Chapter 23: A New Era

Chu Zhongtian, who likes to be the winner, became the focus of media attention after the award ceremony, and he and several other winners held trophies for the photojournalists to take pictures, one trophy in his left hand and one trophy in his right hand, which was obviously the focus of the photo. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The photo appeared in a lot of media the next day.

And what Chu Zhongtian said when he won the award also became the focus of everyone's discussion. He appeared somewhat arrogant, with some criticizing him for being too rampant, others praising him for his straightforwardness and courage.

There are also Chinese netizens who ridiculed Chu Zhongtian for not thanking the motherland first, which is not right. Of course, this time, no official from the General Administration came out to accuse Chu Zhongtian of not thanking the country first. Chu Zhongtian is the one who participated in the filming of China's national image film, and the officials of the General Administration are not going against him.

August was a good month for Chu Zhongtian, and his performances in the Champions League helped him win the best midfielder and best player awards in the Champions League. In addition, his first film was released in mid-August. He did not attend the premiere because he was busy preparing for the new season of Real Madrid, and as a new player, he should still focus on football and reduce the moths outside the stadium.

So he stayed in the stadium to train and didn't go to the premiere. He simply recorded a video in his hotel room in Madrid to congratulate the film on its premiere and played it at the premiere.

In China, because of Chu Zhongtian's gimmick, the publicity and promotion of this movie has worked very well. Yang Yang's company and major theaters jointly launched various activities, such as how to watch the "Wimbledon Love" lottery to win Chu Zhongtian's autographed Real Madrid shirt, "Wimbledon Love" The top five in the national juggling tournament can go to the Bernabeu to watch Chu Zhongtian's game. Yang Yang also spent money to open up joints, hired reporters to write soft articles and hard articles in various media to promote movies, and many sports magazines and newspapers paid attention to a movie, which cannot but say that Yang Yang's public relations company did a good job.

In addition, there are many promotional activities that do not cost money at all, such as Chu Zhongtian joining Real Madrid alone, which is equivalent to advertising countless times for the movie for free. Chu Zhongtian has become the fourth highest player in history with a value of 70 million euros, and perhaps the third highest player - at present, there is still a debate in China about whether 70 million should be regarded as the third or fourth highest transfer value in history, and the focus is on whether Ibrahimovic was worth 80 million euros when he transferred from Barcelona to Inter Milan - the title has greatly satisfied the national pride and vanity of Chinese fans, coupled with the hype of the media, all the news about him has been turned over, How can a movie with a banging draft before it run? So the movie appeared in people's field of vision here.

It was under such circumstances that the film was released worldwide.

China and the United Kingdom are the two main battlegrounds. The choice is in August, first, at this time, many students are at home during the holidays, and they have the time and conditions to go to the cinema to watch movies. You must know that among Chu Zhongtian's fans, many of them are students who love football.

The film had a box office result of 15 million yuan on the first day of release, which is already very good as a film with a small investment - why is it a small investment? Because of the heroine Emily. Stan doesn't ask for a salary, and he and his husband invest in the movies they shoot together, so of course there is no need to ask for their own money. The actor was also paid a very low salary because he was selected by the draft, and a large number of supporting roles in the film were played by friendship, and he didn't spend money at all, so the investment was very small. Most of the investment is actually spent on commercial publicity and promotion...... So if this film is not successful, the most pressure is definitely not the production company and film crew, director, actors, screenwriters and others, but Yang Yang.

Fortunately, after the results of the first day were transmitted back to the company's headquarters, Yang Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

The storyline of this film is very clear and inspirational, and the combination of love, friendship and football is quite good, especially the FA Cup match with Chelsea at the end, which is very cleverly handled and makes people watch the blood boiling. Andrew. Morahan completely took out the level of his filming "One Ball Fame 1", and interpreted the passion of football to the fullest.

Many sports fans praised this film, and many people who don't watch football are fully able to accept this story and devote themselves to it. To each his own is the success of this film. Wu Qingyu's slightly youthful but natural performance coupled with Hollywood A-list actress Emily. Stan's superb acting skills have made critics praise the film as well.

There are even media who say that this film has brought out a new star in the entertainment industry, that is, Wu Qingyu.

A week after its release, followed by the strong publicity and promotion of the media, as well as the popularity of Chu Zhongtian and Emily, the film rushed to a box office height of 40 million yuan, which was not the best box office result of a Chinese film in the first week, but as a sports movie, it is already possible to have a celebration party with such results.

Anyway, the first movie that Chu Zhongtian invested in and shot got off to a good start, which is something that makes everyone happy.

Later, Chu Zhongtian won the Champions League Best Midfielder and Best Player awards in one fell swoop, making him the focus of media attention again, so "Wimbledon Love", which has not yet been offline, took advantage of his spring breeze to go to the next level, and has gone to the goal of 80 million domestic box office.

