Chapter 708: Pick-up

Six million pre-sales may not be a staggering number in later generations, but at the time, it was definitely a remarkable number, and even many imported blockbusters did not reach such a pre-sale box office.

You must know that Duan Yun only invested four million in this "Crazy Diamond", and after the six million is divided, the investor can earn nearly two million, that is to say, before the film is officially released, Duan Yun has already recovered one-third of the capital!

All of this is going in the direction that Duan Yun originally envisioned, and now it seems that Duan Yun is about to gain much more than he imagined!

And now Duan Yun, who is playing abroad, temporarily focuses on the national football game.

Compared with the last game against the South Korean team, the national football team facing the Japanese team away this time is obviously much less under the pressure of public opinion.

However, this time, coach Jiang Tian fulfilled his promise and gave Duan Yun a starting spot.

Although it was an away game, on the court in Japan, Duan Yun still saw a lot of fans who followed the national football team, and local students and staff in Tokyo also came to the scene to support the national football team, which made Duan Yun a little moved.

Compared with the Korean pair, the Japanese team's footwork is more delicate, and the short pass coordination is quite smooth, but there is a slight gap with South Korea in terms of neatness.

And Duan Yun's starting appearance undoubtedly greatly enhanced the strength of the national football team.

For this East Asian semi-finals, Japanese fans are also quite concerned, tens of thousands of local fans basically fill the entire stadium, and the attendance rate is also amazingly high.

And the cheers of these Japanese fans are equally fanatical, shouting wave after wave, cheering for their own country's team quite hard.

However, the enthusiasm of the Japanese fans was quickly poured with cold water on their heads.

In less than five minutes after the opening, Duan Yun relied on his personal breakthrough and pushed past three players in a row with an extremely tricky angle, and the national football team ushered in a good start.

Next, twenty minutes into the game, Duan Yun once again relied on a heavy free kick to turn the score into 0:2.

Before the end of the first half, Duan Yun completed another world wave, and the Japanese fans on the sidelines finally became dumb......

In the end, the national football team won the whole game by four goals and won the second victory in the semifinals.

In fact, Duan Yun has the strength to score a few more goals, but after losing suspense about the outcome of the game, Duan Yun is more willing to 'enjoy' the game, he basically assists his teammates in the second half and dispatches the whole team's offense and defense in the midfield, playing the role of the 'heart' of the national football team.

After the game, the whole team has a day off, during which the national football players can buy some special products and gifts in Tokyo and return to China, which is regarded as a commemoration of going abroad.

This was undoubtedly a rare leisure time for Duan Yun, so the next morning, he followed a few teammates and the team's interpreter to go to several large shopping streets in Tokyo.

After some selection, Duan Yun finally bought a couple of thermos kettles, Japanese-style wind chimes, handmade dolls and other small gifts, and planned to give them to Tang Yan after returning to China.

However, what Duan Yun would not have expected was that Duan Yun, who had shined in two consecutive games, was greeted with unprecedented grandeur after returning to China.

At the moment when Duan Yun returned to China and got off the plane and walked out of the terminal, Duan Yun and the other national football players were suddenly stunned by the scene in front of them.

At a glance, there are four or five thousand fans wearing the jerseys of the national football team, holding banners printed with Duan Yun's avatar and photos in their hands, crowding the entire terminal!

Duan Yun even saw someone on the slogan of the fans with the four big words 'national hero' printed on the photo of himself playing football!

This is completely a title that Duan Yun can't afford.

Sports can boost the morale of a nation, this is definitely not nonsense, but now Duan Yun has only played two games for the national team and has received such high praise and courtesy, which Duan Yun never expected.

If Duan Yun played football just for money, then this time he finally had a sense of national honor.

"Duan Yun!Duan Yun!!"

"Duan Yun is awesome!"

"The national football team is good!!"

After seeing Duan Yun appear, the hall of the entire terminal suddenly let out a deafening cheer, and the momentum was so loud that it almost flew off the entire roof!

Next, under the dredging of more than a dozen security personnel, a few people with big bellies and official appearances in suits and leather shoes came from the exit, holding flowers in their hands.

"Good work! hard work!" The leader was a middle-aged man with a big quilt, and at his signal, several beautiful women stepped forward to deliver flowers to Duan Yun and other national football players.

"This is Xie Shiduo of our Football Association, Chairman Xie!" the coach Jiang Tian, who was walking in front, turned his head and reminded Duan Yun.

"Uh. Duan Yun was stunned when he heard this, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Generally speaking, as the leader of the Football Association, he generally only makes big decisions and management work behind the scenes, and basically does not personally come forward to pick up the players, at most only the vice chairman.

And this time Xie Shiduo actually came forward in person to welcome the triumphant return of the players, which is a very rare thing, which shows that the outstanding performance of the national football team in the East Asian semifinals has indeed caused a lot of sensation in China, so that Xie Shiduo, as the chairman of the Football Association, can't help but come out to rub this wave of heat.

I saw that Xie Shiduo first stepped forward and hugged coach Jiang Tian warmly, and after a few words of greeting, he turned his gaze to Duan Yun.

"Hehe, hello Duan Yun!" Jiang Tian stretched out his hand to Duan Yun with a smile on his face.

"Hello Chairman Xie!" Seeing this, Duan Yun also hurriedly shook hands with Xie Shiduo with a smile on his face.

Although Duan Yun was majestic this time and made great contributions to the national football team, he still showed enough respect on his face when facing the head of Chinese football in front of him.

"You have performed very well in these two games! You have played the majesty and momentum of our national football team, and I thank you on behalf of the fans across the country. Xie Shiduo said with a straight face.

"Chairman Xie, you have won the award, I just did what I had to do, and I was able to score goals, thanks to the guidance of Coach Jiang and the strong cooperation and support of my teammates during this time, and I can't do without the Football Association's care and care for our players, otherwise, I wouldn't be a fart!" Duan Yun also said polite words after hearing this.

"Hahaha!" Xie Shiduo laughed twice when he heard this, then patted Duan Yun's shoulder and said, "The future is terrifying......"

Subsequently, escorted by several airport security personnel, Duan Yun and his entourage slowly walked out of the terminal under the cheers and shouts of fanatical fans.

Outside the terminal, a luxury bus used to pick up and drop off players was already parked in the parking lot, and Duan Yun was about to follow the other players to board the bus, but Jiang Tian suddenly patted him on the shoulder and motioned for him to get off.

"Coach Jiang, what are you ......" Duan Yun turned his head to Jiang Tian and asked suspiciously.

Chairman Xie is waiting for us in the car. Jiang Tian pointed to an Audi A6 parked on the other side and whispered to Duan Yun.
