Qingdao High School Baseball Club, Supervising Office.
There were sofas on both sides of the table for the reception of guests, and Kataoka and Fujio sat opposite each other.
Ota poured tea for the two of them very affectionately, and then took the initiative to withdraw.
This scene did not escape the eyes of the sly and sly Fujio.
It is the instinct of a senior reporter to speculate on the attitude of the interviewee through a simple detail. Of course, in today's impetuous society, such a statement has been ridiculed by the new generation of reporters and is about to be abandoned.
But as a reporter engaged in sports, Fujio sticks to his bottom line. He always believes that as a senior sports media person, he should have his own unique insights into the interpretation of people's small actions.
Like the article he wrote at the time.
The savior of Qingdo High School, Miyuki Kazuya!
At that time, many colleagues dismissed his opinion, thinking that Miyuki was just a freshman who had just been promoted to Qingdao. Even if they perform well, they shouldn't be lifted to that height.
But after reading his article, many people are completely convinced by him.
Because he not only introduced Miyuki's life and performance in Qingdao step by step, but even guessed the player's psychological activities through some simple actions.
It's a bit like the difference between watching TV and . Some people are obsessed with TV shows, while others are very partial to them. Compared with the dazzling sound and light effects of TV dramas, only text communication is very limited.
But even with such a big restriction, there are still many people who have a soft spot for it. Compared with the superficial kind of watching TV, people who really like to read are more emotional.
The difference is the extension of mental activity and thought.
For example, there are a thousand Hamlets in the minds of a thousand readers. This can be regarded as a classic.
But if it is made into a TV series and a thousand TV viewers see a thousand Hamlets in the eyes, then the TV series will undoubtedly be a failure.
Fujio is the Shakespeare of journalists.
This praise must have passed, but I can't think of a comparable word for a while. In short, he is a man with his own unique insights and vision.
If such a person is not recognized by the public, he is at best a maverick. But once it is recognized by the public, it will be enshrined in the altar.
Fujio was limited by his circle and occupation, and did not have the opportunity to go to the altar. However, he has won the favor and trust of many professional scouts.
For so many years, the high school players who have been praised by Fujio, although not all of them can be said to be talented, most of them are still good.
Compared to their strength, it can even be said to be inexpensive.
Fujio has always had a good relationship with Aoshima. Especially after Kataoka served as a supervisor, the relationship was even more intimate.
In the past few years when Qingdo did not enter Koshien, Fujio also used his pen to contribute to Kataoka's disciples.
Ordinarily, with their relationship like this, Kataoka should not have such an attitude when he received his interview request.
Instead of sitting on the more intimate side of the sofa, I sat directly opposite myself.
This shows that Kataoka has to confront himself in his heart.
Just now, Minister Ota seemed to be very polite, but it was obviously evasive behavior, which further proved this.
They disagree with their own opinions, and are unwilling to openly quarrel.
That is to say, Kataoka did not intend to help out in accordance with his interview request.
Fujio looks unremarkable, especially with a peaked cap, which looks more like an old paparazzi.
Even the way he drinks tea can't be called elegant.
After taking a sip of tea, put the teacup on the tea machine again.
Fujio said, "I don't know about the interview request I mentioned earlier. How did Supervisor Kataoka think about it?"
The more hesitant the other party is, the more simple and direct you must be, and the easier it is to achieve your goal.
Facing Fujio's question, Kataoka was obviously taken aback.
However, he is also a straight-forward person. Fujio was able to say so directly, but Kataoka breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"To be honest, both Qingdao and myself have taken care of you in the past two years. Ordinarily, we should not refuse a simple interview. But this summer competition, whether it is for Qingdao or for the players. It’s very important to say that, and absolutely do not allow any accidents. They just won the championship of the Kanto Conference, and they are complacent. When interviewing at this time, I am afraid that they will upset their hearts.”
This is what Kataoka would never say to Fujio and others.
Just like rejecting other media interviews, Kataoka is very tough, he just doesn't accept it, whatever you like.
"What does Director Kataoka mean?"
Fujio asked with a frown.
"I can do interviews myself. As for the interviews with the players, I don't think it's necessary before the summer tournament."
Um?
This result was far from Fujio's expectation.
Based on his knowledge of Qingdo High School, did he even come here to interview Kataoka? With his eyes closed, he could silently write down Kataoka's experiences over the years.
The focus of the interview is of course on Sawamura Eijun and Akatsuki Furuya, who can throw super fast balls.
The most important thing is Sawamura Eijun, that is the real big news!
"Then I wonder if I can interview Sawamura-san?"
Here comes the meat scene.
Kataoka is not stupid, of course he knows why Fujio is here.
"I just said..."
Not allowing Kataoka to continue to defend himself, Fujio said straight to the point: "Based on Sawamura-san's previous experience, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would be overwhelmed by interviews, right?"
In high school, Sawamura was just a member of Qingdo High School, helping the team win the Kanto Championship.
In middle school, Sawamura was the first person to stand out from the crowd, the super demon king.
From a purely famous point of view, Sawamura is even more famous than the high school baseball stars who came out of Koshien now.
In his capacity, he was working hard to promote Akagi Middle School at that time, and the number of interviews he received was too numerous to count.
To say that he would be distracted by the interview would be tantamount to nonsense.
Director Kataoka was speechless.
At this time, Sawamura was in the bullpen, practicing forkball.
He still lacks the kind of ball path that can directly let the batter out!
"Sawamura, the supervisor asked you to come over."
At this time, a senior from the Third Army came and told Sawamura to let Sawamura go to the supervision room.
"What's up?"
"I didn't say it specifically, but there is a reporter in the reception room who should have asked you to come over for an interview."
"I'm busy!"
