Chapter 635 Volume 5 Red Life Is Really Ups and Downs...

Tang En was watching the DVD that Tang brought back to him from China.

It’s different from the box that Tang brought back last time. This time it’s an edited version. It’s more like a reality show movie. There are protagonists and supporting roles, narration and dialogue lines. The filming has been carefully edited and it’s more like a movie. shot.

So he watched it with relish and didn't feel impatient, even though he had watched it for an hour and a half.

If the training camp for the finals in the previous three months was more professional and suitable for fans to watch, then the program for the finals this time is more entertaining, as you can tell from the fact that many female audiences came to the scene .

After all, football is a sport full of masculine charm, so there is no reason why it should not be favored by women. Now that the entertainment circle is full of neutralization, "Soccer Boy" shows the audience another kind of beauty--the beauty of masculinity, beauty of strength, beauty of speed, beauty of strength, beauty of passion, beauty of victory, beauty of failure...

Therefore, this last TV program will be mainly entertaining.

At the scene, some singers were invited to sing very passionate songs to drive the atmosphere, and then all the 14 contestants who participated in the training camp brought the audience their own rehearsed battle dance and acrobatic performances.

Tang En had no interest in these cultural programs, so he fast-forwarded and watched them backwards.

※ ※ ※

The cultural program is finally over, but fortunately, the producers of the program have not forgotten what the real purpose of today is.

The big screen at the scene began to play the relevant VCRs of the players, from some videos of them when they were young, to the tidbits of their participation in the audition, and the details of the general training camp, coupled with the comments of the Chinese and British coaches on them, to the audience. All to reintroduce these two lucky guys.

Why do you say two?

Tang En turned his head and looked at Tang who was sitting next to him and had not spoken.

"Why are there only two people? What about Chen Jian's introduction?"

Don shrugged. "No."

"No? What does this mean? Of the three finalists, only two were introduced by VCR, and the other one had nothing but a simple appearance screen..." Tang En narrowed his eyes, looking a little annoyed. "What are those idiots doing?"

"I don't know either." Tang replied honestly, he really didn't know.

※ ※ ※

Yes, Wang Yang and Song Hui's introduction VCRs appeared on the big screen, but Chen Jian's was not. When the contestants came out one by one from the backstage, both Wang Yang and Song Hui had hosts to present them grandly.

"This is China's future Cesc Fabregas—Wang Yang!!"

"Song Hui! He may become China's future Leo Ferdinand!!"

Then it was Chen Jian's turn.

"Welcome Chen Jian from Chengdu, Sichuan!"

It's over, it's over, the introduction ends here.

In the joyful scene, no one noticed such an episode, everyone followed the host's instructions, and no one had time to look back and think about whether the introduction just now contained any deep meaning-of course, before the finals, the result It must have been out a long time ago, but everyone doesn't know it yet.

Chen Jian didn't take it to heart. In fact, when he appeared on the stage, he was waiting in the backstage, watching the two companions running out one after another, and hearing the former famous commentator introduce to the audience with his usual passionate tone, he still had some expectations in his heart—it will be his turn in a while Now, what will the host call?

Who is China's future?

No one, no one.

He was pushed to the front stage so simply.

Wang Yang is the most handsome and most popular player on the Internet among the three, and Song Hui has always been the captain of the general training camp. They may be better than Chen Jian in every aspect, so even if they finally get a ticket to the Premier League , should also be a matter of course.

But Chen Jian was still looking forward to it in his heart. Someone outside said that he was lucky to reach the final, but only he himself knew that it was not because of luck.

Earlier in the day, the three finalists were asked to film a self-portrait to introduce themselves before going on stage.

As an organizational midfielder, Wang Yang's declaration is very suitable for his position: "I believe that football is played with the brain, and I will play with wisdom like Cesc Fabregas!"

Song Hui also introduced what he is best at: "Speed, coordination, and stability are my strengths. I am suitable for the Premier League."

It was Chen Jian's turn, and he felt discouraged at the first sentence, making people feel timid before fighting: "I may not be the best at the game..." Then he paused, "But I am definitely the most persistent Yes. My name is Chen Jian, Erdong Chen, strong Jian. My father gave me this name because he hoped that I would be persistent and strong. I firmly believe that attitude determines everything.” This is the reason why he was able to reach the final three—that Definitely not equal to luck.

