Chapter 657: Many Levels

Advertisements are interesting and important, but if they can choose, people still prefer soft ads to hard ads, just like now.

"Oh, I know, you guys are expecting me to take a picture with it, but I won't let you succeed."

Gao Wen said this with a serious expression, and the more sincere his expression was, the more outstanding the comedy effect was.

What then? If the conversation ended here, Gawain would have amused the reporters and eased the atmosphere, but he would have offended the sponsors.

Evian will probably lodge a righteous protest to Tobias, and the other sponsors will probably not be in a good mood either.

Of course, Gao Wen would not stop there.

As he was talking, Gao Wen formally sat down, then silently took a bottle of mineral water, and without saying anything special, he unscrewed the cap and started drinking water.

Originally, drinking water is just drinking water, it is a normal behavior, nothing special; but at this time, Gawain seemed to be thirsty, very thirsty.

Gurgle gurgle.

A 500 ml bottle of mineral water was poured down his throat in one go, and at a slow speed, he kept pouring it in full view of everyone, so that the rustling noises from the reporters died down, and then everyone's eyes slowly turned to Gao Wen.

The whole audience, live broadcast, Gao Wen drinks water.

Click.

Finally, someone couldn't help but press the shutter, recording this moment in the silent atmosphere.

What is certain is that the advertising effect of this scene is absolutely outstanding. It can score 101 out of 100, and there is no need to worry about Gao Wen being proud and cocky.

Gurgle.

Some people even couldn't help but feel thirsty and swallowed their saliva before they realized how clever Gawain's move was.

After finishing the whole bottle of water, Gao Wen put the mineral water bottle aside without saying anything else, as if he had just completed a very normal and simple action, and gave a bright smile to the reporters.

"Thanks for your patience, I'm ready."

If Gao Wen said any advertising slogans at this time, it would be too stiff and too greasy, too much is as bad as too little; but Gao Wen wisely chose to stop at the right time, and the tacit understanding remained in each other's hearts, which made the whole paragraph come alive.

It can be imagined that the sponsor should have a satisfied expression on his face at this time: add chicken legs.

Before the pre-match press conference began, a relaxed atmosphere filled Press Conference Room No. 1. While waiting for the press officer to announce the official start of the interview session, all the reporters raised their hands at almost the same time. The scene was so orderly and spectacular that Gao Wen couldn't help but make a joke.

"You should know that the questions everyone wants to ask are actually similar, right?"

They looked at each other in bewilderment, yet couldn't help laughing.

"Hello, I'm Yu Jia from CCTV, I'd like to ask..."

Yu Jia did not expect that he would be the first to be called. It seemed that the press officer of the Paris Masters also noticed the obvious proportion of Asian faces at the scene. Even though it was now time for questions in English, he still hoped that everyone would participate.

Ever since Gao Wen became the first Chinese mainland player to win a Grand Slam main draw at the US Open, Yu Jia has witnessed Gao Wen's growth: not only the Grand Slam championship, but also the struggles in the Asian season, the recovery in the European indoor season, and now, just imagining it, can't help but get excited.

Even though it's not the first time, I'm still excited to try it.

"…What do you think about the year-end finals spot?"

"According to the latest championship standings, you are still in the race for a spot in the year-end finals, but the conditions are more stringent."

Yu Jia still couldn't believe it——

So far, Li Na is still the only Asian player to appear on the singles stage of the men's and women's professional tennis year-end finals.

Who could have thought that Gawain's sudden appearance would break down barriers one after another in just a few months and lead him to where he is now.

Last week, there were many unexpected upsets in the match between Valencia and Basel, but there were still players who achieved breakthroughs.

In the Basel station, the top four players were Federer, Karlovic, Goffin and Kei Nishikori, and Federer finally won the championship.

After the points settlement of a week's competition, the ranking of the top eight in the championship standings changed again. Although Gawain unfortunately missed the Valencia championship, he still has a glimmer of hope in theory.

As soon as Yu Jia finished asking the first question, all the reporters' eyes turned to Gao Wen.

Obviously, this is the issue that everyone is most concerned about and most urgent.

Why was the pre-match press conference so lively today? Not only Gao Wen’s press conference, but also the direct competitors for the year-end finals seats such as Ferrer, Kei Nishikori, Raonic, Dimitrov, Cilic, etc., all received such treatment.

After all, such a scene has not been seen for many years.

Although it is customary for the competition in the year-end finals to end with the Paris Masters, in recent years, the competition for the seventh and eighth seats has often been fierce, and the number of players participating in the competition has been relatively limited; however, this year, with seven players competing for three seats, it is indeed very lively.

Of course, because of the brand sponsors, Gao Wen's pre-match press conference was even more lively, and the sheer number of people was staggering.

Gao Wen could clearly feel the surging gazes of the entire audience, burning, restless, and surging.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

He shrugged slightly and spread his hands.

"Look, everyone is concerned about similar issues. Are you sure you don't have any other questions?"

As he spoke, Gawain unscrewed another bottle of mineral water very naturally, as if he was hinting at something with his actions.

Puff.

The reporters at the scene couldn't help but smile. They could sense the sarcasm and ridicule in Gao Wen's words, "See, I told you so."

But at this time, the reporters refused to respond to Gao Wen. They stared at Gao Wen with burning eyes, expressing oppression with their eyes, and waited for Gao Wen's positive answer.

Gao Wen saw that his joke did not get a response, but he did not mind. He pursed his lips, looked at Yu Jia again, and asked back with a smile on his face.

"Am I still in the competition? I thought they had already passed the curve and entered the straight line in the 200-meter sprint, but I was still delayed at the curve."

The vivid metaphor finally received a response of some chuckles.

Yu Jia also relaxed a little, but he still answered very professionally.

"Yes, you are still in the competition, but there are slightly more prerequisites."

“First, you have to win the championship.”

"Secondly, Kei Nishikori cannot enter the round of 16."

"Once again, Raonic can't make the quarterfinals."

"In the end, Dimitrov and Cilic couldn't win the title."

Yu Jia knows all the numbers like the back of his hand. It can be seen that the Chinese media must be paying close attention all the time. Any slight disturbance may change the situation. Those numbers must have been rehearsed countless times in their minds.

“When all the conditions are met, you will be able to enter the year-end finals as the eighth place and step onto the stage in London.”
