Chapter 95 The Bloody Finale
After the last game against the La Masia youth team, the Chinese football teenagers did not return to China immediately, but stayed in Barcelona for three more days. During these three days, everyone visited various tourist attractions in and around Barcelona, and left a day for them to move around freely, so that some children with better financial conditions can go shopping. And it's not just for the children, the staff of the program team and the coaching staff who have worked hard for two months also took this opportunity to have fun in Barcelona.
Afterwards, they boarded a plane from Barcelona, transited through Dubai, UAE, and flew back to Beijing, China.
Concludes a two-month European challenge trip.
When the program team and the young players were separated in the hotel, Zhou Yi was surrounded by the staff.
They all took clothes, hats and other things and pens, and handed them to Zhou Yi: "Sign your name, Zhou Yi! This signature will be valuable in the future!"
Zhou Yi didn't refuse, picked up a pen and signed the things everyone handed over.
As the core of this team, the performance of the Chinese team before and after Zhou Yi's appearance is completely different, and the effect of the program is also completely different. Therefore, the staff of the program group also admire and appreciate Zhou Yi very much. If it wasn't for him, this show might really be a waste—with so many resources spent, all the hard work of the entire film crew of more than a hundred people in the past two months would probably be cut in half and abandoned.
Everyone likes Zhou Yi, a lively and cheerful kid.
It's also good to see him finally reach an agreement with Dortmund. When they watch the Bundesliga in the future, they will have more expectations.
When Zhou Yi first arrived in Barcelona, the cameraman who followed Zhou Yi also walked up to Zhou Yi and asked Zhou Yi for his autograph.
While signing his name, Zhou Yi said, "Oh, I won't go to the toilet when I get home from now on."
The people around him asked why strangely.
Zhou Yi handed the signed things to the cameraman brother and said, "There is no camera beside me!"
Everyone laughed, including the cameraman.
After laughing, he was suddenly moved—he didn't expect Zhou Yi to still remember this incident, remember him. You must know that there are more than 30 photographers in the program group alone, and they never gave any introduction to the young players. They just silently filmed the young players when they were training and living.
He is an ordinary staff member and cannot enjoy star treatment. So the show was broadcast glamorously, but no one knew the hard work and hardships of these staff behind the scenes.
I am busy from morning to night every day, and sometimes I can't even eat a hot meal, or even have no meal at all. After two or three hours of sleep, I have to get up and debug the machine. When the young players were still asleep, they had already set off to the shooting location to arrange and set up the camera positions.
But as long as the show can be filmed well, they have no complaints, they can't drink water or eat food, they can understand and won't make trouble.
They also seem to be used to not making demands and just keeping their heads down.
Their names are not seen anywhere except in the final credits of the show. And the final list is actually not many people will read it.
Just finish this job in obscurity and move on to the next job site.
Work hard, work hard to earn money, and support your wife, children, parents and elderly people at home.
This is their life.
They can use the camera to capture the beautiful figure of the star,
But there will be no self in their lens.
They seem to be used to being excluded from the public view, and the stars will not pay more attention to them.
In the end, Zhou Yi actually remembered him!
This moved him very much.
He gave Zhou Yi a thumbs up: "Young man, I'm thirty-seven this year. I used to be a fan, but I stopped watching football. Why don't I watch it? I won't talk about it, but what I want to say is now because of you Boy, I plan to watch football again! If you go to Germany, you should work hard! I am your fan!"
The staff nearby also shouted: "That's right, Zhou Yi! We are your fans too!"
"Don't worry, I won't sell this autograph. I'll frame it in a glass frame when I get back!"
Zhou Yi looked at the big brothers of the camera team, the teachers of the audio team, the director team, the production team, the make-up team, the art team, the post-production team, the outreach team... and all the crew members of the film crew, getting along with them day and night After two months, from being unaccustomed to being followed by cameras at the beginning to turning a blind eye to their existence in the end, talking and laughing with friends...
Zhou Yi felt that he had also grown a lot.
He also saw the hard work of these film crews.
Everyone is working hard in order to be able to do a good job in this show.
It's like everyone is chasing victory on the court.
Reality TV, this is a project that can only be achieved by teamwork.
So is football.
