Some people live-stream the routine of circle money, more and more like online begging.
One day, I randomly entered a live broadcast room, only to see two assistants wearing sunglasses standing behind the man, the three of them did not say a word, and the cardboard in the hands of the man in the front row wrote:
The number of people to 5w to pick sunglasses, the number to 10w to talk, the number to 15w to smile.
Thousands of miles to put together people's heads, just for Bo Handsome Brother to smile?
Such a simple and naked traffic, attention, narcissistic and arrogant look, simply made the popularity laugh.
In the barrage of "this is also too low" and "eating ugly" questioning, I suddenly found that -
This anchor is actually the Olympic champion Sun Yang.
Sun Yang, who was once extremely proud, can now skillfully shout "3, 2, 1, family members on the link!" ”
Since most of the fans in the live broadcast room are women, sun Yang sells mostly women's products: cosmetics, underwear, body shaping clothes...
Half a month ago, Sun Yang received an appeal result of the "violent anti-prosecution incident": the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld his punishment of "4 years and 3 months of ban", that is to say, Sun Yang would not be released before the Paris Olympic Games.
At that time, he was 32 years old, at the age of retirement.
There is no high or low profession, and there is nothing wrong with athletes finding another way to make a living, but the huge change from the fierce swimming king to the female friend of the anchor with goods is still very regrettable.
However, from the beginning, the feelings that Sun Yang brought to people were actually complicated:
His athletic talent is amazing, but along with it is his obnoxiously arrogant personality.
Talent made Sun Yang, and arrogance directly destroyed him.
The birth of a young genius
When Sun Yang was unknown, some media thought of shooting a documentary on the swimming team, and the coach of Liu Zige, the female swimming champion of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, told the choreographer:
You might as well go to the next lane to see Sun Yang, that is the future of the future of the star.
Sure enough, at the 2011 World Championships, Sun Yang first appeared, and one person participated in the four competitions of 1500, 400, 200 and 4*200.
It was his first gold medal at the World Series and he broke the 10-year-old world record in the 1500m freestyle.
He was 19 years old.
At the 12th London Olympics, "Sun Yang" became a household name: he won the first gold medal for Chinese men's swimming on the lane of the 400-meter freestyle.
The 400m is not even his dominant sport, what he is best at is the middle and long distance. In the 1500 freestyle competition, Sun Yang was far ahead from 600 meters, his arm splitting the water waves, leaving other players far behind.
He swung forward like a fish, with a yellow line behind him — representing the speed of the world record, which he set at the age of 19.
At that time, the commentator was very excited: "Congratulations to the king of long-distance swimming in the world!" ”
The 19-year-old Sun Yang pushed the 20-year-old Sun Yang into the arms of a new world record and another gold medal.
Sun Yang's London legend doesn't stop there. Even in the 4 *200 relay race, Sun Yangyou took the last baton and led the Chinese team to rush all the way, from the seventh to the third.
It wasn't until the final touch of the wall that the American commentator woke up from his dream: "The bronze medal comes from China... When did Sun Yang emerge and jump to the third? ”
This relay bronze medal is extremely valuable to the Chinese men's swimming team, setting records and making history.
Sun Yang of London eventually won two gold, one silver and one bronze in four projects.
Swim Swam, the world's authoritative swimming magazine, wrote: "The Chinese sun shines on London, symbolizing the birth of the new king of freestyle swimming in the world."
The world swimming world has officially entered the "Sun Yang era".
In the years after that, whenever Sun Yang participated in the competition, he was bound to see him on the podium, with Grand Slams, consecutive consecutive victories, and even a gold medal in the 200-meter freestyle in Rio.
Sun Yang became the only swimming legend in the world to have won gold medals in the freestyle from 200 meters to 1500 meters.
For the audience, Sun Yang's game is extremely watchable, which is a kind of easy to win, and there is no need to worry about the invigorating feeling.
In the middle and long distance freestyle, Sun Yang has almost "absolute dominance", as long as the commentary shouts "Sun Yang has raised his legs", the medal is already in the bag.
In Sun Yang's swimming career, he has won a total of 14 world championships so far, including 3 Olympic gold medals and 11 world championship gold medals, ranking second in the world, behind Phelps.
Fans like to call him "Big Poplar" because he has white skin and tall, and the one-meter-nine-eight man stands on the podium like a vibrant poplar tree.
National attention, countless media footage also let everyone discover his cuteness:
If he wins, he will not be able to shed tears, he will unconsciously skim his lips when he gets the bronze medal, and there are famous scenes of "taking the wrong way" and "throwing swim trunks", and people who like him call him "Sun Mengmeng".
Sun Yang, the proud son of heaven, was the hottest sports star in China at that time.
Sun Yang kept making mistakes, and the public kept understanding
The public's love for Sun Yang always has a kind of connivance that "the child has good grades, let him do whatever he wants".
