"I'm a strong contender for the championship!" This is a sentence that Wu Di once said in the most popular sports variety show "Football Commentary Conference". That episode of the show was a mutual selection of mentors and contestants, and surprisingly, Wu Di voluntarily gave up the opportunity to actively choose and entered the pending area, for which Dong Lu angrily pointed out that Wu Di did not have the ability to win the championship.
In that episode of the show, Wu Di also suffered a lot of controversy from netizens. However, he earned enough applause in the debut of the "Football Commentary Conference", in which Wu Di simulated the final match of the Chinese team's 2022 World Cup qualifier against Syria, which won cheers from the scene and countless spectators. In the three-minute competition, he not only imitated the commentary classic fragments of Huang Jianxiang, Han Qiaosheng and Dong Lu, but also jokingly explained the techniques and tactics of the Chinese team.
Wu Di is a native of Beijing, and in the show, he often wears a headband, whether it is talking or acting, it gives people a sense of confidence and even "arrogance". After the broadcast of the tenth "Football Commentary Conference", Wu Di has truly become one of the top ten national football commentators in China. Along the way, however, he is the most controversial one.
No amount of controversy can shake the direction of his efforts
Every player who participates in the "Football Commentary Conference" is a full-fledged fan, but Wu Di likes to emphasize: "I am a Guoan fan. It can be said that every fan has a dream of commentary in his heart, before participating in the "Football Commentary Conference", Wu Di has participated in many sports variety shows, and this interpretation stage of pp sports is different for him, he said: "In other stages is to survive, here, is the dream of a child." ”
He said: "For everyone who works in sports, the commentary station is the highest honor. Huang Jianxiang, Han Qiaosheng, Dong Lu, Li Xin, Su Dong and other idols in the field of interpretation have become the leaders of his dreams. But his road to realizing his dream is full of controversy.
On June 13, the night before the World Cup opener, the football commentary circle caused a big shock because of Wu Di. In the top ten matches of the "Football Commentary Conference" broadcast that night, 13 players partnered in the pp sports studio to explain the semi-finals of the FA Cup, and after the commentary, among the three players Wu Di, Cui Zhengjie and Chang Jinyang, Su Dong, Liu Yue, Li Xin, Shen Fangjian and Xiao Bin unanimously agreed that Wu Di could directly advance. As soon as the results were announced, the three mentors expressed strong dissatisfaction on the spot, Dong Lu said that he was "frightened", and Han Qiaosheng even believed that "whether it is choosing a combination or a single person, there is no reason and necessity to choose Wu Di". In this regard, the jury believed that Wu Di's performance was "accurate and bright".
On the Internet, fans also show two factions of Wu Di's performance, one side believes that Wu Di is not eligible to enter the top 10, and the other side believes that Wu Di's characteristics in interpretation are not prepared by others, and the professional foundation can be improved through the efforts of the day after tomorrow. For these voices from the outside world, Wu Di frankly said: "Although I look arrogant and even arrogant, I care about every comment, for scolding me, in fact, I am very uncomfortable, but I will accept the advice given, for those of us who have come all the way ups and downs, scolding is not scolding, and it will not shake the direction of efforts at all."
In fact, as the jury said, Wu Di's controversies were not enough to hide his shining points, he was able to insert interesting football gossip in a timely manner when the game entered the flat stage, he was able to quickly get into the best state of commentary in a short period of time, and he was even the first player to try to combine advertising and commentary. His boldness has also been praised by many fans.
