After studying domestic Weibo, publishing some photos and updating content, Zhang Yang is not much interested, but he still attaches great importance to domestic Weibo.

'Personality Publicity' Weibo has nearly 600,000 followers, and the huge fan attention has also brought him the magical ability of 'Speak Freely' and 'Lucky Blessing', but the vast majority of fans of 'Personality Publicity' Weibo are British fans.

How many fans are there in the UK?

The number of Chinese fans is definitely more than that of British fans, think about the Weibo of celebrities in the previous life, the number of fans is tens of millions, if he can have tens of millions of fans, maybe he will also get other magical abilities.

It is a bit unrealistic to publicize the current fame at home and abroad, and want to accumulate that many fans, but there will always be in the future, and when the day comes, the role of domestic Weibo will be reflected.

Relying on media reports alone, after all, you can't meet fans face-to-face, and the Weibo platform can provide this convenience.

This is the reason why Zhang Yang looks at Weibo in China.

"When you have the opportunity, you can also get a certification, and the number of fans can slowly accumulate." Zhang Yang made a plan.

When the afternoon was almost over, Zhang Yang received a message from Ebenezer asking him to go to the club tomorrow and talk to a column group about cooperation.

Zhang Yang was a little confused.

Column group?

Now in this period, the important thing for the team is to upgrade, how is it linked to the column group?

Zhang Yang didn't understand it too well, but the holiday time was very leisurely, and he was a little bored after staying at home for a whole day, just living by himself, and doing anything was boring.

The next morning, Zhang Yang went to the club.

In the meeting room of the office building, Zhang Yang met Ebenezer and what he called the column group.

"Frida?" Zhang Yang was a little puzzled, "If you want an interview, just call me, why did you still find the club?" ”

After finishing speaking, he noticed that Frida was not alone, there were three other people next to him, one was a middle-aged man fiddling with a camera, one was a guy in a suit and leather shoes, and a very familiar reporter.

"Telecom Sports?"

Zhang Yang recognized the clothing logo at a glance.

Frida smiled and introduced, "This is Mr. Thomason, the head of the column group, this Dior, and Raphael......"

waited for Frida to introduce the side, and then talked about the reason for coming.

This column group is the arrangement of "Telecommunications Sports", the column planner is Frida, Tomasson is the person in charge of external affairs, and the other two tricks are the staff.

The column team hopes to cooperate with Millwall Club to shoot a program called "Millwall: The Beginning of the New Century", which tells the story of Millwall's upgrading process in the form of a movie.

That's creative!

Millwall hasn't been upgraded yet, and "Telecom Sports" is ready to shoot the upgrade process? That's the confidence in the team!

Zhang Yang's good feelings suddenly appeared.

When Ebenezer and Tomasson were discussing the details of the cooperation, Zhang Yang asked Frida to find out that she had left the BBC sports department to work for "Telesports", and that she had planned the column and had received the support of "Telesports" executives.

"So, you've started planning your own columns?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile, he still had a little bit in his heart, why didn't Frida plan the column on the BBC, but went to "Tele Sports"?

Frida didn't want to say much about why she left the BBC.

'Probably something unpleasant?' ’

Zhang Yang guessed.

Later, Zhang Yang also participated in the formal negotiations, he didn't care about the cooperation fee, shooting time and other issues, he focused on the column shooting, and could not affect Millwall's training.

"As long as it doesn't affect normal training, I have no opinion."

Zhang Yang showed his attitude, the tone he set was the most important, and Millwall could not affect the team's training and recently the team's results for the sake of a so-called promotion column.

Telecom Sports thinks the same way.

If Millwall can't complete the upgrade, their cooperation and work will become meaningless.

This balance needs to be grasped by Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang put forward an acceptable bottom line, such as how much time to shoot every day, how much time each player can interview, which players can be interviewed, when not to be disturbed, etc., and then Ebenezer and Tomasson have targeted negotiations.

Both sides are willing to cooperate.

What "Telesports" values is that the film-style shooting is creative, does not require much investment, and the shooting time is also very short, only from now until the end of the season, probably less than two months, if Millwall can complete the upgrade, the ratings of the show will certainly not be bad.

