is not as good as beating the Big Four to reach the championship It came wonderfully, so the impression is there, but the impact is lacking.
However, seeing Gao Wen's figure on a program I am familiar with today, his performance off the court made Gao Wen's image a little bit fuller and more vivid.
"Today Show", with an average viewership of more than 4 million, is undoubtedly the best companion for North American office workers to start a new day of work in the morning, even on Wall Street, which is too busy to touch the ground.
Today, everything is even more turbulent and crazier.
Before Gao Wen appeared on the stage, the number of viewers was about 3.8 million. With Gao Wen's appearance, the number of viewers began to soar slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there was a small spike after the "Nike Moment". , and then the upward momentum slowed down again, but continued to rise.
Four million, four and a half million, four and a half million...then five million.
After a long time, the viewership of "Today's Show" broke through the 5 million mark again, and it continues to advance. The rising curve is so gratifying that the program group that pays attention to the ratings in real time is overjoyed. Both of them became excited together.
Adidas is no exception.
David Harnett is also watching the "Today Show" live broadcast. They can't see the real-time viewing figures of the show, but they can see the real-time trending searches on social networks:
With an average of 2,000 refreshed trends per second, unimaginable heat erupted during the busy morning hours, even more intense than the discussion heat when Serena Williams and Gao Wen won the championship. Countless gossip, rumors, discussions, debates, The explored text keeps swiping the screen continuously.
Crowded!
Harnett's heart was throbbing.
In the beginning, after Gawain defeated Isner in the first round, Adidas had conceived such a plan. It was the first time to sign Gao Wen first, and then Gao Wen could wear the Adidas jersey on the stage of the second round. , a strong detonation of heated discussions on social networks.
However, Adidas missed Gawain in this way, went around, and witnessed their ideas realized through Nike, and the heat broke out beyond imagination—
It's not just the news that Nike is the first to sign a contract with a history maker, but more importantly, the personal charm that Gao Wen showed on the "Today Show" program, which is a rare and valuable trait in any competitive sports. At the same time, it is also the most important potential to become a superstar.
Harnett seemed to be able to hear the bell of the exchange as Nike's stock price continued to rise, hitting Harnett's heart hard.
At this moment, Harnett finally understood their hesitation and conservatism, and what they missed. Involuntarily, the time Tobias came to Adidas to negotiate but failed, he accompanied Tobias in his mind. Yas took the elevator to the parking lot.
He can no longer remember the specific words of Tobias, but he still remembers the silence in Tobias' eyes, and then conveyed a meaning:
You will regret it.
Harnett still remembers his answer, they will not regret it, even if they missed Djokovic's contract extension, because Adidas has such capital; but now facing Tobias again, he can still be sure Say the same words?
Harnett didn't know, wasn't sure.
On the TV screen, the live broadcast of "Today Show" continued.
"...What is your greatest feeling right now?"
Raul asked a very common open-ended question, giving Gawain room to express some thoughts. This is also a standard question in the championship interview, but Gawain gave an unexpected answer again in an unusual way.
"I'm not sure I've had enough time and space to feel, you know, from yesterday to today, everything is like being thrown in the dryer and fast-forwarding, and it's turning upside down."
"I've always known the age of social media, everything is moving faster, but until today, I've never been able to experience the craziness. Like now, I'm live on the 'Today Show'?"
"Oh my God."
Compared with language~www.mtlnovel.com~ Gao Wen responded to the camera lens with a wide-eyed emoticon package, vividly and vividly conveying clarity, truth and straightforwardness, which also made Raul and Keli Both laughed.
Although Gao Wen didn't answer the question directly, there was enough emotion between the lines, and they could all understand it.
Ke Li looked at the young but experienced Gao Wen in front of her, and asked a question curiously, "So for you, what has changed?"
This is a simple question, but Kerry expects Gao Wen to give a different answer.
Sure enough, Gao Wen did not disappoint her.
"I'm looking forward to being able to say that nothing has changed, I'm still a kid just coming into the pros, I'm still trying to be a pro, I'm still looking forward to going out on the court and hitting people, but I know , this is just my own wish."
"As for what has changed, I can't tell now. Maybe, we can only know the answer when we see me on the field again after this storm is over."