It's just that he said that, many people still think that it's just a beautiful scene...

After Chen Jian came out, he stood in the middle, with Wang Yang on the left and Song Hui on the right. The two hosts also stood apart, one on the left and the other on the right. They had short interviews with Wang Yang and Song Hui respectively. One person asked Song Hui how he was feeling at the moment, while the other praised Wang Yang for being handsome, and his popularity was so high that he stole away many fans of another handsome host, causing the audience to burst into laughter.

No one went to interview Chen Jian. The two hosts turned around and introduced the two coaches who came to the scene. One was the former Chinese international footballer and the other was the former Arsenal captain Kenny Sansom.

Chen Jian stood in the middle, his dark skin, dark sports coat and black stage background almost blended together, he was still smiling and said nothing.

After introducing the coaches, it is time to introduce the units that participated in the draft and provided strong support for the event—the Youth Department of the Chinese Football Association, Everton Club and Bolton Club. There is no Nottingham Forest, which until now has remained a secret to the vast majority of people.

Alan Adams sat in an inconspicuous corner of the auditorium, watching the scene with great interest. The audience has been completely brought into the pre-set situation by the host, and when they come out at the last moment, it will definitely have a sensational effect and will definitely impress everyone.

Things are going according to plan...

※ ※ ※

Don waited backstage, he needed to come on at the last minute, and nothing happened to him until then. There is also a TV in the lounge. When he has nothing to do, he just sits on a chair and watches the live broadcast on the TV.

Maybe other viewers are focusing on Wang Yang Yu Song Hui who was grandly introduced by the host, Tang would not do that, he kept his eyes on Chen Jian - of course, this person appeared on the TV screen when.

He has no interest in such entertainment programs, he only cares about things related to his mission. As a result, he already knew that it was just a present brought back this time, would Tang En like it?

There are four breaks in the middle of the 50-minute live broadcast. At this time, the host will say: "After the commercial, let's go back to the scene." Then when the lights are dimmed, everyone will have a five-minute break. Go to the bathroom or do whatever you want , but most people stayed at the scene for convenience.

Tang also finally had a chance to look away from the TV and go to the toilet for a while. The program has reached the last stage, and the advertisement is back, but the final answer is about to be revealed.

※ ※ ※

Chen Jian looked at the noisy crowd around him and decided to go to the toilet. In fact, he had no intention of urinating.

He's just nervous.

The show has been going on for 40 minutes, everything that needs to be said has been said, and the performance that needs to be seen has also been seen. What is left? Of course, it is to announce which two will be the lucky ones to go to the Premier League. This is the theme of this episode.

No matter how happy and harmonious the front is, there will be hidden murderous intentions...

So Chen Jian was nervous. No matter how calm and tenacious he was in the previous tests, he couldn't help being nervous when facing the unpredictable fate.

He went to the toilet, and then he bumped into a guy in the toilet door.

The man apologized to him and hurried away. Chen Jian felt a little strange, because the person he bumped into looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before, and he couldn't remember the name.

Just as he was figuring out who this familiar face was, his train of thought was interrupted.

"Hey, 9527!" Wang Yang's voice sounded behind him. "You come to the toilet too...I didn't expect you to be nervous."

Chen Jian turned his head and smiled at his competitor: "Sure, this is the final."

"It's like shooting a penalty kick, haha!" Wang Yang smiled and was in a good mood. Everyone who can enter the top three has confidence in his own strength, and Wang Yang feels that he will definitely become one of the two final lucky ones. His skills and awareness are the best among the fourteen, and coupled with his high popularity, he doesn't think he might be eliminated in the end.

Not seeing Song Hui, Chen Jian asked, "Where is Song Hui?"

"He..." Wang Yang curled his lips, "He's chatting with his parents, he doesn't look nervous at all."

"He is the captain." Chen Jian continued to laugh.

Wang Yang looked at Chen Jian's face strangely. "I said, 9...Chen Jian, when can you stop laughing?"

Chen Jian felt strange: "Why don't I smile?"