Millwall FC is interested in partnership funding and publicity.

Shoot Millwall's upgrade as if it were a movie, and if there are many people watching it, you can make Millwall's fame out.

In addition, "Telesports" is not stingy with funding.

The cost of 300,000 pounds is not much, but it is equivalent to a year's salary of a main player, and Millwall only pays to cooperate with the filming of the column team without affecting the team's training.

It's a good partnership.

————

On the same day, the two sides finalized the cooperation, and then the column team of "Telecommunications Sports" officially settled in the Millwall club, and their filming work was progressing gradually, the most important of which were three key points -

The first point is the shooting of daily training.

In order not to interfere with formal training, only one photographer will be in charge of the work.

The second point is the interviews with the players.

This is not a one-off interview, but a game-by-game interview, and players can answer a few questions if they are interested.

The third point is follow-up interviews.

When Millwall plays, the column team has to follow Millwall all the time, and it is the whole court, which is basically the same as a few more staff members in the team.

The last point of Zhang Yang is very resistant, which involves the inside of the locker room and will be filmed, he formulated several clauses of 'never allow to affect the players', 'the shooting picture must be strictly reviewed, and those who do not agree to spread it must be deleted' before agreeing to it.

When Millwall regrouped for training, there were more people in the stadium and a cameraman who was flexible enough to capture the camera.

When the team assembled, a lot of people were discussing.

"Damn, who let these reporters in!" Frederick came early, and he saw the reporter wrinkling and complaining.

No one knows.

It wasn't until Ebenezer arrived that a simple explanation was given, but it still upset Aldous and Frederick, who feared that the arrival of journalists would distract the players from training.

Zhang Yang is the last.

Frederick couldn't help but sarcastically say, "As a head coach, you should have arrived earlier than everyone else, you came too late!" ”

Zhang Yang glanced at him suspiciously, feeling a little inexplicable, he shrugged his shoulders, "No way, I saw a blind old man who wanted to cross the street, so he helped out in friendship, you don't even have this little love, right?" ”

Frederick almost vomited blood when he listened.

Help a blind grandfather cross the street? What do the police on the street do! Why should you worry about this kind of thing? His head didn't turn around at all, in fact, Zhang Yang just made an excuse.

After assembling the team, Zhang Yang said solemnly, "You see, I'll also explain here, those people are from the "Telecommunications Sports" column group, and they want to track and shoot us!" ”

Many of the players were excited, especially young people who rarely appeared on camera, and preferred to be filmed and interviewed.

"Their column is mainly to report on our upgrade path. Yes, we both book your upgrade places in advance! This may be good news, and some media are optimistic about us. But no matter how many times you've been interviewed and how many shots you've been taken, it doesn't make sense if we can't upgrade! ”

"Also, I want to stress that I don't want to see anyone affected by journalists' filming. It's important, it's important for the team, and so are you, because the camera will record everything, and if you don't work hard in training, of course it's going to be recorded. When we get the promotion done, you don't want to hear the fans say, 'Player has nothing to do with promotion because he's always lazy in training,' and I don't think anybody wants to hear that. ”

A lot of players are more energetic.

Zhang Yang noticed that some young players had straight waists and tried their best to show that they were actively training.

That's what he wants to see.

Reporter shooting may have an impact on the player's mind, but there are good and bad influences, he hopes that the good is more than the bad, then the shooting of the column group will also play a role in promoting the team's training and games.

————

The arrival of the "Tele Sports" column group does have an impact on Millwall's training, and perhaps some players will be more motivated, but the shooting of the column group reporters will definitely distract the players' attention in training.

Most players are uncomfortable with the onlookers.

Some young players try their best to train seriously, but occasionally they still look at the shooting reporters, as if they want the other party to take a few more pictures of themselves, and this mentality affects normal training.

Zhang Yang was a little troubled by this.