At the 200-meter freestyle awards ceremony at the Jakarta Asian Games, Sun Yang did not wear the uniform clothing of the national team, but wore the sports brand he endorsed, and the final result was very strange -
Obviously, the gold medal and bronze medal winners are all Chinese, but they can't see it at all from the clothing.
Athletes' private endorsements are a sensitive topic, before Sun Yang, some swimmers have long been removed for private advertising, and some foreign football players have been fined 70,000 for drinking competitive drinks.
But because this person is Sun Yang, everyone just says that as long as the results are good.
The Proud Son of Heaven did not want to follow the rules of the team.
After the 13-year National Games, the Zhejiang swimming team ushered in a period of repair time, but after the holiday, only Sun Yang did not return to the team on time to train. Worse: I don't answer the phone and text, and I don't report where I am.
Until the coach read the traces of Sun Yang on the news headlines - he drove and the bus had a collision, the police came to the scene and found Sun Yang driving without a license.
Sun Yang was sentenced to a fine of 2,000 yuan and detained for 7 days, and at this time, the swimming team learned through the news that Sun Yang disappeared for half a month and was actually playing in Thailand.
Sun Yang was exposed by the media to have a girlfriend who was 6 years older than himself, a flight attendant, and often showed affection.
Later, some media broke the news, saying that Sun Yang's mother was very dissatisfied with her ex-girlfriend and broke them up; but at that time, the flight attendant already had Sun Yang's child, and her mother gave a compensation payment, and the woman raised the child to 2 years old and is still single.
However, lace news did not affect the public's perception of Sun Yang.
The world's top athletes, there are some "crazy and uninhibited" personality, coupled with the "personality" aura of "unruly can swim first", it is even more absorbed a wave of powder.
However, things seem to be getting stranger and stranger.
Less than a year after "driving without a license", Sun Yang tested positive for urine at a swimming competition in China and was found to have taken the banned drug trimetazidazine.
Sun Yang's explanation was that he mistakenly took "Wan Shuangli" at the suggestion of the staff because of the treatment of heart problems, but according to the rules, Sun Yang's gold medal in the 1500 meters of the national swimming championships was canceled and he was suspended for three months.
The three-month penalty did not have much impact on Sun Yang, who still won three gold medals at the Incheon Asian Games three months later.
The follow-up effect of this incident was that Sun Yang's iron fan, Horton, an Australian player who was weibo for Sun Yang kai, openly said that he was a "cheater who took medicine" in a later competition.
On the podium, Horton refused to take a photo with Sun Yang, who was "misbehaving".
During the interview, Sun Yang famously said: "You can disrespect me, but you can't disrespect China." ”
At this time, "Sun Yang" still has enough public appeal, and when he binds himself and "China" tightly, he has not yet aroused everyone's strong antipathy.
Until the "violent anti-inspection" incident occurred, the balance of fate was no longer biased towards Sun Yang.
This time, the price is too high
Sun Yang challenged the rules of the swimming team, took endorsements, and did not return to the team, but was warned;
Challenging traffic rules, isn't driving without a license 7 days in prison?
The first time to challenge the anti-doping rules, taking trimetazin is nothing more than a light penalty of 3 months;
But he must not have imagined that when he challenged the anti-doping rules for the second time, he would lose his entire career.
In September 2018, the World Anti-Doping Organization suddenly notified Sun Yang to conduct a flight drug test. During the inspection, Sun Yang found that only the chief prosecutor of the three people in the group met the qualifications, so he refused the urine test and opposed the other party to take away the blood test bottle that had been collected. Subsequently, Sun Yang's mother called the community security guard and smashed the blood sample.
The International Anti-Doping Agency considered Sun Yang to constitute a "violent protest" and took him to court.
This is certainly a very controversial event.
There are problems on both sides.
The process of the inspection agency is indeed flawed, the so-called urine inspector, who was pulled out by Sun Yang, is actually a temporary construction worker, and as soon as he enters the door, he begins to use his mobile phone to photograph Sun Yang;
But Sun Yang violated more serious anti-doping rules: athletes need to be tested unconditionally and anytime, anywhere.
The focus of the trial is: can the flaws in the inspection process constitute Sun Yang's overturning of the entire inspection reason?
In fact, thousands of previous doping tests have used the same process and qualification documents as this one.
Even if Sun Yang believes that the process is not compliant, he can appeal after completing the examination, instead of refusing the urine test and smashing the blood sample;
And, as a professional athlete, Sun Yang has experienced more than 60 inspections of the same process, why did he question it this time?
To put it bluntly, the "qualifications" of the urine inspector are not related to the main idea, his role is nothing more than to ensure that Sun Yang is urinating under supervision.
Sun Yang's odds of winning were not great, and what was worse was that when he went to court, the performance of sun Yang himself, his mother, the team doctor or the lawyer was embarrassing.
In the face of the other party's questions, he either sold misery in tears, or accused someone of vainly trying to persecute, and he has always been concerned about him, or he is unwilling to put evidence and logic.
