Chapter 149 As the flag bearer of the opening ceremony, honor the ancestors!
Bingbing was so easily included in the Weibo hot search that many celebrities spend money on, but the latter and everyone else who participated in the group photo felt a little uneasy.
After all, they are not public figures. No one knows what kind of impact the sudden fame will have on their work and life. Especially as they are working in the journalists and media industry, they know very well that sometimes fame does not always bring good things.

…
The CCTV interview is over, and the training of the Chinese men's basketball team is almost complete.
The time has come to the end of July, and the Rio Olympics is about to begin.
The Chinese men's basketball team boarded a special plane to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, together with other national athletes participating in the Olympic Games.
On August 3, BJ time, the Chinese Olympic delegation officially moved into the Rio Olympic Village and held a live broadcast of the flag-raising ceremony that evening.
At the same time, Liu Peng, head of the Chinese sports delegation, confirmed that the flag bearer at the Olympic opening ceremony will be basketball player Wang Feng.
This result is not surprising to anyone.
Wang Feng’s popularity in China is so high now. Even a simple photo of him with his fans on Weibo a few days ago became a hot topic on Weibo in a short time and remained at the top. Such popularity is almost
To an incredible point.
Of course, when being interviewed by reporters, Liu Peng, the head of the delegation, could not say this.
"Sports has comprehensive functions. It is not only a competitive competition, but also a comprehensive manifestation of the comprehensive quality of spiritual civilization. It is also the image of Chinese athletes and Chinese sports. Based on these, we believe that Wang Feng is very suitable to serve as the flag bearer."
Am I considered a proud ancestor?
Wang Feng, who was successfully elected as the flag bearer, thought happily.
This feeling is completely different from winning the NBA championship.
Especially during the opening ceremony rehearsal, the moment Wang Feng picked up the bright red flag, he immediately felt the weight in his hands.
At this moment, he represents the entire country, a huge country with a population of 1.4 billion. This deep sense of pride cannot be described in words!
…
One day later, CCTV released a special series of interviews with the Olympic Games, which also included interviews with the Chinese men's basketball team.
Although the interview and shooting lasted for two days, after post-editing, it only lasted for tens of minutes. After all, there are many representative sports in China, such as table tennis, volleyball, etc., so it is impossible to put all the time into one
on the project.
After deleting the 12 members of the men's basketball team, only interviews with a few well-known players were retained, including Arab League, Zhou Qi, Guo Ailun, etc. Of course, Wang Feng is also indispensable, or his interview is the longest.
As for the content of the interview, what attracted the most attention to the audience was the answers given by the players when the host asked all the players what their goals for this Olympics were.
Disappointingly, among the 12 players, including the head coach and team leader, only the United Arab Emirates once again shouted the slogan of securing eight points and fighting for four.
Guarantee eight and fight for four!
This long-lost slogan made many older Chinese fans burst into tears and sigh helplessly.
The last time the Chinese men's basketball team entered the quarterfinals was at the 2008 Capital Olympics. It has been eight years since then!
"The current men's basketball team is really worse than the previous generation. Now they don't even dare to say such a thing. They are afraid of taking responsibility. How can we expect them to work hard on the field? How can they win if they don't work hard?"
"Huh, I think they just make too much money, but they don't dare to work too hard in this kind of competition. What's the point of bringing glory to the country? What if an injury affects their future career and they can't sign a big contract to make money? I'm afraid.
Most people here think like this! In some previous games, I discovered that some people are so big that they don’t even dare to grab a rebound, right?"
"Huh? That's wrong? Why is there no Wang Feng in the interview? Didn't the host ask him this question?"
"No way? Wang Feng is the most promising player on this team, how could we ignore him?"
"Is it possible that he is like other people and only talks about his style and level and other useless things? CCTV was afraid that it would damage morale too much, so he was cut off?"
"It's really possible! After all, although Wang Feng won two championships in the NBA, he only relied on stars like Curry and Thompson of the Warriors. He has never proven himself by leading a team alone. Let him lead the Chinese team
I’m afraid he himself doesn’t have much confidence in the national men’s basketball team’s results, right?”
The benefits of being popular are obvious, but the disadvantages are also obvious.
Wang Feng has a very large fan base in China, and is also accompanied by a large number of anti-fans and some malicious trolls. They will watch every detail of Wang Feng, and they will immediately hold on to anything that is slightly wrong.
I wish I could ruin Wang Feng's reputation directly with this little black mark.
In a very short period of time, a round of scolding wars broke out on the Internet because of Wang Feng's controversial topic.
Far away in Rio de Janeiro, Wang Feng turned off all social tools and concentrated on preparing for the group stage. He didn't know what happened, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Wang Feng, who traveled from 2022, knows very well what the Internet is like. It is now 2016, and the situation is slightly better. In a few years, this situation will become insane.
On August 5, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games officially began.
Wang Feng, as the flag bearer of the Chinese delegation, walked at the front holding the national flag high.
Sitting in front of the TV and watching this scene, Wang Feng's parents couldn't help but burst into tears. "This is our child!"
At this moment, both of their hearts were filled with pride.
In the past two years, Wang Feng won two NBA championships, won numerous honors, signed a large contract of US$18 million, and became a young billionaire. The two elders were only relieved and did not have any intuitive feelings.
But now, in front of the TV, watching the national live broadcast, my son holding the national flag high and walking at the front, the pride comes from the bottom of my heart!
"Old guy, our child has a future! Your efforts are worth it!"
Wang Feng's mother choked and said.
"Yes!" Wang Feng's father was filled with emotion.
At that time, he did not hesitate to sell iron and money to send Wang Feng to study abroad, and systematically trained basketball. He also hesitated and struggled, and many people around him even laughed at his ignorance.
"Old Wang, has your son become famous in the United States?"
"It's better to let your child return to China to develop. After all, he is a returnee from overseas. By the way, what major is he studying? Oh? Basketball... haha."
Wang Feng did not disappoint him!
Now, all relatives and friends can see his son representing the country and winning glory for the country in front of the TV. This is a real feeling of pride! No, it is a glorious ancestor!
…
The opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics lasted for nearly 4 hours. As Olympic life was ignited, the Olympic games will officially start on the next day!