Zhou Yi suddenly bowed to everyone. It was rare that he didn't have a hippie smile, and said seriously: "Thank you brothers, sisters, teachers!"
Some people in the crowd applauded first, and the applause soon became one, and some secretly wiped their tears, and the emotion of reluctance spread in everyone's heart.
Applause attracted people elsewhere.
Hao Dong was chatting with chief director Xu Tao, and was also attracted by this scene.
"This kid can always make everyone focus on him, always mobilize everyone's emotions, and always attract everyone's attention... he will definitely be a great person in the future!" Xu Tao sighed softly.
"Yes, in the future I can say that I picked this kid from a reality show audition." Hao Dong continued.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The two hands were held together: "Thank you."
"Boss Hao, you have worked hard too."
"For these children, it's okay to suffer a little bit, ha!"
In Barcelona, the production team of the "Heirs of the Green" reality show was officially disbanded. The team will return to China in batches, and the children will go first.
When I came, the first stop was Barcelona.
When I leave, I also leave from Barcelona.
What a perfect cycle.
※※※
And while they were still flying in the sky, the last episode of "The Green Inheritor" was finally broadcast on Zhejiang Satellite TV.
For this episode of the program, not only the program group, but the TV station also attached great importance to it-they knew the results of the competition in advance, so naturally they should pay attention to it.
So from three days ago, in addition to promoting the trailer on their own TV station, they also launched a very violent propaganda offensive on traditional newspaper print media and emerging online media.
Zhou Yi, He Ying, Sun Pan and the personal images of young players such as Hao Dong also appeared in everyone's field of vision frequently. Even the advertisement for the hot-blooded finale of "The Green Heir" can be seen on the bus stop sign.
Someone noticed their slogan.
"Hot Blood" finale.
passionate?
Anyone who follows the program "Successor of the Green Green" knows that the route of Chinese football teenagers in Europe is a circle, and they will eventually return to Barcelona to challenge the La Masia Youth B team.
And this opponent humiliated the Chinese teenagers with twelve goals in the first episode of the show.
The strength gap between the two sides is very huge.
Even if the Chinese football teenagers have won the Chelsea youth team, the Liverpool youth team, and the Manchester United youth team before, it does not mean that they can beat the La Masia youth team.
Moreover, they also lost to their opponents in the two games in Italy.
In the face of a huge gap in strength, how can you be passionate?
Someone ridiculed the promotion of the program group: "Where is the bloody ending? I think it is a bloody ending! The producer will definitely spread blood in this last episode! Desperately sensational, what is defeated is glorious, what is repeatedly defeated , the sportsmanship of the teenagers who never give up... In short, this is a 'glorious defeat'! But no matter how glorious it is, it is still a failure!"
Some people wondered about the uncharacteristically high-profile propaganda of the TV station: "Isn't this arousing everyone's appetite? What should I do if I lose the game? The current TV station really doesn't care about anything in order to attract attention! I think the children are really Innocent, if we lose at that time, won’t the appetizing audience scold them all?”
Everyone is guessing what is the solution to this "hot blood ending".
They guessed many possibilities, but none of them guessed that the Chinese team would win, because it was absolutely, absolutely, absolutely impossible to happen.
However, this kind of speculation and controversy has also caused a lot of hype on the show. Even people who don't usually pay attention to football reality shows know about it, and they are very curious and want to watch it.
After attracting enough attention, on Thursday night, Zhejiang Satellite TV officially broadcast the finale of "Successors".
Countless people sat in front of the TV and watched this episode of the program, but many of them were actually watching the jokes, and they wanted to see how the TV station's bragging rights would be achieved!
Zhou Yi's parents also sat in the living room early and prepared snacks such as tea, peanuts, melon seeds, and candies, just like watching the Spring Festival Gala every year.
Lin Xianrong was sitting facing the TV, surrounded by family members, the whole family was basically sitting in front of the TV, surrounded by their parents, waiting for the last episode of "The Heir to the Green Field" start broadcasting.
Now no one will be surprised why Lin Xianrong is interested in a football variety reality show. Because everyone knows that there is a student from Qingyang No. 1 High School in this program, and his name is Zhou Yi.
