Chapter 1537: Chapter 1536: Staged Photo Suspicions
Everything is spoken through actions.
Quietly, slowly, Li Wei’s presence at the Berlin Film Festival is changing the trend, even extending an unimaginable influence, spreading widely.
Initially, journalists whispered speculations privately, wondering constantly if Li Wei’s sudden appearance in Berlin, and at the film press conference, was hiding so secret?
Could it be… related to the crew of “Never, Rarely, Sotis, Always”?
But it’s just an ordinary, usual small crew, without sponsorship, resources, or anything particularly worth noting, racking their brains, it’s difficult to associate Li Wei with the crew. Various speculations seem far-fetched and clueless.
The speculations didn’t last long, because in the next two days, Li Wei’s candid and composed actions were the best evidence. All sorts of conspiracy theories were overturned, gradually lting away in Berlin’s icy environnt, fading into silence. Instead, another kind of conspiracy theory quietly spread.
Everything was agreed upon—
Li Wei and the Berlin Film Festival, a ticulously designed promotion, a preditated marketing.
A thought quietly sprouted, then could no longer be contained, spreading overwhelmingly like wildfire.
In the world of fa and fortune, there are no coincidences, and no one believes in coincidences. What’s happening before us is entirely the strategy of the Berlin Film Festival, boldly carving out a niche, leveraging Li Wei, the hotshot, to create waves in the social dia world of the young.
Indeed, this step succeeded.
The more they thought about it, the more it seed right, the more they were convinced. Discussions among dia journalists appeared evident and conclusive, but upon reflection:
Even if everything is planned and strategized, one has to admire the Berlin Film Festival’s ingenious idea. How did they co up with this move? Carlo Chatrian does have so tricks, it’s entirely surprising that he possesses such talent and aptitude in marketing!
Chatrian: A bit panicked.
At most, he just went with the flow, relying only on his head. How could he co up with such a bold and crazy plan?
The true genius… should actually be Li Wei!
Realizing this, Chatrian had a bold idea, could they all be pawns of Li Wei?
If that’s the case, then what is Li Wei’s true purpose?
Not daring to think, unable to think, Chatrian pulled back just before his thoughts slid further into the dark abyss, struggling to restrain himself.
Then, facing various speculations, facing various gazes, Chatrian obediently shut his mouth, displaying a mysterious and profound deanor.
Speculation, swirling around noisily.
But regardless of how the dia journalists speculate, one thing is undeniable, Li Wei has beco the biggest winner—
For the thousand and first ti.
The halo surrounding Li Wei grows brighter and more ferocious, he is definitely the biggest star guest at this year’s Berlin Film Festival.
Comparable to jury mbers.
After all, Li Wei is already a top superstar worldwide, even for audiences unfamiliar with football, they can feel the heatwave frenzy on social dia. Everyone flocks in for the excitent, even if just as a bragging point; and now, Li Wei appears openly at the film festival, watching films with all journalists and audiences alike, breaching the fourth wall, intruding into reality, an overwhelming shock cos forth.
Thus, wherever Li Wei goes, it effortlessly becos the focus, serving fans at every mont without affecting the film watching:
Taking photos. Shaking hands. Embracing. Signing autographs. Casual chatting.
The unassuming Li Wei has beco a favorite for every audience mber.
However, rely this would fail to shake off the criticisms of “riding the wave”; yet, in reality, the trend has quietly shifted.
Because Li Wei adopts a posture of a devoted movie fan, distinctly different from other professional athletes, showing his cultural background and knowledge taste.
Generally, when people see a professional athlete, the impression that cos to mind is often their on-field performance, which is also the only resource to judge and imagine them; but off the field, the image of these athletes seems vague and sloppy—
Their character, their taste, their hobbies, their profundity, their temperant, and so on are all vague concepts that cannot withstand scrutiny. Upon serious consideration, these qualities beyond professional skills are still imagined based on their on-field performance.
In fact, that’s not surprising either.
After all, the professional skills of athletes lie on the field, naturally, people often judge and depict their image through on-field performance; even off the field, the label of “professional athlete” remains unremovable, becoming a weight they must carry for life.
However, when a professional athlete evolves from a field star to a superstar, they must break the label, showcasing their charm beyond the field.
From Michael Jordan to David Beckham to Roger Federer and then to Cristiano Ronaldo, one case after another proves this point:
They need to beco a real human being with flesh and blood, a true existence like all ordinary people; at the sa ti, they also need to beco an idol with leadership charisma, showing multi-faceted influence and appeal beyond the field.
A “superstar” is called such for a reason.
Now, Li Wei is no different.
Beyond the football field, beyond TV programs, fashion brands, and charity events, Li Wei showcases another side of himself.
On one hand, people flock to the “Los Angeles Tis,” curious about Li Wei’s attitude and opinion on films, anticipating a professional film critique from an athlete, such an interesting event is indeed unprecedented, and the level of attention towards the Berlin Film Festival and the “Los Angeles Tis” has soared—
The “New York Tis” is astonished, why didn’t they think of it?
On the other hand, people gain a deeper understanding of Li Wei, not just as a symbol like the Super Bowl champion regular season MVP, his personal image gradually becoming vivid and lively—
The truly surprising thing is, Li Wei not only writes film reviews but does so eloquently and substantively, it is clear that Li Wei indeed has taste.
Perhaps not everyone agrees with Li Wei’s film reviews, after all, watching a movie is a personal matter, a film everyone likes may not be to one’s liking, and a film everyone bashes might just hit one’s preference; but no one can deny, Li Wei is definitely not just a pretty facade.
“Wait, could soone have ghostwritten? Is Li Wei just a puppet set up in Berlin for show?”
Such doubts even surfaced on social dia, showing from the side that Li Wei’s film reviews indeed sparked much discussion.
But this doubt failed to spread widely.
The reason is very simple:
Li Wei’s film reviews not only exhibit his writing proficiency as an excellent journalism student but also prove that his outstanding transcript during university is absolutely not a facade; he really is an athlete with both hands and a mind.