The movie also had a good performance in the UK for a week of release, the UK is already a football country, and the female lead is their pride. Stan, naturally, is going to be on the show.

In the first three days of its release in the UK, it grossed £7.5 million, which is far inferior to the all-time No. 1 "Harry. Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1), but it's also very good.

The box office in the UK alone in three days has more than 70 million yuan, and now the global box office of this movie has broken 100 million yuan, and it is still rising.

Chu Zhongtian made a lot of money when he invested in making a movie for the first time, and his position in the list of the world's richest people should also be improved...... ※※※ The movie is just a part of Chu Zhongtian's life, after the training, I care about it, and I am still in a good mood when I see the box office being red across the board.

But football is his main business.

In order to promote the film, Emily flew all over the world during this time, especially in China, and went to several cities to participate in various activities to promote her film. So Chu Zhongtian is alone these days, and the house has been found, but it needs to be renovated, so Chu Zhongtian continues to live in the hotel room for the time being. Originally, there was a ready-made decoration, but Chu Zhongtian didn't like that decoration style, and the location was not particularly good, so he re-chose a house, this house is located in the famous rich area of Madrid, la_finca, many Real Madrid players live here, and the head coach Mourinho is also a resident here, but he rents a house, and the rent is as high as 20,000 euros per month.

The house that Chu Zhongtian valued was not far from Kaka and C. Luo, two friends in the team, a kilometer away. Because Chu Zhongtian can speak Portuguese, he has a good relationship with the Portuguese circle. At Real Madrid C. Ronaldo, Kaka, Marcelo, Pepe and Carvalho all speak Portuguese, so they have a good relationship. At the same time, Chu Zhongtian also speaks German, so he often has a very good relationship with Ozil and Khedira, and the three of them sometimes make an appointment to go to a German restaurant to eat German food. In addition, Chu Zhongtian speaks English and French very well, so he mixes well with the players from the Premier League and Ligue 1 in the team, Benzema, Adebayo, Gareth. Bell can also talk to Chu Zhongtian very happily. In addition, although Spanish is still being learned, Chu Zhongtian also has a good relationship with those Spanish players who can speak Spanish and can communicate, such as Casillas and Xavi, who has played in England. Alonso and Arbeloa can both communicate with Chu Zhongtian in English.

In fact, there are many conflicts caused by language barriers, and as long as they are communicated, there are no major problems.

Chu Zhongtian was originally quite low-key, he didn't come here to compete for the boss, so he wouldn't threaten Casillas and Sergio. Ramos and C. Ronaldo's position, everyone is happy to associate with him. In addition, he has been in business for many years, and Chu Zhongtian can be regarded as having dealt with all kinds of people, and he is as handy as a fish in water in terms of how to get along with people.

In the Real Madrid team, which has a complicated relationship in the locker room, Chu Zhongtian is a little exquisite, and he is left and right.

Chu Zhongtian is used to smiling, and when he comes to an unfamiliar environment, it is the best choice to keep a smile at all times, and it will definitely not make people feel disgusted.

The house is being renovated, and it will take at least three months to move in, and Chu Zhongtian will have to live in the hotel during this time. There were once people who were worried that this would affect Chu Zhongtian's state, but Chu Zhongtian was not worried, because wherever he lived was the same, and he would never be in a different state because he lived in a hotel or at home.

Coming back from the Champions League award ceremony, the new season is already looming.

Are Real Madrid and himself ready?

※※※“…… In the new season, all teams in La Liga are recruiting and strengthening their strength. Among them, Real Madrid is the most generous, buying Chinese player Chu for 70 million euros, setting a record for the transfer fee in European football this summer, and buying Tottenham Hotspur's flying wing Gareth for 30 million euros. Bell, fifteen million for Adebayo, five million for Parejo...... In comparison, Barcelona has invested much less......"

This is a special episode produced by TV before the start of La Liga, which is dedicated to the performance of various La Liga teams in the transfer market this past summer.

Real Madrid is the most eye-catching, and the 70 million euro acquisition of Chu Zhongtian has caused a sensation around the world, and it has also shown their courage.

Another 30 million snatched Gareth from many other competitors. Bell is also the envy of many people, you must know Gareth. Gareth Bale's performances in the Premier League and Champions League last season were outstanding.

Barcelona, on the other hand, has been very cautious in its investment. They believe that Barcelona's squad is already very reasonable, and there is no need to spend a lot of money to buy any stars to supplement the team. On the front line, they have the trident combination of Messi, Villa and Pedro, which is already the most powerful forward combination in Europe, and no one feels as good as these three.