※※※
As soon as this episode started, the viewers in front of the TV who had watched "The Heir to the Green Field" felt that something was wrong. Because there is no fixed arrangement of any part of the game in this show, but it seems to be centered around the last game from the very beginning. A reality show variety show, but it feels like...a football documentary!
From players to coaches, they appeared in front of the camera in turn and talked about their feelings brought about by their experience in Europe for the past two months.
"European football and our domestic football are simply two worlds..."
"...The gap in strength is too obvious, I can't admit it, I can't pretend I can't see it..."
"Their training system is very clear about what to do, and the thinking is unified and continuous. How can there be no results in the long run? On the other hand, we... Sigh!"
Interspersed among these interviewed pictures are various game scenes of Chinese teenagers along the way.
Without exception, they are all images of helplessness, pain, and despair after conceding and losing the ball. The tones are dark and depressing.
Especially in the first game against the La Masia Youth B team, the one that lost 0:12, there were many scenes.
It wasn't until Zhou Yi appeared on the screen that the painting style suddenly changed.
"Are you nervous for the first time? Not nervous! What's there to be nervous about? I'm not nervous about the final exam! I've been 'tested' for a long time!"
Subtitle note at the bottom of the screen: Before the Dortmund youth team match, Zhou Yi made his debut.
Then the interspersed game scene changed, from the desperate and painful loss scene before to the scene of celebrating after the team scored.
For example, after Zhou Yi assisted He Ying to score the first goal of the Chinese football teenagers in Europe, they howled and rushed forward, pressing He Ying under him.
For example, after Zhou Yi scored a goal against the Manchester United youth team, he turned over his student ID to the camera to prove that he was a student of Qingyang No. 1 High School.
When this picture came out, many people in Lin Xianrong's family turned their attention to their elders.
Someone flattered the old man: "Boy, we Qingyang will be famous now!"
Lin Xianrong shook his head and said, "Qingyang High School is a national priority."
But when he said this, he had a very obvious smile on his face, the kind of doting smile that he watched his child like to mess around but didn't intend to stop it.
※※※
Zhou Yi became a watershed. After he appeared on the stage, whether it was pictures, music or other things, he gave people a positive feeling.
Then the screen went black, and a subtitle was written on it: "The last battle, the opponent La Masia Youth B team."
The positive and sunny things before are gone, and the black background gives people a feeling of depression again, and a feeling of rain is about to come and the building is full of wind.
Next, starting from the morning of the game day, the young players get up, wash up, and then go to the restaurant to eat, listen to the coaches of the coaching staff to make today's arrangements, what time to have lunch, what time to go to La Masia, what time to play, What time will you be back...
The camera scanned the young players one by one, most of them were listening to the lecture very carefully, and they were so absorbed that they didn't even bother to eat breakfast.
There is no narration or accompanying music, and it is all presented on the spot with the original sound. Between the coach's speech, there are only sporadic crisp sounds of knives and forks touching the porcelain plate, which makes people feel the oppression and tension of the imminent battle.
The audience in front of the TV couldn't help but get nervous.
Even though they knew that they would definitely lose this game, they still felt that the teenagers had the tragic feeling of some heroes going out and never returning.
Perhaps this is the reason for the "hot blood" promoted by the TV station?
What everyone didn't expect was that the pre-match part ended here, only twelve minutes.
After a commercial, the program moved into the competition segment.
This time was unprecedented in all previous programs. This makes the audience in front of the TV very strange-the TV station spends so much time on the game? What fanfare is there in a failure?
At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team still got the first chance to shoot, threatening the La Masia Youth B team's goal. But those who have watched the last time the two teams played against each other will not take it seriously-what about threatening the opponent's goal at the beginning? It's no use not being able to score goals, on the contrary, it will irritate the opponent. It seems that this game must be another massacre, but the Chinese team is still the target of the massacre.
Sure enough, the La Masia Youth B team launched a fierce attack on the goal of the Chinese team, forming a siege.
But to the audience's surprise...the La Masia Youth B team's goal was delayed!
Ten minutes passed and the score was 0:0.
Fifteen minutes passed and the score was still 0:0.
Twenty minutes later, the score is still 0:0!
Surprised comments began to appear on the Internet: "I am stupid? What happened today? Haven't conceded the ball yet?"
"What is Barcelona doing? Hurry up and score a goal, so I feel at ease!"
