Almighty Coach

In the studio, 27 gold medals were arranged in three rows and hung around Dai Li's neck. Dai Li grinned and forced a smile.

"Coach Li, hold on, it will be fine soon." The photographer comforted him, and at the same time quickly pressed the shutter.

The weight of Olympic gold medals is 500 grams, which is one catty. The weight of 27 gold medals is 27 catties. Hanging around the neck is equivalent to the weight of the shackles on the necks of ancient prisoners.

Finally, after the photo was taken, Dai Li also let out a sigh of relief.

This photo will be placed on the cover of Time Magazine, and Dai Li will also be on the cover of Time Magazine. If it weren't for the well-known big media like Time Magazine, perhaps Dai Li wouldn't have suffered this crime to take such a photo.

Although the Olympics is over, the topic of the Olympics is still very hot. For example, the 27 gold medals won by the U.S. track and field team have become something that the American people like to talk about.

There are only 47 gold medals in Olympic track and field competitions, and the US team directly took away 27 of them. Such a record and such dominance have never appeared in the history of the Olympic Games.

In the media voting after the Olympic Games, Li Dai deserved to be named the best coach of this Olympic Games. Although this is not an official award, and there are no trophies or bonuses, it represents the recognition of the public.

Dai Li's training center became famous because of this, and Dai Li even began to consider whether to open two more branches to expand his voice.

...

Just as the Olympic Games have just ended, various meetings related to the Olympic Games are also being held in China to commend meritorious personnel and summarize various projects.

A conference room that is not too big, but today there are nearly a hundred people squeezed into it. Those who can sit on the oval conference table in the middle, in addition to the leaders of the General Administration of Sports, are the main persons in charge of the sports bureaus of the provinces. As for the others , then sit on the surrounding chairs.

The seat in the middle of the conference table was vacant, and even the senior leader of the General Administration did not sit in it. Obviously, there were still bigger leaders who were not present.

After a while, the door opened, and the big leader appeared in front of everyone. Everyone looked intently, and what they saw was the high-level leader who was in charge of sports. In the next second, everyone in the conference room stood up.

"Everyone, sit down!" The leader waved to everyone kindly, and then sat in the vacant seat.

The meeting started soon, and the heads of several provincial sports bureaus began to report in turn. The athletes from these provinces all performed well in the Olympics. To put it bluntly, they are the "medal provinces" of the Olympics. Let them report now. One is to introduce their respective experiences so that everyone can communicate and learn more; the other is to let them show their faces in front of the big leaders and have a chance to show their merits.

Finally, it was the turn of Director Li of the Hanbei Provincial Sports Bureau to report.

Director Li usually talks a lot, but this time, facing the high-level leaders, he seemed very cramped, sitting upright, and reported word by word to the materials in his hand, for fear that the leaders might not hear clearly.

"In addition, our province also attaches great importance to the construction of the coaching echelon. In the past few years, our province has cultivated many excellent coaches..."

When Director Li said this, the leader tilted his head slightly, and his gaze stayed directly on Director Li.

In fact, this kind of report meeting, everyone reports the same situation, it can be said to be the same, just like everyone’s New Year’s greetings during the New Year are "Happy New Year". When the first person says this sentence, it may make people think It's very "year-old", but when there are too many people talking and listening to it, it feels dull.

The construction of the "coach echelon" that Director Li mentioned was obviously not mentioned by the previous few reports. Therefore, the leaders immediately became interested when they heard something new.

While reporting, Director Li also secretly observed the reactions of the big leaders. This observation is also a basic skill when reporting work. When he saw the leader looking at him, Director Li was overjoyed. leadership attention.

Reporting work is also a learning process. It is not a matter of finishing the work according to the script. You must know how to save time for the leader. If it is something the leader doesn’t like to hear, simply report a few key points and explain the matter clearly. And if the leader is interested, it is natural to talk about it in detail.

Director Li also knew this very well. He was well prepared before he came. He already knew how to say the same paragraph in detail and how to say it in a simpler way. Having said that, if Director Li didn't have this ability, he wouldn't be able to sit in this position.

Director Li felt that the leader wanted to learn more about this topic, so he changed his voice and immediately started a detailed report. The few people next to him cast envious glances at Director Li, and they could attract the attention of the big leaders in charge of sports, and let the leaders recognize their work ability. This is an opportunity that everyone here is yearning for.

Director Li talked, and finally talked about the "detailed achievements" of Hanbei Province in the construction of the coaching echelon.