"Let me be honest...among the three of us, you are the most unsure, right?" Wang Yang really said "honestly".

Chen Jian froze for a moment, then nodded. He still has self-knowledge.

"So, why are you still laughing now? It seems like you have a plan in your chest..." Wang Yang was a little depressed, even if he was in a daze for a while, the smile quickly returned to Chen Jian's face.

"If you don't laugh because you're not sure, isn't it even less sure?" Chen Jian said, "At least when I laugh, I feel more sure..."

"You are deceiving yourself!"

"It's a psychological hint..."

"Well, whatever." Wang Yang shrugged, "Anyway, the spirit is not omnipotent, but here it is." He pointed to his temple.

Chen Jian didn't refute his words, he continued to smile, making Wang Yang unable to guess what he was thinking. Wang Yang grumbled depressingly, and turned into the toilet.

In fact, Chen Jian believes that court wisdom needs to be accumulated through time and continuous competitions. To put it bluntly, it is experience. Before that, the only weapon he could rely on was "spirit".

Being disturbed by Wang Yang, he didn't intend to go to the bathroom anymore, and he didn't want to urinate anyway, so he just turned around and went back, quietly waiting for the verdict of fate.

※ ※ ※

After the five-minute commercial, the screen cuts back to the studio scene.

The three players are sitting on the chairs on the left. Opposite them is the coach's bench. Now one of the two seats is vacant. Apart from the two hosts standing in the middle, there was also Kenny Sansom. Seeing this formation, everyone knew that there was no nonsense, and the final result was about to be announced soon.

Even the contestants who had already been eliminated and could only sit in the back seats felt an inexplicable tension and...excitement.

Not to mention the three people sitting in the chair at this moment.

Song Hui, who was evaluated by Wang Yang just now as "not looking nervous at all", also had a serious expression at this moment, while Wang Yang himself was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his eyes. Chen Jian still had a smile on his face, but in the eyes of outsiders, this smile was a bit stiff.

"The most exciting moment has come!" The ex-commentary host shouted loudly. In fact, he already knew the result, but he wanted to pretend to be more excited on the surface in order to bring the audience into the play.

"Yes, it's finally here!" His partner, the handsome young host whom he used to tease Wang Yang echoed.

The live music representing "nervous mood" sounded, and the dull drumbeat sounded like the heartbeat of the three contestants. The TV broadcast gave a close-up of each of the three contestants for about ten seconds. It's like saying:

Who will be the two lucky ones to go to the Premier League in the end? It's him? It's him? or him?

"I believe everyone already knows that among the three players, only two will be able to go to the Premier League club to receive the highest level of professional football training in the world." The host repeated this cruel rule again, giving the already nervous The atmosphere was inflamed. "Who on earth can go to Everton or Bolton?"

He smiled. For a person who knew the result, seeing the nervous expressions of the three contestants in front of him was really amazing.

"Next, our British head coach Kenny will make the announcement..." He handed over the command to Kenny Sansom who was standing beside him.

Kenny Sansom didn't talk nonsense, and pointed directly at Wang Yang: "Wang Yang, go to the box on the left."

There were three boxes on the scene, one on the left, one in the middle and one on the right, all three now covered and no one knew what they contained - Everton, Bolton shirts, or nothing .

So being called to stand up is not considered a victory. Wang Yang stood up and walked to the box on the left, where he stood in front.

The host's voice sounded: "Open it! See what's inside?"

Wang Yang lifted the lid obediently, a smile flashed across his face, but it disappeared quickly, and then he took out a white jersey from inside!

He thought he could go to the stronger Everton...

Someone cheered at the scene, probably most of them were Wang Yang's fan club.

"Bolton! Congratulations to Wang Yang!" The host also exclaimed excitedly, and the tone really made people think that he only knew the result. "Come on, show it to everyone, and see what you have in your hand!"

Wang Yang raised the Bolton jersey in his hand, the great happiness made his movements a little awkward. Then he walked around to the coach's bench, hugged and thanked the Chinese coach, and returned to the stage to hug Kenny.

At the same time, the host invited Wang Yang's parents to stand up and give a speech.

Next, there is only one chance.

"Now there are two contestants, they still have a 50% chance to go to England, who will it be?" The host paused.

