Chapter 3 The Novel "Football Boy"
At the end of July 1966, the lively World Cup came to a successful conclusion, and the English football team won the first World Cup title, and the whole country celebrated, and the pride filled the hearts of the British people.
Proud feelings, coupled with the pleasure of playing, Alan Smith also reaped the benefits of the first lottery, with a principal of 200 pounds, odds of 1 to 11, and a profit of 2,000 pounds.
After a few days of celebrating the joy of the World Cup victory and writing with all his heart, Andrew spent three years of his spare time preparing to complete the junior chapter of his football novel.
After a comprehensive review, revision and sorting, a separate book is titled: "Football Youth".
Then, after dividing the chapters into several locations, the number of copies was determined, the deposit was paid, and the delivery date was agreed with the store.
Of course, the short story is written. The first thing to do is to invite the family to have a glimpse and a reading experience. As early as a few days ago, the family received a solemn invitation to read like Andrew's little adult, and the time was scheduled after breakfast on the day off. Whether it was to encourage Andrew or something else, the family happily accepted the invitation.
After breakfast on the day off. After tidying up in the dining room, Andrew solemnly asked his family if he had arranged anything else and was about to enter the reading experience.
The family members were stunned and happy for a while, and they all nodded their heads to confirm that other matters had been arranged and they could immediately enter the reading experience.
But when Andrew handed over a stack of 200,000 words to his family, the family was still surprised. Although they knew that Andrew was writing novels a few years ago, their families thought that it was Andrew's interest and just practiced, but they didn't expect to write so many words.
Faced with the manuscript of the novel that Andrew had spent so much effort to write, the family had to be cautious and read carefully in order to provide Andrew with the right reading experience.
The main content of "Football Boy" is that it tells the story of a scientist named Henry in the 22nd century who was flipping through the family history books and saw a volume of the memoirs of his great-grandfather Sillin.
The memoir records Xilin's regrettable football life, because of the limitations of physical fitness and talent, although Xilin loves football, works hard, endures loneliness, and spills blood and sweat, but at the age of eighteen, he still can't enter professional football.
After being persuaded to retire by the academy team, Cillin went to various teams for trials, experienced humiliation, but finally failed. After that, Cillin reluctantly left the football world and lived an ordinary life, leaving behind a volume of memoirs of lifelong regret until his death.
Reading the volume of his great-grandfather's memoirs, Henry was deeply moved. It was decided to use the technological capabilities of the 22nd century to create a bioenergetic chip football system that connects to the human brain.
Through four-dimensional space-time technology, the football system was put into the mind of the ten-year-old grandfather 200 years ago. Helping the emaciated, average talented, but loving football grandfather has regrets all his life, changed his fate, and achieved the road to football superstardom.
The book "Football Boy" describes Xilin's football career as a teenager. After getting the football system at the age of 10, how to use the help provided by the football system to gradually improve your physical fitness, work hard to learn football skills, and improve your skills. And in the youth football game, he struggled and grew up with his teammates, and gradually stood out in the youth football world and achieved the inspirational story of a young star.
In the book "Football Junior":
The physical condition of the protagonist Xilin, the degree of achievement of the ball skills, and the digital description allow readers to clearly understand the difficult process of Xilin's progress.
The protagonist Xilin's spiritual world description of perseverance, hard work, and passion allows readers to empathize with Xilin's love and dedication to football.
In the plot of the game, the meticulously described and dazzling ball skills make the reader fascinated. The description of the tense and bloody game process makes the reader feel immersive.
The football teenagers in the article have both the joy and passion of success, as well as the distress and bitterness of failure.
Families read books in their respective places, and as they progressed, they were all captivated by the engaging texts.
On the side, Andrew, who has been paying attention to his family's reading, is a little relieved, it seems that the book "Football Boy" can still arouse the taste of the British.
It was almost noon, and the family was still immersed in reading books. Seeing that lunch time was about to be delayed, for the sake of his family's health, Andrew had to speak out, disturbing the family's interest in reading.
Andrew shouted, "Guys, it's time for lunch." ”
"Ah, Andrew, what are you doing?" the mother grumbled at him, looking up at him.
"Andrew, you kid interrupted me reading. Father yelled at him angrily!
"Andrew, you're so hateful, I was just about to see Cillin about to perform a wonderful stunt volley barb, and you interrupted me. The eldest brother also complained along with his parents.
Only the second brother is not disturbed by the outside world, and is still immersed in reading books.
Andrew didn't repay his kindness, so he had to point to the restaurant clock depressedly and explain the reason to everyone.
Oh, it's twelve o'clock at noon, why does time pass so quickly! Parents, big brother came to his senses.
"How about everyone eat a snack at noon, relax and rest, and continue reading in the afternoon?" his father was the first to suggest.
