Chapter 82
With two shining gold medals, Li Tian and his teammates sat on the bus back to the hotel with great satisfaction. Mr. Roger, as the team leader, was also very happy. Not only was five of the six gold medals decided in the morning fell into the pocket of Cologne Recreation Academy, but also young players of the German national track and field team, Cademan and Walter, all had excellent results. Even his student Dennis in the national youth team, finally ignited his potential under the strong pressure of Li Tian today, running a personal best score of 100 meters and 10 seconds. He now has reason to believe that German track and field will become stronger and stronger.
"But for all the younger generation of players in the world, Li Tian, BruceLee, is a peak that is more difficult to climb than the world's first peak, Mount Everest! When will such a wizard appear in Germany?" Looking at Li Tian, who was chatting and laughing with his teammates behind him, Mr. Roger couldn't help but think with emotion.
After winning two championships, Li Tian did not relax at all. He returned to the hotel to rest at noon and walked into the gym with his teammates as usual in the afternoon. Because he had a new goal in the short term, he could not be slacking off in order to achieve this goal.
Another person who dared not slacking off was Song Mingyu's report group. As soon as he came back from the stadium, the three of them hid in the room and tried hard to sort out all the information about the morning competition. In particular, Song Mingyu knew very well that this was Li Tian's first time as a champion, which was of special significance. Master Zhang captured many wonderful moments on the scene, especially when Li Tian was wearing the national flag around the field, roaring at the podium and other precious moments in the next issue of "Sports Weekly"
He was very satisfied with the fact that he was on the front page of the newspaper. Liu Wei was quite depressed. The task of filling out thousands of envelopes fell on him. The photo of the "Tian Mi Cheering Team" taking a photo with Li Tian was washed out. However, at noon today, most of the foreign team members had already finished their holiday and left Berlin and returned to their original work and study. Facing the fact that they left all the German addresses, only Liu Wei could do this job.
Influenced by their reporting team, even the editorial department of the Sports Weekly in China was in full swing. Yesterday, when the newspaper editor Shi Junyi received information from Song Mingyu who sent back from Germany overnight, he was really shocked, because there were more than 100 copies of all the manuscripts, report materials and photos, etc., it was no wonder that Song Mingyu would yell at the request of a special issue.
The editors and reporters in the newspapers often complain that valuable news and sensational news are too little, and the layout of some monotonous news reports throughout the day is simply boring. This is a good thing. When Shi Junyi put the hundreds of extremely substantial information sent by Song Mingyu from Germany in front of them and asked them to do it all within a day, these guys' eyes turned pale and had to be so busy that they were busy. At this time, they began to deeply miss the "leisure" they usually had.
Editor-in-chief Shi Junyi was also heartbroken by the reports. In his opinion, they were all very valuable things. If these reports could be divided into several times to be published, it would definitely allow the Sports Weekly to create a high circulation for several consecutive issues. However, with the development of information and communication today, as long as Li Tian’s news is published tomorrow, other domestic media will be moved. In order to seize the most valuable news reports, Shi Junyi had to let his editors eliminate some slightly less sensational news.
However, this seemingly simple work also made the editors of the editorial department embarrassed for a while. In their opinion, this article is very good and that report is also very good. They feel a pity no matter which article is reduced, and the number of it is still far greater than Shi Junyi's request. The direct consequence is that the entire newspaper's layout is planned to be replaced in this issue, and some reports that have no highlights at home and abroad were deleted, and all the vacant pages were filled with Li Tian's news. In this way, the report about Li Tian accounted for more than one-third of the space in this issue of "Sports Weekly", and the very thing is a compressed version of Li Tian's personal special issue.
"I knew it would be like this, I would rather agree to Song Mingyu to make a special issue!" Shi Junyi, who was sitting in the office, thought with a wry smile, but now he has no time even if he wants to do it. At this time, Deputy Editor Huang from the newspaper hurriedly pushed open the door of the editor-in-chief's office and walked in quickly.
"Old Shi! Have you made a mistake in the report from the printing factory below? It says that this issue of the Sports Weekly requires 4 million copies to be printed, which is twice the amount of the usual amount!" Deputy Editor Huang asked on Shi Junyi's desk.
"I'm not mistaken. I personally approved this report. This issue contains Li Tian's news that is substantial. I think there may be a new breakthrough in the circulation."
"But will there be a little more? You should know that when the Chinese team qualified for the last World Cup, our highest single-item circulation record was only 2.8 million copies. Even Li Tian's news is very valuable, but it is less sensational than that time!"
"Although there is less sensation, you almost miss the exclusiveness of the news. The last World Cup was followed by all domestic media. But as far as I know, our main opponents did not attract much attention, and they would never think that we would send a report team to Germany to collect information. This time, we will use Li Tian's exclusive news to create a higher distribution record for the Sports Weekly, which will increase the reputation of our newspaper to a higher level." Shi Junyi said excitedly. If it can really set a record of 4 million copies issued in a single period, then Sports Weekly can leave the major competitors such as Football, Contemporary Sports, etc. far behind.
In January, most parts of China were still in a cold state. The coldness of the morning made many people reluctant to leave their warm homes. At this time, 4 million "Sports Weekly" were sent to tens of thousands of newspaper sales kiosks across the country early.
Wang Jing, who is in his thirties, is an ordinary state-owned enterprise employee. He loves sports and his morning jogging every day is an indispensable part of his life. Buying a "Sports Weekly" at the newsstand at the entrance of a residential community every Monday morning has become a habit for him for many years.
"Uncle Yang! Give me a "Sports Weekly Newspaper"..., Uncle Yang..." Today, as usual, Wang Jing took out the prepared 150 cents from his pocket, but he called out several times. Uncle Yang, who was selling the newspaper, seemed to have not seen it. He sat on a small chair wearing a pair of reading glasses, staring at the "Sports Weekly Newspaper" in his hand without raising his head.
"Uncle Yang!" In the end, Wang Jing had to shout in his own loud voice, but Uncle Yang was still unwilling to raise his head, so he said casually - "If you want to buy a newspaper, take it yourself!" His eyes had no intention of leaving the newspaper.
"Has Mr. Yang won the 5 million prize in the football lottery? Or is it so fascinating for him?" Wang Jing put the money on the table of the newsstand with a random thought, and took out a "Sports Weekly" from it, and glanced at the front page casually. In this moment, Wang Jing's pupils suddenly widened. What did he see? The head of the newspaper was a photo of a Chinese player holding the championship trophy. Judging from his teammates and environment, this was discovered abroad. Wang Jing couldn't wait to continue looking at the relevant reports below. Explosive news impacted his spirit. In the cold wind in the morning, he kept standing quietly in front of the newsstand, staring at the newspaper in his hand without blinking.