For the current ranking, Wu Di believes: "On the comprehensive strength, I have no problem entering the top ten, if you look at each issue, you will find that I am not 'lying in', but stumbling all the way up." Compared with Miao Lin and Chen Wensen, who have rich experience in commentary, Wu Di cannot be compared with them in terms of commentary, but he said: "My disadvantages are obvious, but my advantages are also obvious, they are very professional commentators, and I can use my strengths to avoid weaknesses and find another way." ”
When Wu Di explains football with his partner, he often explains and comments in the form of a chat, which not only leaves a mouth for the partner, but also easily makes the audience in front of the screen have a sense of involvement. In the current Internet era, the traditional form of commentary is no longer suitable for the diverse choices of current fans, and how to better serve the audience is a problem that every football commentator should explore. For this new type of chat commentary, Wu Di said: "Book commentary and cross-talk commentary have already appeared, why can't we try to chat commentary?" If no one dares, then I will be the first to eat crabs. ”
Explain football with a heart of awe
In the tenth kicking tournament that aired last Wednesday, the first player to be challenged was Wu Di, who was the "weakest" of the top ten players in the eyes of other players. In fact, as luan zhixin of the kicking hall, he did not realize that Wu Di at this time had become really strong, and of course the kicking hall would not succeed, and Wu Di was firmly seated in the top ten seats.
When participating in the "Football Commentary Conference", Wu Di believed that since he could "do a good job in other football programs, he could easily cope with the commentary". However, the partner explanation with Zhang Han in the 60 into 30 subverted his understanding. "It was the first time I went into the studio and I was completely confused, the previous stage was not like this. From that moment on, my view of football commentary changed completely, which is the hardest and most challenging of all language performances. ”
And Wu Di's personality of not accepting defeat made him not want to enter the mentor team with a gesture of pity, he said, "I want to let the teachers choose me as they should be through my performance." There was also a scene where Wu Di automatically gave up when choosing the mentor team.
The mentor Dong Lu became the "BoLe" on his interpretation road. Wu Di's shortcomings in football commentary, such as accent problems, basic knowledge, and interpretation skills, have all been unveiled by Dong Lu one by one, and corresponding to the drug. Some people say that Dong Lu's criticism of Wu Di is really ruthless. Wu Di said: "His harshness may collapse for others, but after all, I am strong inside, and Teacher Dong Lu's severity is still relatively light compared with many netizens." ”
Under Dong Lu's "high-pressure policy", Wu Di grew up rapidly. In Wu Di's view, Dong Lu is not only his professional mentor, but also his spiritual mentor. "When Teacher Dong Lu said, 'Wu Di is not as free as he looks, he is actually very entangled in his heart', I decided that he was my teacher all my life, because he understood me."
Wu Di stressed that it was Dong Lu who taught him to treat football commentary with a reverential heart, and while explaining football, he was also explaining life. Taking the opportunity of the interview, Wu Di confessed to Dong Lu in the air: "Maybe the outside world has some views on you, but I always believe that being your own person is the coolest!" When Xu Han left this stage, he said that you may not be the best commentator, but you must be the best teacher. I would like to add that the word that comes up most in your mind is probably not football, but education. ”
Some fans said that Wu Di is like Pogba on the pitch, although Pogba occasionally loses power, but this can not hide his aura on the field and his different vision, just like Wu Di in the commentary, although there are flaws, but not enough to cover up his aura in the commentary. Coincidentally, for this equally controversial World Cup, Wu Di said he was optimistic about Pogba's French team.
As for whether he can win the championship of the "Football Commentary Conference", Wu Di no longer cares. "If when I first came to this stage, you asked me if I was satisfied with the top ten?" I'm not satisfied. But now, I'm content. "For him, it's enough to meet a group of young people with dreams and experience real football commentary.
"I've been on a lot of shows, but none of them have been like this so far. A bunch of people who don't know each other, come here because of a common ideal, cry for it, rejoice for it, argue for it... Since the team assembled, every night there have been two things, drinking and chatting. It's a feeling I haven't experienced in five or six years. I thought I was still young, but when I came here, I found that I was really older. Those younger siblings, their vigor, their drive, made me envious. I will remember these three months for the rest of my life, I will remember everyone on this show, and I hope you will remember me. ”
At 22:00 on Wednesday evening, pp sports, pp video, and Jiangsu Satellite TV will broadcast the semi-finals of the eleventh session of "Football Commentary Conference". Wu Di said: Even if he fails to go to the end of the stage of the "Football Commentary Conference", he will still explain football with a reverential heart.
