Chapter 513: The Birth of a Superstar
A hot topic around the world.
There was a constant stream of amazement, praise, and admiration; cheers, screams, and applause. For a moment, it seemed as if the eyes of the whole world were all focused on Gao Wen. From any angle, people could not help but cheer. This was undoubtedly the most important event in 2014.
Even the traditional authoritative media lost their composure and couldn't help but sigh, let alone the new era's online media? The degree of exaggeration was ten times or even a hundred times greater, spreading across different cultures, languages, and time zones, and erupting indiscriminately along the Internet.
Especially China.
The number of reposts of the championship news reports on major portals all exceeded one million. The number of views of the topic tag "2014 US Open Gao Wen wins the championship", which is the top of the hot search list, is rushing towards one billion. For a while, almost everyone was discussing tennis, which they were not familiar with.
A superstar is being born!
Then, people gradually realized that this matter was no longer just a topic on the Internet. People in real life also couldn't wait to discuss it, forcefully breaking the boundary between the Internet and reality, and introducing Internet hot spots into reality. People could deeply feel this trend after dinner.
I'm afraid there aren't many people who don't know about this news; but if there are some people who still don't know, such as middle-aged or elderly people who have no interest in sports or the Internet, for a while, even when buying vegetables in the market, you can hear discussions about tennis. They don't know what the US Open is all about, they just know that a young Chinese guy won the championship and made history, and they happily exchanged the name "Gawain".
"Have you watched the final?" will probably replace "Have you eaten?" and become the most popular choice for greetings in a short period of time.
By now, there should be no one who doesn’t know about it. After waiting for the news broadcast to end, a second wave of discussion frenzy broke out on social networks.
That night, a documentary feature was aired, featuring Gao Wen, which comprehensively recorded Gao Wen's journey, from being a U.S. champion to three consecutive Challenger titles, to missing out on the Gold Tournament and heading directly to New York to participate in the Grand Slam. His first ATP-level professional tournament in his career started with a Grand Slam.
I have to say that this topic is absolutely "a timely help" -
Everyone is talking about Gawain, but objectively speaking, the fan base of tennis in China is still growing, far from being comparable to football, basketball and other sports. So even though Gawain's name and image are everywhere, there are still many viewers who only have a limited understanding of the game.
People are eager to learn more about Gawain and tennis; the problem is that Gawain has only been around for too short a time. Even for those who are good at searching the Internet, a large number of people have no idea about Gawain, and all they keep saying are the same things over and over again.
It is against this background that this documentary feature comes into being, truly entering the world of Gao Wen through the label of "Grand Slam Champion Gao Wen".
Although the documentary feature is still a little superficial and cannot be further explored, the basic information is enough for ordinary audiences. It is like a window that allows ordinary audiences to understand what is going on with the young people who are currently sweeping the entire Internet and becoming popular all over the world.
As a result, the ratings and discussion of the documentary feature reached incredible new highs.
The best proof is that it entered the top ten of the hot search list for the first time.
We have always insisted on producing special focused documentary topics, ranging from legendary superstars to potential new stars, from popular figures who suddenly emerged to legendary figures who have gone through vicissitudes of life, from football, which has the greatest influence in the world, to table tennis, which is known as the national sport. The topics are too numerous to mention.
Moreover, the quality of these documentary features is generally good, and each of them is worth talking about individually, but unfortunately, these features often only trigger discussions among veteran fans. After all, apart from fans, few people are willing to understand these players and sports in depth.
Hot search?
How is that possible!
These documentary features are basically made "for love", and each time a feature is produced, it requires careful consideration. The dusty films piled up in the material room are piled up like a mountain, and there is a high chance that they will never be seen.
But this time, Gawain broke the barrier.
Not only did it make it to the hot search list, but it also made it into the top three! Such an outstanding performance successfully caused cheers from the entire production team. It was still hard to believe even when seeing it with one's own eyes. Their hard work was finally recognized.
When it was decided at the meeting to broadcast the documentary feature after the finals, Zhang Heng was under tremendous pressure, but now it is all worth it.
Looking at his colleagues who were beaming with joy and cheering, Zhang Heng also smiled and couldn't help but sigh, "It is indeed a legend that can only be created by the right time, right place and right people. Everything is just right."
Of course, the most important thing is that the opportunity arose and Gawain seized it.
"Coach Zhang! What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing, I just thought that if Gao Wen comes back to participate in the competition, I want to go and see it in person."
"Me too, me too!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Add me, Coach Zhang, let me go to the scene to collect materials as well!"
Zhang Heng looked at the crowd in front of him who were raising their hands and signing up enthusiastically, and couldn't help but smile happily.
There is no doubt that Gawain has become an iconic hero for the younger generation and the Internet generation. Under the halo of a series of historical records and miraculous journeys, Gawain's image has become clearer and more vivid than ever before.
In particular, Gao Wen's victory speech at the award ceremony was edited separately and spread across different social networking platforms around the world, from Europe and the United States to Asia. Like a viral video, the number of clicks skyrocketed, exceeding 50 million at an unparalleled speed, triggering incredible widespread discussion.
Not only the championship, but also the discussion about the US Open was so hot that the organizing committee was caught off guard.
and!
All this happened within twenty-four hours. It was jaw-dropping. Before I had time to savor it, I was swept forward by this torrent, opening the door to a whole new world.