Sun Yang's mother even said funny things like "I didn't call the police, I just called the police" funny.
If the front is just chaos, then Sun Yang's final statement is a farce. He combed his delicate hairstyle, stood up his chest confidently, and opened his mouth to ask a rhetorical question:
"We have all the video photos and videos, I have the courage to put it, do you have the courage to watch it?"
His verbal expression, in addition to rhetorical questions, is to exert pressure, and even reveal threats everywhere:
"Would you be willing to ask your mother to stand behind you and watch you urinate?"
For Sun Yang's excitement and lack of logic, the translator next to him can only try his best to turn around. However, halfway through the trial, the most ridiculous thing happened:
Sun Yang suddenly waved his hand to summon a strange man and said that he would change the interpreter.
The arbitrator, who had clearly not experienced such a thing, asked three times in a row who the man was, and even the audience could not help but laugh out loud, and the trial was forced to adjourn, and the staff invited the man back.
Sun Yang continued to speak, still just shaking his head, big and inappropriate:
"If anti-doping organizations are not pure, how can there be fair competition? If the privacy of athletes cannot be protected, why stand on the podium? ”
In a court of rules and logic, this statement is tantamount to a waste of time.
The trial was broadcast live around the world, and the only impression many people left after watching it was:
Sun Yang and his team are really arrogant.
The result, of course, was not good for Sun Yang. The arbitral tribunal held that Sun Yang's violent resistance to the procuratorate was established, and in view of the doping history, he was sentenced to an 8-year ban.
Because the principle of international anti-doping is that, in addition to not depriving a medal, refusing to dop test is the same crime as taking doping.
Later, Sun Yang appealed, and the second-instance trial "reduced his sentence" to a ban of 4 years and 3 months.
Will Sun Yang, who lost the case, just count it out? Of course not.
After the trial ended, Sun Yang directly released the personal information, ID number and face photo of the three people who participated in the doping test.
With 45 million followers, attacking 3 celebrities, the power of the stirring is very frightening.
As soon as the incident came out, the chief prosecutor was immediately insulted by the flesh, and the nurse in charge of the blood test even lost his job because of the Internet violence;
The most ironic thing is that the pee inspector is a fan of Sun Yang. He likes Sun Yang and is willing to testify on behalf of Sun Yang, admitting that he is only a construction worker and coming to the scene without training to supervise Sun Yang's urination.
In the video of the "urine inspector" facing sun Yang released, he asked Sun Yang several times:
"You're not going to publish my privacy, are you?"
"Will this have any effect on me?"
Sun Yang denied it one by one, and then lost the case and made his face and ID card public.
Is this revenge, or is it an impotent rage?
As things fermented, netizens began to remind Sun Yang not to expose the privacy of others and induce Internet violence. Of course, Sun Yang went his own way and was fearless.
If you lose the lawsuit, you will vent your anger on ordinary people, is such a person really the big poplar that everyone is proud of?
The Procuratorial Daily published three articles in a row, introducing the whole process of Sun Yang's violent resistance to the procuratorate, condemning him for ignoring the rules and ignoring no one, and bluntly saying that "it cannot be tied to the honor of the state."
From then on, Sun Yang is no longer the big poplar that "calls the wind and rain" and is infinitely tolerated by everyone.
The Filter for the Olympic Champion faded, and everyone found that he was like a spoiled child, living in applause and flowers, arrogant, arrogant, empty-eyed, and regarded the rules as dung.
But this time, no one was used to him anymore.
The aura was gone, leaving a sigh empty
At the Tokyo Olympics last year, only Wang Shun, the Chinese men's swimming team, won the gold medal in the 200-meter medley.
At this time, some people recalled Sun Yang's moments of taking the initiative to break through and switch from long distance to short distance to win cards, and suddenly realized:
It turns out that swimming is not a traditional strength, but only because it was once too dazzling because there was a purple micro star.
At this point, most people originally had mixed feelings about Sun Yang:
I feel sorry for himself, but I also feel that he blames himself.
Gifted, but because of his arrogance, he lost the opportunity to continue to break through himself and show the world the limits of human beings.
Who is to blame for a good deck of cards being broken like this?
Nowadays, Sun Yang brings goods to do live broadcasting, and the way of "kidnapping" traffic is still "very Sun Yang", which makes people laugh.
Profession does not distinguish between high and low, of course, it is no harm to do live streaming with goods, but those who have witnessed Sun Yang's brilliant era, how can they not regret it?
A world champion with a "professional stain" that eclipsed the game, now can only rely on his former glory and consume fame to make money.
Although it is still well-paid and still surrounded by supporters, how long can such love last?
Hopefully, nothing happened.
Time can go back to ten years ago, he was still the young, simple teenager, with a clear sky above his head, a transparent pool of water under his feet, and the future star in the mouth of the coach next door.