However, the club and the other party have already negotiated, and there is still a long time before the next game, and there is no direct reason for him to object, after all, he is also involved in the negotiations, fortunately, as time passes, the filming of the column group has been partial, and many players have been interviewed alone, and the freshness has not slowly passed.

After a week, the players got used to it.

The reporters who stood on the sidelines to shoot could no longer affect their mental concentration, and their training returned to a normal level.

Zhang Yang was relieved.

Over the next two days, Millwall trained for the next round of the league before they welcomed their opponents, Leicester City.

This round of the league must be won.

Zhang Yang told everyone the goal of winning, "We must win, because this round is an opportunity to catch up!" Leicester City are good, it's away again, and everyone has to take the game seriously! ”

"If I find someone who isn't serious, even if it's only a minute into the game, I'll take them off!"

The flamboyant 'threatening' words still have some effect, no player can bear to be substituted in the first minute, so for the manager, just admitting the failure of the pre-game arrangement is an insult to the substituted player.

But everyone knows that Zhang Yang did it.

This young head coach is not the kind of person who pays attention to face, and may also be described as 'dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water', anyway, people who know him in the whole UK don't think he has any tactical ability, and the failure of the pre-game arrangement is not a problem at all.

————

It's time for the race.

The whole Millwall team went to Leicester.

It's a low-key journey.

In the Championship, Sunderland vs. Wigan Athletic caught the eye, and almost no one paid attention to the clash between Leicester City and Millwall.

Zhang Yang also thinks that the game will be very low-key, Millwall won Leicester and left with three points, and the process will be so simple.

Leicester City manager Mitch Adams seems to be reluctant to keep a low profile.

When Zhang Yang walked to the door of the press conference, he heard Adams's loud voice, "We have made sufficient preparations for the game and will give the Lecce fans a satisfactory game!" ”

"That's my confidence in the game!"

'People on the outside seem to be bullish on Millwall because they've won seven in a row, but in the Championship it's not easy to win eight games in a row.

Zhang Yang stood at the door for a while, listening to Adams make a victory declaration.

The media reporters in the audience listened patiently, because most of them are Leicester area media, and even the London area media who came to cover the interview will probably support Leicester City. A reporter's question caught the idea, "What do you think of Millwall's young manager?" ”

Adams didn't hide the disdain at the corners of his mouth, "Publicity? That young Chinese may be lucky, but he and I are not equal opponents! The meaning of the words is that Zhang Yang is not worthy of being his opponent.

At this time, Zhang Yang walked into the venue.

The press conference scene suddenly fell silent, everyone knew that Zhang Yang must have heard Adams's words, the reporters were expecting gossip news, looking at how Zhang Yang would respond, but Zhang Yang just smiled and didn't seem to care at all, but he looked at Adams's eyes and seemed to reveal a meaning, "You were caught talking bad about others behind your back?" ”

Adamston was a little embarrassed, but he regained his seriousness, and his eyes seemed to say, "I'll just say it, so what?" ”

I saw Zhang Yang no longer look at Adams, he walked to the stage and smiled at the reporter, and said, "I agree with Mr. Adams, he and I are not equal opponents, Millwall is third in the league, Leicester City ......"

Zhang Yang's voice stopped, looked apologetically at the reporter in the front row, and asked, "By the way, how are their results?" What are the current league standings? ”

A reporter named the number 'fourteen'.

"Ahem!"

Zhang Yang coughed lightly twice to hide his embarrassment before continuing, "Fourteenth! It's not a pleasant number, but I'd like to improve a little bit, like 13th, which is a number for Leicester City. Well, whether it's the fourteenth or the thirteenth, in short, we are not equal opponents. If Millwall wins the game, you don't need to do a report, that's normal, isn't it? Third in the league and 14th in the league, this is not a fair match! ”

Many media reporters burst out laughing.

Adams on the other side pointed his finger at Zhang Yang, and he couldn't hide his anger anymore, but he didn't know what to say for a long time, and finally said angrily, "Football games are not better than anyone else!" Let's talk about the results! ”

Zhang Yang shrugged his shoulders, and in his innocent eyes, it seemed to be written, "You picked it up first, right?" ”
