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 Renault European Cup Manicur Track championship."

"And just yesterday, the founder of Prost team announced that you will give you the official driver contract for the F1 team. If everything goes well, you will become the first F1 driver in Chinese history. How are you feeling now for this?"

The news of Prost and Zhang Yifei's signing of the contract has not been officially announced by the media conference, so CCTV reporters did not know that so there would be such a question.

"Of course I'm very happy that being an F1 driver has always been my dream."

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

"Zhang Yifei, in fact, you are still very unfamiliar to domestic audiences. Just like you emerged from the sky, creating the history of Chinese racing. And with six professional events, they swept the European Cup and won the F1 driver contract. How do you think you did this?"

"strength."

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

When I was the first question, Zhang Yifei was still a little restrained, and he was also a polite word for me.

But when Liu Jun said that domestic audiences were unfamiliar with him, Zhang Yifei suddenly felt that he could no longer have such a moderate interview.

Because only by truly standing on the European track can Zhang Yifei personally feel the stereotypes of some foreigners about the Chinese.

They think that Chinese people should be low-key, humble, and moderate, and then they will evolve into a kind of bullying that you can only accept the praise I give you. If I don’t praise you, you can’t take it yourself, nor can you be arrogant and proud!

Later, many Chinese people even believed it themselves. When they went abroad, they should be low-key, not compete or compete, maintain a gentle and easy-going image, and leave a good impression of a Chinese to foreigners.

Remarks like I am the strongest, I have decided to win this champion, such as foreigners, which means true temperament, and Chinese athletes means arrogant and arrogant.

I'm going to your sister. Zhang Yifei feels that he is racing in Europe, not as a grandson.

If competitive sports do not have the bloodiness of the world's number one, and the racers do not have the spirit of sword-drawing that of the brave and the brave ones who meet on a narrow road, then what other competitive sports do you play? Do you really believe in friendship first and competition second?

If you really want to be the second in the competition, pretending to be modest, which will satisfy some foreigners' sense of superiority. Maybe they will praise you one or two words on the surface, but behind their backs, do you think that the Chinese are not good, and that this driver is a waste?

Two words of praise that are not painful can make a fuss. Only by conquering them with their strength can you be in awe from the bottom of your heart!

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

That is, you can get the F1 driver contract, which means you are stronger than your opponent. With the victory over the track, you conquered the F1 team boss and reached a bet agreement.

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

Zhang Yifei knew that he might be criticized for a short time when he did this. After all, this arrogant attitude is not acceptable at once. But in the long run, at least he has established a strong image. If other Chinese drivers come to the European track in the future, they no longer need to be conservative or cringe!

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

They have interviewed athletes with personality, but they have never seen them as direct and arrogant as Zhang Yifei. You should know that most athletes try to show a sense of modesty when interviewing the camera to avoid becoming a black spot in the future.

As a result, Zhang Yifei said it with absolute strength without any scruples, breaking the CCTV interview team's impression of the habits in the interview team's mind.

However, the reporters who can choose to come to the overseas program center are undoubtedly elites. Although Liu Jun was very surprised and even stunned for a few seconds, he still quickly reacted and said in a tone of explaining to Zhang Yifei.

"Of course, the ability to win on the track is because of strength, especially for young drivers, they all have a kind of vitality and aura, which is actually a good thing."

Liu Jun thought that Zhang Yifei was still too young and did not have too much interview experience, so he showed a kind of youthful recklessness.

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 his question and continued to ask: "If nothing unexpected happens, he will enter the F1 team next season. Zhang Yifei, do you have any goals for your future development?"

"Car God."

During the interview with Manicur Raceway before, a reporter also asked Zhang Yifei about his goal. At that time, Zhang Yifei said without hesitation that his goal was the God of Cars.

At that time, Zhang Yifei did not restrain himself in front of the foreigner. Today, he did not intend to pretend to be modest. How should he answer? It was still the same.

"Car God? You mean you want to win the driver championship. Actually, 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 driver championship is naturally his future goal."

At this time, Liu Jun felt that he was cleaning up the "message". Although it is difficult to avoid being young and energetic, Zhang Yifei was a little too high-profile.

If this kind of interview was released in China, Liu Jun could not imagine how much sensation it would cause. The athletes who have been interviewed on CCTV over the years seem to have no such style.

"No, I must win the driver's championship. The car god means to surpass the championship and become the peak that people look up to in the F1 car world. Just like Senna, can you understand?"

When Liu Jun heard Zhang Yifei's words, he felt that the smile on his face was a little froze. This could no longer be described as young and energetic. It was simply a crazy statement from Chiluoluo, and he didn't know how to smooth things over.

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

The director winked at Liu Jun and signaled him not to continue these issues, so Liu Jun had to change to some irrelevant problems.

"Zhang Yifei, you just stayed in Hong Kong Island and Japan for a short time before. How do you feel about life in Europe now? Do you still feel adapted to it?"

When Zhang Yifei heard that the other party actually started asking questions about life, he felt disappointed in his heart. He didn't even dare to accept this level of conversation. So why do you have an exclusive interview?

Of course, Zhang Yifei could understand that in 1999 the domestic environment might not be able to accept this kind of "deviant" situation, especially as a national media, CCTV had 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 could I win the championship?"

Now Liu Jun felt that he had no idea. He glanced at the director again and wanted to signal him to record for the time being.

Maybe Zhang Yifei is too young and really lacks interview experience. His answers are a bit sharp. He should pause the recording and 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 the window paper and said, "Reporter Liu, I know what you are thinking, but I can't do those hypocrisy that goes against my will and say meaningless polite words."

"There is no luck on the track, even if there is, it is part of strength. I can win and get the contract for the F1 driver because I am strong enough, and there is nothing to be humble or deny about."

"I don't want my image in China in the future to be so timid and winning a championship is like a lucky pick."

"The sentence I want to say below 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 won back with my dignified strength!"

Zhang Yifei finally couldn't help but express his thoughts. Along the way, the sweat and hard work he had put in far exceeding that of European drivers in the same field, so that he could recover the disadvantages of the starting line little by little.

If that is the case, why do you have to look humble and low-key if you win back with your ability?

Even if you lose in the future, at least you will be crazy back then, it is better than Wei Niu Nuonuo for the rest of your life!

This passage expresses Zhang Yifei's attitude and also puts the CCTV interview team in a dilemma. They don't know whether such an answer can be accepted by the Chinese people or even whether it can be broadcast.

But in the same way, Zhang Yifei's words also touched Liu Jun very much. 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 planning to discuss 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 sense of firmness in the director's eyes, and perhaps he also agreed with Zhang Yifei's words.

In the next interview, Zhang Yifei felt much more comfortable, at least he could speak freely without having to look back and forth.

Just as he thought, he fought alone in a foreign land and had never admitted his conscience against so many foreigners. Do he not dare to show the blood and spirit of a driver when facing his compatriots?

After the interview, the group came out of the small conference room. At the door, Ah Hu and Zhi Ge and others were looking at Zhang Yifei with eager expressions, curious about what he said to the CCTV interview team.

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