"Twenty minutes or 0:0? It must be because I opened it in the wrong way!"
What surprised them even more was yet to come.
When Zhou Yi regained control of the football even though his teammates made a pass error, and assisted He Ying with a through kick to break the deadlock first, countless posts appeared in the "Successor of the Green Green" in an instant.
"I rely on rely on rely on rely on!!!"
"The Chinese team leads 1-0! I'm not lying!"
"How is this possible?! The first goal is the Chinese team!"
"Those brats broke La Masia's goal?!"
"Oh my God!"
"He Ying! He Ying! Follows like a shadow!"
"He Ying is handsome! Zhou Yi's assist is really beautiful!"
"That's right, after Li Xiang made a mistake in passing the ball, I thought the Chinese team's attack was gone..."
"I am a student of Qingyang No. 1 High School, and I am proud of Zhou Yi!"
"Landlord, can you help me get Zhou Yi's autograph?"
"I want me too!"
...
In front of the TV, many people were stunned, unable to believe what they saw.
In the first half, the Chinese team relied on He Ying's goal to lead the La Masia Youth B team 1-0. When the advertisement was released, many people were discussing with some trepidation—this is really a Chinese team. Football performance?
After the start of the second half, the La Masia Youth B team strengthened their offensive and successfully equalized the score.
When the La Masia Youth B team scored a goal, some people were relieved - they felt that the game was on the right track.
The performance of the Chinese team before losing the ball really scared them a lot.
But more people are... holding their heads in their hands in front of the TV, lamenting loudly with regret.
But after watching the tens of minutes of the Chinese team's game, they will all feel sorry for conceding the ball at this moment.
"Actually... even a draw is pretty good, their performance is good enough..." On the Internet, such a post soon appeared, and the host tried to comfort everyone.
But soon someone retorted: "But we are clearly ahead! We performed so well, why can't we enjoy the victory?"
Someone below replied: "But then the La Masia Youth B team! That is the echelon of Barcelona! Their strength is not even one star!"
"So what? We were the ones who took the lead before! We were all ahead by tens of minutes, how can we accept being equalized at this time?!"
"Let's think about it a little bit. With our strength, the game can be played like this is beyond our expectations. I am proud of these children. I have changed my view of them. I think the TV station said 'hot blood' It really did. Their performance was really good! Even if we can't win the game in the end, we have nothing to complain about, just applaud them!"
"That's what I said, but football is a game where heroes are judged by victory or defeat. If you lose in the end, everyone will still only remember the image of a loser. What if you lead by 89 minutes in the game So? As long as you lose in the end, all your previous efforts will be meaningless!"
Just when everyone was arguing, someone suddenly replied in the post: "I said... Is Zhou Yi going to be replaced? The game is already 70 minutes..."
This sentence ended all the previous debates, and everyone's attention was focused on whether Zhou Yi was going to be replaced.
In every game before, Zhou Yi would be replaced at about 70 minutes, because his physical fitness can only last for so long, and it is meaningless and useless for him to stay on the court after he can't run at all.
"Look at the show, it seems that Zhou Yi is really going to be changed!"
"Hey... It seems that this game can finally get a draw, which is already very good. People who were still debating whether to win or draw before, stop arguing..."
"Oh... what a pity!"
Just when everyone was moaning and sighing in the post, they suddenly discovered...Zhou Yi has not been replaced!
"Hey, Zhou Yi didn't end?!"
"It seems that Zhou Yi himself asked to stay on the court..."
"Look! I said if we can win, why accept a draw? Sure enough, Zhou Yi didn't give up!"
"Good job Zhouyi! Don't abandon or give up! This is the spirit of sportsmanship!"
"Even Zhou Yi didn't give up, why should we give up?!"
"Oh, I said you people...
Don't forget that Zhou Yi's physical fitness is his weakness. Although he didn't finish, what's the use of staying on the court if he can't run anymore? "
"That's what I said...but as long as Zhou Yi is still on the court, I'm still looking forward to this game!"
"That's right! The one above is right! Me too!"
"I also have expectations for Zhouyi!"
"Hey, you stupid fans of Zhouyi... Well, actually, I also have expectations, but I can't say this, it won't work!"