Kenny said first: "Song Hui." He wanted to ask Song Hui to go to the box.

The host came up with a better idea, one that kept the suspense until the end. He interrupted: "Chen Jian, you go too. Both of you go at the same time. Song Hui, you go to the middle box, and Chen Jian, you go to the right."

So Chen Jian also stood up from his seat. He tidied up his clothes and his emotions at the same time, trying to calm them down so as not to make a fool of himself.

"Go slowly, then stop in front of the box, stop for a while..." The host was still sensational. "You can close your eyes, think carefully about the road you have traveled in the past three months, and think about everything you have paid... Now that dream is in the box in front of you, covered by a lid, as long as you open it It... the dream came out of its shell!"

Song Hui closed his eyes, but Chen Jian did not.

"Okay...open them! Look inside..."

The host was still saying that the two teenagers had already lifted the lid in front of them at the same time. In the same shot, Song Hui on the left was stunned, while Chen Jian on the right only lifted the cover halfway, and then covered it again.

"... what!"

Chen Jian closed his eyes this time, and he raised his head, not wanting others to see his expression.

Next to him, Song Hui reached out and grabbed a blue jersey from the box, it was the second ticket to the Premier League!

The audience rejoiced.

※ ※ ※

"I have to say, the on-site effect of this bastard's design is great." Tang En turned to Tang and said.

Tang just smiled and motioned him to continue looking down.

※ ※ ※

"Everton! Congratulations to Song Hui! He won the last dream ticket!" The host continued to sensationalize.

Amidst the cheers, Chen Jian looked a little lonely, he turned and walked back.

The camera swept across the contestant's bench, Zhao Rui looked disappointed and kept shaking his head.

Song Hui next to him came up and hugged him, and now everyone's eyes focused on him. Not many people were optimistic about him winning the final victory... Didn't he say it himself? "My game isn't the best"...

The host originally wanted to say: "The 'smiling man' finally shed tears..." Such sensational words. But when he observed carefully, he didn't see a trace of tears on Chen Jian's face.

The kid didn't cry, even though the arc of the corner of his mouth was replaced by a tight squeeze, and even though his brows were wrinkled, he just didn't cry.

This discovery made the host very disappointed. The sensational lines he had thought up were useless...

The organizer made this gimmick, hoping that the parties involved would shed tears at the last moment, move countless people, and push the atmosphere of the show to a peak, so that when the surprise comes later, people will be impressed and sigh, "Life is really ups and downs... ...".

Without the contrast in the front, what dramatic effect does the turning point in the back have?

He really wanted to make Chen Jian cry, so he said: "Chen Jian fell outside the threshold of his dream, what a pity, what a pity! But sports are so cruel, there will always be winners and losers... "

Chen Jian and Song Hui had already walked back to the stage, and Wang Yang also went to hug Chen Jian. As the distance got closer, the host still didn't see tears on Chen Jian's face, even if there was no trace of crying...

He sighed in his heart, failed. This kid is more tenacious than he imagined.

The procedure had to continue, so he had no choice but to shift his target to Song Hui who won the victory, and praised him greatly. At the same time, Song Hui's father was also invited to stand up and send a message to his son.

What a heartwarming scene...

No one will notice Chen Jian who is not in the TV camera. His parents are also here, but they have no chance to stand up and say some big truths and show their warm family scene.

Alan Adams looked at Chen Jian on the stage with great interest. He was obviously disappointed, frustrated, and in pain... At this time, the best way to vent is to cry, and it feels good to cry. But this Chinese boy chose the most uncomfortable way - he insisted on holding back his tears in front of everyone, so as not to let others see his weak side.

Surrounded by a joyful atmosphere, Chen Jian suddenly thought of Zhao Rui, the first person from Northeast China who stood up to toast him last night. I thought of how he hid in the toilet and cried bitterly after he was out of the penalty shoot-out due to a cold and fever in the last test.

How is it possible not to vent? He feels as if a boulder is blocked in his chest, and he is so uncomfortable that he is about to suffocate. Now he only hopes that this program will end soon, let him find a place where there is no one to cry, then wipe away his tears, and go back to school to report again. He wrote a deep self-criticism about his skipping classes, and assured his parents that he would definitely study hard and finish his studies... as if the half-year period had never happened.