"For example, Li Dai, the head coach of the U.S. national track and field team, is a representative of the excellent coaches trained in our province. As a Chinese coach, being able to become the head coach of the national team of the United States, the world's number one track and field power, represents itself. Outstanding ability, and in this Olympic Games, coach Li Dai also led the US track and field team to win 27 gold medals, the best record in history..."

Director Li said without a red face, and he almost said that the 27 gold medals in the United States were all due to their Hanbei Provincial Sports Bureau.

"This old Li can really boast! The gold medal of the US team can be included."

"Our bureau counted the gold medal of our own national team in our bureau's credit book. It's already quite cheeky. This old Li is even thicker than us. Even the US team's gold medal should be counted in his credit book. !"

The few people around looked at Li Sihan with some contempt, while Director Li pretended to turn a blind eye. Anyway, the cow has been blown out, can it be taken back!

However, the big leader sitting in the middle coughed dryly and interrupted Director Li: "Let me ask a question, I have also heard of this Dai Li, it is said that he is very famous in the United States, he is a Chinese-American, right? I thought he was a second or third generation Chinese born in the United States, so is he from Hanbei?”

Director Li nodded immediately: "About Dai Li's situation, let me report to you. Dai Li was born in Yuzhou City, Hanbei Province. He has not yet become an American citizen, and his household registration is still in our Hanbei Province. Bei, on this point, the comrades in our bureau have personally confirmed with him.”

"Oh? Not American, that means Dai Li is our own coach!" After hearing the news, the big leader's eyes flashed a hint of satisfaction.

Director Li went on to say: "Shortly after graduating from university, Dai Li joined our Hanbei Provincial Sports Bureau. Director Xu Zhongyi, who was still working as a front-line coach in our bureau at the time, personally discovered him and asked him to come to our training team as coach.”

As Director Li said, he turned his head and glanced at the chair behind him. Xu Zhongyi, who was sitting there, hurriedly stood up and bowed slightly to the leader.

The big leader nodded at Xu Zhongyi, as if he had remembered Xu Zhongyi's name. For Xu Zhongyi, this was already the biggest gain of the day.

Director Li went on to report: "When coach Li Dai was working in the training team of our bureau, we also focused on training him. Our bureau sent him to the national team to study many times, and the bureau has the opportunity to study abroad, which also allowed him Coach Dai Li participated in it."

"Later, Coach Li Dai accepted the call of the national team and left the establishment of our Hanbei Provincial Sports Bureau. Our provincial training team, in addition to providing excellent athletes to the national team, also provides excellent athletes to the national team. Coaching is also our responsibility." Director Li said, showing a righteous expression.

The big leader gave Director Li an approving look. He didn't worry about how Dai Li went abroad in the end. In his opinion, it is understandable for outstanding talents to want to go abroad. Talents who have gone abroad over the years in China are not Not much, after all, those developed countries can provide better treatment, but they can't go out, maybe they really don't have much ability, and they are not rare in developed countries.

However, the big leaders care more about Li Dai's nationality. As long as Li Dai still has Chinese nationality, it will have the value of publicity. Being able to teach the world's number one track and field in the United States sounds obviously bluffing. What's more, Dai Li has achieved unprecedented good results.

And similar situations have happened in China. For example, in volleyball, there was a precedent of a Chinese coach coaching a foreign team and achieving good results. It was also widely reported by the domestic media at that time.

Thinking of this, the big leader asked: "Why didn't we see any news about this coach Li Dai in our reports on the Olympic Games? I heard about this name, and I only found out about it after reading reports from the American media. Our own coach , We didn’t report him, we didn’t promote him, but let foreigners report and publicize, and the comrades who were responsible for interviewing and reporting the Olympic Games didn’t do their job well, it’s time to work harder!”

What the big leader said was neither light nor serious, but in the back seat, a deputy director of the central station who came to participate in the meeting broke out in a cold sweat.

In such an open conference room, it is undoubtedly a criticism to be told by a big leader of this level that "the work has not been done properly".

...

"What did you do? You missed such an important piece of news material. You are negligent!" Sitting in the car back to the station, the deputy director made a phone call and was criticized by the other side. educate.

A few minutes later, the person who had just been criticized and educated also took the phone and said angrily: "We sent someone to Rio de Janeiro, is it for tourism? Such a big living person has not seen it? 27 gold medals Didn't see it? And it's track and field, the biggest event in the Olympics! You're dereliction of duty!"

The "dereliction of duty" mentioned above has become "dereliction of duty" in his mouth, which is not a slight increase in severity.

