Volume 1: When a Male Appears, People Pay Attention. Chapter 44: Acquaintances

After the game against Tottenham, Liverpool's international players left the team one after another to report to their respective national teams. (Update this Piaotian Literature

Chen Yingxiong also left Liverpool. This time he is flying to the United States to shoot a TV commercial for the Red Bull beverage he endorses.

Chen Yingxiong's personal characteristics match the characteristics of Red Bull drink quite well. They both have endless energy.

Therefore, the creative idea of ​​this commercial film starts from here.

It is revealed that the reason why Chen Yingxiong has unlimited energy on the court is because he drinks Red Bull.

Chen Yingxiong met an old acquaintance while filming the commercial.

"Is that you?" He pointed at the director of his commercial and said in surprise.

The other party burst out laughing: "I received this job notice and found out it was your film, so I laughed, hahaha! What a coincidence!"

This old acquaintance was none other than Karim Medjani, the director of a series of commercials for the Panda brand of milk that Chen Yingxiong shot in Egypt, a Frenchman of Algerian descent.

"How did you get to the United States?" Chen Yingxiong also felt that the world was really small.

When shooting a commercial, he could meet the same director again. He and this director were really destined.

"I came to the United States to develop." Medjani briefly introduced his situation in recent years to Chen Yingxiong.

Although he had always been in commercials when he debuted, as a director with movie dreams in his heart, Hollywood is his dream place. So he left his career in Europe and chose to come to the United States to start from scratch.

Currently, I am gradually integrating into this circle by filming various commercials and MTV.

Unexpectedly, I received an advertisement from Chen Yingxiong.

Chen Yingxiong congratulated him on achieving his dream of becoming a "Hollywood director" as soon as possible, and Medjani naturally thanked Chen Yingxiong.

If old acquaintances cooperate, then there is no need to talk nonsense, and everything will be perfect.

They were also very familiar with each other, so the filming process went very smoothly.

It only took one day to complete all the shooting, and Chen Yingxiong even had time to go shopping.

But he didn't go, he was dragged to dinner by Medjanilla.

He said he wanted to introduce a friend to him.

Only after Chen Yingxiong went there did he find out why Medjani invited him to dinner. He recently got a book that he wanted to shoot and is currently looking for investors. He admires Chen Yingxiong's talent in acting. If this plan can be implemented, he would like to invite Chen Yingxiong to play a guest role and use Chen Yingxiong's popularity to promote himself, which can be regarded as free advertising. Of course, Chen Yingxiong will not be missing in terms of remuneration.

Chen Yingxiong, a person who likes to have fun, is naturally very interested in filming movies, and he expressed his intention to participate as soon as he heard about it. He also offered his own opinion.

"You can't be the kind of character who just says, "Hey, are you okay, are you okay?" and then disappears! "

"That's no problem!" Medjani pointed to the quiet man wearing black-rimmed glasses next to him and said to Chen Yingxiong, "Jones will take care of everything!" The person he called Jones was the one he wanted to introduce to Chen Yingxiong. I know a friend, Jones and Jackson, who is also the screenwriter of this movie.

Seeing Medjani mentioning himself, he nodded: "What type of role do you want to play, a hero?"

"Play a bad guy, the kind that is bad to the core"... Some people can't do it in real life, so let's enjoy it in a virtual movie.

Jones thought for a while, then nodded: "No problem, there is just such a character, but it's not bad to the bone. But that's not a problem."

Then he roughly told Chen Yingxiong his story.

Jones Jackson's story is an urban romance film, relatively literary. As a newcomer to film, directing this kind of film is much less stressful for everyone. Because there are no dazzling stunts, no need to build amazing sets, no big scenes, and no need to use any special equipment, the cost is low and the risk is low, which makes it easier to find investors.

Although it is a romance film, it still has to have a villain and conflict, so Chen Yingxiong also has the opportunity to appear.

After hearing this, Chen Yingxiong frowned: "To be honest, the box office of this film may be... I'm not a professional, I just think this story is not suitable for the mainstream market." Jones, however, did not take it seriously: "It doesn't matter. This is our first movie, so it won’t be a hit all of a sudden.”

