When he entered the hotel, Zhang Yifei looked at the clock hanging above the front desk. It was already past twelve o'clock in the United States time.

He arrived at the hotel parking lot at about 7 o'clock, but unexpectedly, he closed his eyes and rested, and slept for nearly five hours. It was true that the time difference between running and not sleeping for a night, Zhang Yifei was too tired.

Henry was sitting in the hotel lobby. When he saw Zhang Yifei coming in, he leaned over and handed over a room card and said, "You live in Room 507 on the 16th floor, go in and wash and prepare."

"In addition, the interview area of ​​Time magazine is in the conference room on the second floor. Now it has been almost arranged, so try to speed up."

"I know."

Zhang Yifei nodded and took the elevator directly after receiving the room card. He has always been an efficient and simple person, so he doesn't like to be late and let others wait for too long.

When he returned to the room, Zhang Yifei briefly dressed up a few times, then changed into a dress and went to the conference room on the second floor of the hotel. He pushed open the door and went in. There were more than a dozen people standing there, all kinds of lighting, radio and shooting equipment neatly arranged, and he was waiting for Zhang Yifei to come in for an interview.

Seeing Zhang Yifei coming in, Thomas, the interview host of Time magazine, came up to say hello.

"Hello, Fei, welcome to the interview with Time magazine. I am Thomas, the host of this interview."

"Hello, thank you very much for your interview with me."

Zhang Yifei also greeted him politely.

"What else do you need to prepare for? For example, if you don't have a manuscript, our interview can start."

"No, you can start anytime."

Any media interview, as long as the relationship is not too bad, or if the media wants to attract attention, basically has a process of copying.

Both sides have a bottom line on what to ask and how to answer. Some celebrities with strict requirements will even review the manuscript before the media releases it to prevent some remarks that are not conducive to themselves.

With the status of Time magazine, it is impossible to review manuscripts, but there are usually manuscripts, so the host Thomas asked.

"Fei, you have the same personality as the comments from outside."

Hearing Thomas's words, Zhang Yifei just smiled and did not explain.

In fact, the reason why he was not aware of the manuscript was not just about personality factors, but Zhang Yifei knew very well that his right to speak was not in his hands, and it actually didn't mean much to the manuscript. What was finally published was to look at the integrity of Time magazine.

However, compared with other gossip media, the bottom line of Time magazine is not too low. At least in Zhang Yifei's impression, as long as it is not an ideological thing, it is still within the scope of acceptance.

"Okay, we'll officially start."

Thomas reminded him, and then the venue began to play the board, and the interview with Time magazine officially began.

"Mr. Zhang Yifei, first of all, thank you for accepting the interview with Times Magazine. As the new F1 champion driver of the Austrian Grand Prix, what are your views and goals for the American Grand Prix?"

"The goal is naturally unsurprising. No driver is not fighting for the championship, so I want to win a second consecutive championship. As for what I think about the US Grand Prix, there is not yet. You should know that I arrived in the US last night and just experienced some unpleasant things."

Zhang Yifei believes that for magazines of the size of Time magazine, he should have already grasped the matter of entering the police station because of blackmail, so he did not hide it.

"It seems that you are ready to win the American Grand Prix championship, but do you know that Montoya won the 84th Indy 500 World Championship at the Indianapolis Track, and Villeneuve is also the youngest champion in the history of Indy 500. They have very strong competitiveness on this track."

"I know, but does this have anything to do with f1?"

Zhang Yifei replied lightly, not taking Montoya and Villeneuve seriously at all.

Needless to say, Montoya is now available to describe Zhang Yifei as his defeated future.

As for Villeneuve, Zhang Yifei has never had any fierce duel with him, because in the games he participated in this season, he was in the back position and had no competitiveness.

Although this guy's historical achievements are really a scary level, super star, genius driver and other titles are all applicable to him. But Villeneuve was so devastated that he was so quickly, he was faster than hurting Zhongyong. After winning the F1 World Championship, he became a stage where he had no such person in just one or two years.

For example, when this guy entered F1 in 1996, the rookie had the second highest total points in the season. With the youngest Indy 500 world champion, he is a super rookie, without any moisture, and he doesn't even have a new player who is qualified to compare.

He went further in 1997, won the world championship title, and reached the peak of his career, but he also entered a decline stage since then.

In 1998, he regressed to fifth place. Although he declined, his grades looked just fine, not too bad.

The earth-shaking thing in 1999 has come. This guy failed to finish the first 11 consecutive games, which is simply shocking. With this kind of start, the performance of the whole year can be imagined. He just ended up eating a zero egg and ranked last in the points ranking!