He had a wonderful dream, and now he woke up.

When Song Hui's father was sending messages to his son, the host kept glancing at Chen Jian who was standing next to him, wanting to see his performance, his performance without being noticed... He was disappointed, the boy was still tense With a straight face, not a single tear fell. But the sadness on his face could not be concealed no matter what.

Silly boy, you don't even know how lucky you are. If those two contestants find out about your results, I guarantee they'll be mad with jealousy...

Song Hui's father finally finished speaking. The host took over the command again, he congratulated Song Hui and Wang Yang again, and then looked at Chen Jian.

"For the first time, the smile disappeared from the faces of our 'smilers'." He said, and everyone followed him to look at the sullen Chen Jian.

"At this time, maybe I should comfort Chen Jian and tell him not to be sad. But it is useless, because the result has already been announced, and it is impossible to change... All of us have seen Chen Jian's hard work in this selection. The one who works the hardest out of the four contestants!" At this moment, the treatment that he did not receive before was returned to him at this moment, and it was only at this moment that the host introduced him grandly to the audience. "What you see on TV is only a small part of his efforts. There are many places we can't see, where the cameras don't exist, outside the show... As he said when he introduced himself, Attitude is everything, his attitude... makes even the pickiest Kenny Sansom speechless!"

The image of Sansom appeared on the big TV screen. He said to the camera: "This kid is the hardest player I have ever seen." There is no need to remark who "this kid" refers to in the subtitles, because everyone knows Who is he talking about.

The Chinese coach: "He knows his own shortcomings, so he has been strengthening his training in those areas. He is very smart. Hard work can make up for his weaknesses. It's true. He didn't get to the end by luck."

Chen Jian turned his head to look at the two coaches' evaluations of him on the big screen, and was a little surprised. He had never heard this from these two people again—he always thought that because of his poor skills, he didn't like the coaches. Woolen cloth……

The reaction of the audience also changed, and the buzzing sound of discussion sounded from the auditorium below the stage.

The host laughed, no matter what, the last trump card was played, and the atmosphere of the scene finally developed towards the side he wanted.

He coughed and attracted everyone's attention again: "Then, let me announce the last result."

The scene fell silent.

last result?

Chen Jian looked confused.

"But before I announce it, I'm going to show you a little clip!"

The big screen was pitch black, and after a whistle sounded, an excited voice sounded. It was the host's own voice——

"The match is over! Congratulations to Nottingham Forest from England, they won the 2006-2007 UEFA Champions League!!"

The picture came back on, and the Nottingham Forest players in red jerseys were cheering around the field to celebrate their victory. The hustle and bustle from the Olympic Stadium in Greece hit the eardrums and hearts of everyone present through the big screen and audio equipment...

Albertini ran at the front holding the Champions Cup, and behind him were faces all the players were familiar with—George Wood, Frank Ribery, Rafael van der Vaart, Ruud van Nistelroo Yi, Van der Sar, Pepe...etc.

Of course, the head coach Tony Twain, who is very popular among the fans because of his character, is also indispensable.

He was lifted by the players and thrown into the sky.

There were warm cheers and exclamations at the scene. This is the condition for Alan Adams to accept that his club can only pick the third place-in the end, the organizers must give Nottingham Forest a grand promotion. This kind of treatment, Everton and Bolton clubs have not enjoyed it.

Alan Adams, who was sitting in the auditorium, was very satisfied.

Someone has already reacted, at least Song Hui and Wang Yang looked at Chen Jian differently.

What is Bolton? What about Everton? Can it compare with the new European champion Nottingham Forest?

Just when the scene was filled with amazement, Tang had already appeared on the stage, standing beside Chen Jian. Chen Jian turned his head to look at him, and then he realized that the person he saw familiarly after bumping into him in the toilet just now was the assistant coach of Nottingham Forest, a Chinese named Tang!

Tang Xiang smiled friendly to the surprised Chen Jian, but said nothing.

Chen Jian noticed what Tang was holding in his hand - a ball of fiery red... jerseys.