Medjani, who was next to him, nodded in agreement: "We are both newcomers in Hollywood, so... we have to walk step by step, haha!" Chen Yingxiong thought about what they said, and it made sense. I have watched too many successful Hollywood movies, and I refer to that standard for everything I watch. Anyway, whether they can succeed or not has little to do with them. If they successfully find investment, then they will become addicted to acting, just for fun.

He raised his glass: "Then I wish you can find investors as soon as possible and become famous in Hollywood as soon as possible!" xxx

After returning from the United States, Chen Yingxiong flew directly to Italy and spent a day with Cabrera. Then flew back to the UK.

He went out for two days to shoot a commercial on the first day and arrived in Italy the next day. Truly a trapeze artist.

After returning to Liverpool, he joined the team's training and did not seem tired at all from flying half way around the earth.

People have to sigh that Chen Yingxiong's physical fitness is really good. His teammates have also returned one after another, and the Melwood training base has finally become lively.

They are participating in the Brazilian World Cup qualifiers in each region. This year is 2012, less than a year away from the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and the qualifying matches on all continents have also entered a white-hot stage.

But all this has nothing to do with the national team.

The Chinese national team did not even enter the top ten, and once failed in the top twenty. It became one of the first teams in the world to prepare for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Therefore, on this kind of match day, the national team arranges some friendly matches.

Now there are rumors that the National Football Association is dissatisfied with the high rent of Camacho and his assistants... and plans to hire Capello to coach the national team.

I don’t know why the Football Association is so troubled.

Anyway, before the national team match day, it is inevitable to scold the Football Association and ask them to publicly apologize, and then recruit Chen Yingxiong to the national team. This is not a cliché. This is all "menstruation".

The National Football Association has now developed a shameless attitude. In the face of criticism and doubts from the public and the media, it remains silent and does not express its stance.

Chen Yingxiong didn't bother to pay attention to them. When he was in Naples, he used to accept interviews to express his position on the national football affairs, but now he has stopped mentioning it at all.

Let’s play well in club games…

Moreover, it will be another consecutive double-match week, and the first game when the league resumes is the Merseyside Derby. This time it’s Liverpool as a guest at Goodison Park.

As Martin O'Neill's first Merseyside derby, he still takes it very seriously.

In terms of strength, Liverpool has reopened the gap with Everton, but this game is away and it is a derby. All experience and principles in the general sense are unreasonable when encountering Derby.

Everton can definitely beat Liverpool at home. Playing at your home court has a huge advantage.

The head coach attaches great importance to it, but most of the players actually don't take it seriously. Liverpool's performance is very good now. In nine league rounds, they have seven wins, one draw and one loss, with 22 points, ranking second in the league.

Especially the 3:1 victory over Tottenham at home made many people see the rebirth of Liverpool.

So everyone was quite relaxed.

For them, even if it is an away game, it is not difficult to beat Everton.

Liverpool and Everton have been entangled for a hundred years. Who still doesn’t know who is the other?

Even if Liverpool performed so poorly last season, wouldn't they beat their opponents at home and away?

That can be a double kill, so our performance this season is better than last season. Is there any suspense in this game?

The Merseyside derby only exists in name only. Just like the Madrid derby, Atletico Madrid has not beaten Real Madrid in more than a decade. The last time they won, Spain hadn't started using the euro as their currency.

So Liverpool have every reason to believe they can have an overwhelming advantage in the derby.

Before the game, the pro-Liverpool media were not even talking about their opponent Everton, but their match against Everton in the Europa League. Liverpool was going to challenge Anderlecht away from home. If Liverpool can win this team away from home, then Liverpool's situation in qualifying for the group will be great.

Martin O'Neill noticed this mentality of underestimating the enemy in the team, and he warned the players.

But few people took his words to heart. Everyone, including Chen Yingxiong, thought the head coach's reminder was just a routine matter. The game should be played as it should be.

It's just that everyone still has to act like they value their opponents on the surface.

Suarez said in an interview with reporters that they attach great importance to their opponents.

"Everton is a very strong opponent and we certainly cannot underestimate them because this is their home court and we will have a very difficult game! We are thinking about them now and we just want to beat them. I I can’t wait for the game to start soon.”

Although he said that we will never underestimate the enemy, Suarez still smiled confidently when he said these words.

Just like that, the 218th Merseyside Derby between Liverpool and Everton began.

At Goodison Park, Liverpool encountered a stubborn blockage they had never imagined!

As Suarez said - it was indeed a very difficult game. ! .