From the world championship to the last place, Villeneuve only took two years, and it was not too fast to call it an avalanche.

It is precisely because the collapse is too fast that many people still cannot accept this fact, believing that it is just a matter of state, not a matter of strength. Especially this year, Villeneuve ranked seventh in points and looks pretty good, so most car fans and media still rank him among the most competitive drivers.

To be honest, Zhang Yifei couldn't understand why Villeneuve could have collapsed like this. But unlike others, he knew that Villeneuve had no chance to turn things around, so he didn't have to pay too much attention to such an opponent.

"Fei, your attitude doesn't seem to agree with their competitiveness on the Indianapolis track."

"I agree, but I feel stronger."

Zhang Yifei was too lazy to be modest. He had won several times against his opponent, and he had no one to see him in the front row. If he had to say, I would do my best to defeat polite words like them, Zhang Yifei was really not interested in hypocrisy.

The fact is that I am stronger now, so why should I hide it if I want to win?

Thomas was actually not surprised by Zhang Yifei's attitude and response. Many American athletes have this attitude. They think they are stronger and say it out directly if they want to win. There are few moderate and restrained thinking in Eastern philosophy.

Zhang Yifei's answer, on the contrary, tends to be more familiar with the American style Thomas is more familiar with. It would be strange if he is not used to it.

"Fei, I have always had a doubt before the interview, that is, the image you show. Has anyone ever said it is inconsistent with the current traditional Chinese image?"

Thomas was not surprised by Zhang Yifei's answer, but it was surprising that in the Chinese sports world, there would be an unusual species like Zhang Yifei.

Before he joined Time magazine, he worked at the Associated Press Yanjing Office. Compared with other foreign media, he was a group of reporters who knew China very well. This is why he chose Thomas to be the host of this interview because he understood Chinese people.

When Thomas was in Yanjing, he interviewed many well-known Chinese figures, including many Chinese athletes.

Compared with Zhang Yifei, the athletes in the current Chinese system are basically the same "template" and their speeches are all official answers, for fear that foreign media will catch some tails and affect their image.

On the contrary, the Chinese driver in front of him had no scruples. Thomas even felt that he was much more direct than the American athlete he interviewed before, and said whatever he wanted.

So he was very curious. Did Zhang Yifei know that he was actually an alien?

"Of course there are, and many, and some even say that my arrogant attitude has discredited the image of the Chinese."

Zhang Yifei replied with a smile, but this time his smile was a little bitter.

Since the beginning, he has expressed a strong response to cold eyes and ridicule from abroad, he has never missed persuasion, accusation, or even abuse.

In fact, Zhang Yifei can accept these voices. After all, in this era, he can indeed be regarded as a rebellious person.

But there is one thing that Zhang Yifei cannot accept! That is, some people who seem to be "rational" stand at the height of "international" and accuse Zhang Yifei of his arrogant remarks and arrogant attitude will arouse dissatisfaction among foreigners, thereby affecting the views of "international friends" and even smearing China.

Zhang Yifei really sneered at this point. Foreigners are not your father. What do you care about them?

And then again, does foreigners care about Chinese feelings and what they think?

The answer is no!

Just like the manager of a team in NBA made a brainless remark in later generations, he ignored the support and feelings of Chinese audiences for so many years, and even sponsored a large amount of money, eating Chinese and scolding China.

Moreover, such crazy remarks have been supported by the whole United States from top to bottom. They don’t care what the Chinese think, and they fully interpret the arrogance of pointing fingers.

The reason why foreigners like traditional Chinese behavior is actually very simple, it is easy to bully, it is a soft persimmon, which can make them feel superior. After all, as long as they have no problem with their brains, they are more likely to accept the attitude of admitting their conscience and pretending to be grandchildren.

But this world is the law of the jungle, and you will never get real respect!

Zhang Yifei used his own remarks and actions to stomp some of the habitually mysterious superiority of foreigners to the ground, and then trampled and crushed them.

And through their strength, they can understand that this Chinese is a strong man. It doesn’t matter whether you are satisfied or not, but you must be respected or even awe!

Facts have proved that Zhang Yifei's theory of strong men is more effective than being a good man and a coward abroad. At least many European audiences have been conquered, and they will shout "Fei" frantically, believing that he is the strongest newcomer on the track!

"What do you think of these remarks?"

"Disdaciously, this kind of remarks can't change anything at all, and I believe that in the future you will see more and more Chinese people like me."

When talking about this, Zhang Yifei's bitter smile disappeared because he knew that with the growth of the new generation of young people, they will become stronger and more confident!
Chapter completed!
