You’re a football player, discussing the professionalism of journalists with me? Do you know what being a journalist means?\" The reporter sneered at Lu Yang, openly mocking him, and showed his press card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, team staff already wanted to take Lu Yang away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such situations would greatly affect Lu Yang’s game state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Yang refused the staff’s offer and responded: \"Just from this picture you brought to question me, first you need to know, the camera can manipulate perspective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many people who aren’t sensitive to cameras don’t notice this, but I can teach you. Look here, do you see this table? It should be square, but in the picture, it looks rectangular, evidence that distance is significantly shortened by the camera.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So Sofia and Kubo’s actual distance exceeds a meter, not as close as the picture suggests.