※※※
Netizens seemed to be excited by Zhou Yi's stimulation, but the audience in front of the TV could actually see that Zhou Yi's stay was very passionate, but in fact he was exhausted.
What's the use of staying on the court?
Some people who claim to be mature and rational think that Zhou Yi's decision is purely for his own sake, without considering the actual situation of the team at all. If he stays on the court, it means that the Chinese team will lose one player. This will only accelerate the team's failure.
But when they saw Zhou Yi yelling constantly on the field, directing his teammates to throw the football upside down, and the La Masia youth team didn't get the ball for three minutes... they were all stunned.
I'm stupid, can football be played like this? !
"Ahahaha! Use your mouth to stalk the monkey! Zhou Yi is so awesome! It turns out that you can still play football like this if you can't run!"
However, this relaxed and funny atmosphere did not last long, because everyone found that the plight of the Chinese team had not been resolved.
As the game time passed, the La Masia youth team desperately attacked. Their offensive is like a storm on the sea, and the Chinese team is a flat boat in this storm. It is light to be overturned, and the most likely thing is to be smashed into pieces by a wave...
Especially when the La Masia youth team started to press forward, the Chinese team couldn't even make it past halftime.
"Hold on! Be sure to hold on!"
At this time, even those who thought a draw was unacceptable before began to say so.
They are very satisfied if they can get a draw.
With the performance of the Chinese team, such a draw is definitely worthy of the "bloody ending"!
※※※
But some people always like to come up with some unexpected "big news".
Just when everyone thought the draw was good, Zhou Yi ran to kick the goal.
Everyone thought it was odd to see him run from a central midfield position to take the goal kick.
When they heard Zhou Yi's words recorded by the microphone behind the goal, they were even more shocked—under such an unfavorable situation, when everyone was thinking of desperately defending a tie, what Zhou Yi thought was here Hit a success rate in every attack... What he wants is to win!
Next, everyone was watching the final climax of a movie as if they were watching Zhou Yi kick out the football, and then Guo Nu, Sun Pan and Zhou Yi continued to pass the football out!
But the players of the La Masia youth team are still desperately besieging and intercepting, the situation is still very critical, and the heart of the audience in front of the TV is still hanging in their throats-if the ball is lost in this position, it will be miserable !
Zhou Yi did not make their worries come true. Through the cooperation between him and Yang Muge, he threw off the defender and passed the football to He Ying!
"Come on!" Someone in front of the TV couldn't help shouting, as if watching the live broadcast of the game.
"This is the last chance for the Chinese team! We must enter!" Someone put his hands together and prayed in front of the TV.
They have forgotten that this is actually a variety show...
※※※
The TV camera was firmly locked on He Ying, and everyone's eyes were also focused on He Ying.
Seeing that He Ying was trapped in a tight siege, they seemed to have entered a dead end, and there was no turning back, and the attack that Zhou Yi emphasized on the success rate seemed to have failed...
But at this moment, they saw... He Ying suddenly passed the football!
He crossed the football from the encirclement!
Is there anyone else following him?
Will it be another forward Zhang Tao?
The camera moved along with the football, and everyone exclaimed when they saw clearly the person following He Ying.
"Zhou Yi!?"
Incredible!
Isn't that kid unable to run?
Why is it him, why is it only him?
After catching the ball, Zhou Yi stumbled and looked like he was about to fall at any time, which made the audience in front of the TV tighten their hearts - it would be a pity if he fell down at such a time, and he fell short!
Everything happened very quickly, from Zhou Yi receiving the ball to his sudden kick to shoot, the time was so fast that people didn't have time to worry about Zhou Yi for too long, and they saw that the football had... rolled into the goal!
At that moment, many people felt their scalps exploded.
"nice shot!!"
It was Lin Xianrong who yelled, and the old man slapped him on the armrest of the mahogany sofa at the same time. Bang!
And his family didn't even bother to be surprised that the old man would lose his composure. When Zhou Yi scored a goal, they also jumped up and cheered.
Lore!
Zhou Yi, a student from Class 3, Grade 3, Qingyang No. 1 High School, beat La Masia Youth Team B!
"Ahhhhhh!" Zhou Jianliang sat on the sofa, raised his arms, and shouted in a drawn out voice. "I said it! I said my son is a genius! I said my son is a genius! My son is a genius!!"