The host who was a commentator announced in an excited tone: "Now, let us also congratulate Chen Jian! His reward is - a one-year training at Nottingham Forest!!"

"Great!" Zhao Rui was the first to stand up on the contestant's bench, and cheered for Chen Jian with his arms raised high. "Chen Jian, that's great!!"

Dazed for a moment, the smile returned to Chen Jian's face.

Indeed... great.

Although he is the third place, the reward for the third place is better than the sum of the first and second place, even better!

"Now, let Nottingham Forest's assistant coach, Tang, present the jersey to Chen Jian!"

Amid the cheers, Tang personally handed the Nottingham Forest jersey to Chen Jian: "Welcome to Nottingham Forest, Chen Jian." He said in Chinese.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you..." Chen Jian could only say this.

The ups and downs between sadness and joy made him speechless for a while, his brain was completely blank, and he temporarily lost his ability to think. Life is really ups and downs...

The host handed over the microphone to Tang, and asked him to say a few words to Chen Jian, in fact, to the TV audience.

"We have been paying attention to this program. Coach Tony Twain has high expectations for this program..."

※ ※ ※

Tang En turned his head and glanced at Tang: "Did they tell you to say that?"

Tang smiled and shook his head: "No, this line was not in the original line, I added it temporarily."

"Hey!" Tang En rolled his eyes, turned back and pressed the play button to continue watching.

※ ※ ※

"...We are very happy to see the performance of the children." Tang turned to Chen Jian and said, "And your performance is very good. You have a very outstanding quality, which is what we did from the initial auditions to the finals. Observation. That is your whole heart and soul. So, we decided to join this program and give you a trial training opportunity in the UK for a year, and hope that you can become a member of us in the future. Welcome to Nottingham Forest, Chen Jian ’” he repeated.

There were loud cheers and applause again. Everyone loves a happy ending with a happy ending, don't they?

※ ※ ※

After turning off the video, Tang En turned back to look at Tang.

"If Chen Jian is the protagonist, this is indeed a great story. At least it is inspirational enough and has enough twists and turns."

Don laughs.

Tang En was unwilling to admit verbally that the football draft program was better than he had imagined, so he used this kind of oblique method.

Indeed, during the draft process, he was dragged by Tang to make up for it afterwards. The level of discovery was higher than he thought. At the very least, there were no good or bad guys selected. The fourteen people who were able to enter the general training camp were indeed capable, and the three people selected in the end also had their own outstanding points. For example, Wang Yang does have the ability to direct the game on the court, Song Hui's speed and composure are not bad among the players, and Chen Jian, his physical fitness is enviable, and his persistence and hard work have also brought him sweet fruits .

Very fair result.

Tang En's smile made Tang En a little embarrassed.

"Okay, okay...I admit that my judgment on this event has been a little biased. But let's not continue to entangle with such trivial matters. I will ask you a very professional question now—" The expression on his face Get serious. "What do you think of that guy's ability?"

"It's worth a year of training." Tang answered seriously.

"His game is indeed the worst of the three..."

"But I think his foundation is better than that of Wood."

"You said that, I remembered. When I first saw his performance in the audition, I thought of someone..."

"George Wood, right?"

Tang En nodded.

"Their personalities include characteristics, and they are indeed alike in some respects. That's why I'm suddenly interested in him..."

"But we already have George Wood. And I don't think he can reach Wood's current height." Tang En interrupted Tang.

"I also agree that his talent may not be as good as that of George Woodgold...but no one knows what will happen in the future, so I just said that it is worth training for a year." Tang's tone was indifferent and flat, as if he was discussing his compatriots future.

Tang En was silent for a while. "What you said makes sense. Anyway, even if it's just to fulfill the original agreement, we have to train him for a year, so let's use it. The other two clubs may treat it as a commercial activity, and we will make trouble for ourselves. My kid uses the most formal youth training model. Isn't he the best at persevering? I'm going to see how long he can last in Wilford this time..."

Tang En laughed as he spoke, it was the devil's smile.

"'Smiler'? Don't think that you are complete after a thrilling final. To realize your dream, it is not enough to experience such a little difficulty..."

"Are you going to be the final boss again?" Suddenly, Tang asked from the side.

"Who else but me?"