Barcelona have been attacking Cesc Fabregas all summer and Xavi is old and needs a successor. Cesc Fabregas is the perfect candidate. But Arsene Wenger is determined not to let go, and Cesc Fabregas is not willing to go back to be Xavi's replacement, although Xavi is old, but he is only 31 years old, and if he is in good shape, it is not a problem to mention that he is 35 years old. Do you want to go back and sit on the cold bench for another three or four years now? In the Spanish national team, Cesc Fabregas was suppressed by Xavi and could only play as a substitute. Why would he give up his place at the heart of Arsenal to go to Barcelona as a substitute? Is it because of the love for Barcelona?

Cesc Fabregas is not stupid.

In the end, Barcelona were also unable to succeed in bringing Cesc Fabregas back to Camp Nou.

Barcelona have been pretentiously pursuing Cesc Fabregas, but it is their centre-backs who are at stake. At the age of 33, Puyol's form has declined, but his backline with Piqui remains a solid guarantee for the team. But it is always necessary to find a successor for Puyol.

Gabriel. Milito has been plagued by injuries since joining Barcelona, and has not been able to play for the team systematically, and has not been able to show his quality in Zaragoza. If Puyol can't do it, neither can Milito. Barcelona have not ruled out the possibility of purging him from the team.

Now Barcelona has only Gabriel. The three centre-backs, Milito, Pique and Puyol, can be very nervous when someone gets injured.

The only thing that can be reassured in Barcelona is Pique.

Barcelona's hierarchy is only eyeing Cesc Fabregas, while Pep Guardiola is sober and has been asking the team to find a suitable centre-back for him to strengthen the squad at centre-back. Puyol is old, he is too physically exhausted in the game, he can be inattentive at times, and as a centre-back, one mistake can be fatal, so Guardiola has to be cautious.

Barcelona bought a Ukrainian defender Ziglinski, but the Ukrainian centre-back returned to Shakhtar Donetsk just one season, and Barcelona's centre-back still hasn't found any reassuring candidates.

This season Pep Guardiola has urged the club to find a high-level centre-back for him. Because he saw Real Madrid's recruitment, it made him feel threatened, especially the addition of Chu Zhongtian.

In the Champions League final, he has already seen Chu Zhongtian's power. He knows that this is a guy who can rewrite the whole game by himself, he is now a player of his arch-rivals Real Madrid, and he has to deal with something himself.

In the end, Pep Guardiola spent 8 million euros from the club to bring in the main central defender of the German national team, Perl. Mertesacker (per_mertesacker). The 1.98-meter-tall Mertesacker has outstanding physical qualities, with excellent jumping, outstanding headers and a knack for controlling air supremacy.

His arrival will change the situation that Barcelona's defense can only rely on Piqué alone, and it is an effective supplement to Barcelona's defensive tactics. When Barcelona face opponents who are adept at playing high balls, he can put Mertesacker and Piquee on at the same time, so that the alarm will not be sounded too often in front of goal for Barcelona.

In addition, in the right-back position, Pep Guardiola has also added to the manpower. Although Daniel. Alves is very good at running, he has good fitness, he hardly needs to rotate, but there are always times when he is injured, and now in the right-back position, Alves is actually the only one, and if he has something long, there will be big problems in Barcelona's backline. So to be on the safe side, you need to stock up on enough manpower here.

In the end, they paid (alexander_anyukov) 11 million euros for Anyukov, the Russian national team's right wing-back, who is known for his outstanding assist ability, similar to Alves' characteristics.

Not only Real Madrid and Barcelona, but the entire La Liga team is seizing the time to bring in reinforcements, although from the current point of view, La Liga is a deformed league monopolized by Real Madrid and Barcelona, but other teams also need to fight for their own goals, such as Valencia, Sevilla, Villarreal need to compete for Champions League qualification, and other teams also have their own goals. Those in the middle of the table will be looking to push their way up to qualify for the Europa League, while the promoted side will be looking to strengthen their efforts to ensure they stay in La Liga next season.

In the midst of such excitement, La Liga is about to kick off.

With Real Madrid spending more than €100 million on just four players this season, Mourinho believes his squad is almost complete and will be on their way to an even bigger goal this season – the 10th European Cup in the club's history.

If he can lead the team to this trophy, he will become the manager who has won the European Champions League three times, and his name will be forever etched in the history of Real Madrid.

On September 1, two days before the start of the Spanish Primera League, the UEFA Super Cup was played in Monaco.

Hoffenheim, who lost Chu Zhongtian, lost 1-2 to Europa League champions Liverpool in the game. They lost their first title of the season.

After the game, the German media had only one opinion - "Hoffenheim without Chu is no different from an ordinary Bundesliga middle team." ”

Rangnick praised the team's fighting spirit after the game, but refused to answer the reporter's question of whether the loss of Chu was the main reason for the defeat.

From today onwards, Hoffenheim will usher in a post-Chu Zhongtian era, and Chu Zhongtian himself will create his own era at Real Madrid.