Editor-in-Chief Zhao, who was severely taught by the leader, hung up the phone. He didn't understand why the leader was furious because of this matter, and he used such a serious responsibility as "dereliction of duty". Years of work experience and media professionals His sensitivity told him that there must be a reason for everything.

Editor-in-Chief Zhao has worked for many years. He climbed all the way to this position from a young reporter and accumulated some connections. He immediately went to inquire about it, and soon learned from a friend in the propaganda department that the deputy director of the station was in During the meeting, I was criticized by the leaders above.

Editor-in-Chief Zhao immediately understood the importance of the matter. He knew that he must come up with a remedy as soon as possible. Even if the matter cannot be completely remedied, he must show a positive attitude. If there is none, then his official career will really be in jeopardy.

Editor-in-Chief Zhao called immediately and found several reporters who were going to the Rio Olympics to cover track and field events.

...

Liu Ran didn't know why Editor-in-Chief Zhao found her all of a sudden. She and Editor-in-Chief Zhao were several levels behind.

When Liu Ran came outside the office of Editor-in-Chief Zhao and saw several of his colleagues, he suddenly had some enlightenment in his heart.

"They were all colleagues who participated in the coverage of the Olympic track and field competition at the time. Could it be the report on the Olympic track and field competition? What went wrong?"

Liu Ran thought with a guilty conscience, and then he walked into Editor-in-Chief Zhao's office with other colleagues. When she saw Editor-in-Chief Zhao's ashen expression, she knew that something was wrong.

"Did you notice Li Dai, the head coach of the US team, when you were interviewing the Olympic track and field events?" Editor-in-Chief Zhao asked.

Several people nodded at the same time, but they didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Editor-in-Chief Zhao's gourd.

"Then do you know that Coach Li of the American team is a Chinese?" Editor-in-Chief Zhao continued to ask.

"Know!"

"Know!"

"Know!"

Several people said in unison.

"You know? Then why didn't you do an exclusive interview with him? Even if you can't do an exclusive interview, it shouldn't be difficult to interview him a few more times, right? A Chinese can be the head coach of the US track and field team. Is there no news? Moreover, this year’s U.S. team still created a record of 27 gold medals. Don’t you think it’s not worth reporting at all to have such an achievement? You can be reporters and go abroad for interviews, don’t you even Isn't this news sensitive?" Editor-in-Chief Zhao asked angrily.

Editor-in-chief Zhao's angry appearance made several people silent.

Finally, a mosquito-like female voice whispered: "Report to the editor-in-chief, I did an exclusive interview with Coach Li early in the Olympic Games."

It was Liu Ran who spoke.

"What did you say? An exclusive interview? Why didn't I see it?" Editor-in-Chief Zhao stared at Liu Ran with a fierce look.

"I sent back Coach Li's exclusive interview, but our director didn't allow it." Liu Ran continued in a low voice.

"Why not?" Editor-in-Chief Zhao became calmer when he heard the news. He looked at Liu Ran, and then said, "You are Xiao Liu, right? Don't be nervous, speak slowly, and explain clearly to me why Made an exclusive interview but didn’t publish it?”

"It's because our director said we need harmony, so we didn't post this interview." Liu Ran replied.

"Harmony? Well, is there any inconsistency in the content of the interview? That Li Dai said some inappropriate words?" Editor-in-Chief Zhao continued to ask.

"That's not true." Liu Ran shook his head.

"Is that because Dai Li has some unhealthy views? Violating our reporting principles?" Editor-in-Chief Zhao continued to ask.

"No." Liu Ran shook his head again.

"What's that discordant?" Editor-in-Chief Zhao continued to ask.

"Our director said that there is a section of the content, which is the content of Coach Li's resignation after being transferred. If it is broadcast, it may offend people and those who gave him a job transfer at that time." Liu Ran replied honestly. .

"Offending people? Our CCTV is still afraid of offending people!" The anger in Editor-in-Chief Zhao's heart immediately rushed to his forehead.

"You are afraid of offending people, but you caused me to be scolded by the leader. You have become a good person, and I will take the blame for you, and the deputy director, because of this, I was criticized by the leader above! What a failure! More than enough!"

Editor-in-chief Zhao scolded the director who "wanted harmony" in his heart, and he had already sentenced him to a "death sentence".

Then Editor-in-Chief Zhao asked, "Is this interview still available?"

"It should be, I sent it back at the time, and it should be stored in our system." Liu Ran nodded.

"Let's go to the editing room. I want this interview right now. If there are no fundamental issues, it will be broadcast tonight!" Editor-in-Chief Zhao stood up.