"Okay, that's it. Mother responded cheerfully.
"Don't, everyone, I've been reading it all morning, give me some response, my novel, how is your reading experience, what is the evaluation?" Andrew said hurriedly.
"Well, this book is very good, the Spitfire meteor that shoots vigorously from a distance, it is amazing, the ball speed is 100 km / h. There is also that frontal barb, called the scorpion swing tail, volleying down with his heels cocked and shooting, weird! I can't imagine that in a football game, you can still kick and shoot like this!" The eldest brother Arthur was the first to comment.
"This book is very good, a juvenile inspirational novel, with a positive meaning. Father's succinct assessment.
"Andrew, my dear son, the Cillin you wrote, at such a young age, such a hard practice, it hurts to watch!"
"Everyone's book review also ignores one point, this is a novel that readers can understand and accept the future technology to serve ordinary people in reality.
The scientific and technological achievements from the 22nd century, the bioenergy chip football system that connects the human brain, this premise is very sci-fi. However, it is reflected in the actual use of the protagonist Xilin, but it is very practical and intuitive, and the digital physical condition parameter setting allows readers to intuitively understand the use effect of future scientific and technological products on the real human body.
In my opinion, this is the highlight of the book. John, the second brother who likes science fiction, also came out of the world of novels and joined the family's book reviews.
Based on the reading experience of the family, it is evaluated as an inspirational novel with novel materials, a good-looking plot, and a positive heart. Knowing this, Andrew was relieved for the most part.
"Thank you parents! Thank you, eldest brother, second brother! Don't be in a hurry to read, rest well, just have time to read. After Andrew thanked him, he advised his family to pay attention to rest.
In the afternoon, Andrew was not going to stay at home, so he decided to go out for a stroll, take a break, and in order to finish finishing the novel, he didn't have a good rest for more than ten days.
Came to the street and walked around aimlessly. I went to the park stadium to watch an amateur ball game of the uncles. Since today is a rest day and there are many idlers, the uncles' amateur ball game still attracts a lot of people to watch the excitement.
The free audience was still quite powerful, and the outside of the stadium was filled with cheers, laughter and scolding, and applause rose and fell with each other, and it was lively.
The uncles who played football, seeing that there were so many spectators to cheer, the players on both sides also worked very hard, played seriously, and tried their best to show their good skills to repay the enthusiasm of the audience.
After watching the uncles' performances for a while, Andrew shook his head speechlessly, anyway, it's boring, let's just take a look, just join in the fun. To be honest, this group of uncles, except for the strength and momentum, is not worth mentioning. Individual skills, midfield organization, and defensive level are all very amateurish. It's not as good as the football literacy of the middle school football team.
As for the excitement, the audience participation is quite high, which may be related to the fact that England has just won the World Cup. The national team is the World Cup champion, and the national pride is still full of heart, and the enthusiasm for football has not diminished.
Thinking of this, a thought came to Andrew's mind. It's a good thing that the enthusiasm for football hasn't waned yet.
My football novels can still catch the tail of the influence of the World Cup, and the prospects are promising! I have to discuss it with my father when I go home to see if I have any familiar contacts with the publishing house. If the publishing house can recognize the book "Football Boys" and release it as soon as possible, it can really rub off the popularity of the World Cup and help the sales of the book!
With an idea in mind, Andrew immediately left the park court and returned home without delaying on the way.
The family was still watching "Football Boys" in the restaurant, Andrew didn't bother them, went straight to his father, and whispered, "Father, excuse me, I have something to ask for help, can I go to the study to discuss?"
The father and son came to the study sofa and sat down, and the father Allen asked Andrew, "Andrew, you say, do you have something to ask for help?"
"Yes, father, it's about the 'Soccer Junior' novel. Andrew said.
Andrew explained to his father Allen what he saw in the park, the enthusiastic participation of the audience in football, and what he thought of it.
Andrew thinks that now that England have won the World Cup, the enthusiasm for football has not diminished. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the release of the book "Football Juniors" may go relatively smoothly.
After listening to Andrew's thoughts, his father Alan pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but bowed his head and said, "Andrew, you have a good idea, and you have a lot of business thinking. And the article in the book "Football Boys", in my opinion, is still good. You can ask the professionals of the publishing house to evaluate the commercial value of the published books, and your request for help is to ask me to find the publisher's contacts. ”
"Yes, Father, that's what I requested. Andrew responded.
Father Alan nodded in agreement, saying that after a while, he would immediately contact a friend from the publishing house. If nothing else, when I go to work tomorrow, I will bring some of my novel manuscripts and visit friends at the publishing house. At that time, it will be up to Andrew's novel manuscript to assess the market value in the eyes of professionals.
"Thank you, father, and hope for a good outcome. Andrew thanked his father.
