Chapter 125: It's My Chu
Colin. John knew that Chu Zhongtian was in a bad mood during this time, and he thought that maybe it had something to do with that phone call, but he didn't know who it was called and what they said on the phone. But he couldn't watch Chu be so depressed, as his boss, his friend, and his elder, he had to help Chu.
Old Bent came to drink when he saw his old buddy Colin. John was lying on the bar writing and drawing.
"What are you doing, do you want to be Shakespeare?" He leaned in to take a look.
"Shakespeare can't do it, but I'm trying to be John. Lennon. Boss John said to his partner, looking up.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Don't you think we're missing something?"
Old Bent looked around, "I don't feel like I'm missing anything." Is there any wine missing today? β
"What else do you know besides drinking?" Boss John glared at him. "Don't you think that every time we want to cheer loudly for Chu's performance in the stands, we just shout: 'Chu Chu' is a little too monotonous and unimposing?"
Old Bent thought for a moment, then nodded, "So what do you want to do?" β
"I'm going to write a song for Chu...... However, I wrote a lot and I was not satisfied. He gestured to his feet.
Old Bent noted in Colin. John's feet have a wastebasket filled with crumpled scrap paper.
It's a good idea to write songs, Premier League fans love to sing during games, and the best way to express their feelings is to either applaud or cheer, just sing. If they like a certain player, they make up a song for him and sing it during the game. The players also love the fans to write songs for them, and when they hear the fans singing songs they have written for him during a game, they feel empowered and invincible.
Old Bent picked up a random wad of waste paper from it, spread it out and looked at it, and then smiled, "It seems that you have no talent, old man." β
"If I'm talented, I'm not going to open a bar here!" John glared at him, then threw the pen away. "This is really not a human job!"
"Why don't you ask the young people? They know a lot more about pop music than we do. β
Old Bent pointed to the patrons who were sitting next to the drink, who were obviously dozens of years younger than John and Bent, each in their early thirties.
Colin. John touched his chin, then slapped his face: "Then let's have an event!" Wrote a song for Chu, made it up and was selected to reward him with a free week of beer! β
"That's a good reward, haha!" Old Bent laughed.
Wine is more important to people who often come to the bar than their wives and wives, and rewarding them with wine can really maximize their enthusiasm for participation.
β»β»β»When Chu Zhongtian rushed to work at the Wimbles bar at night, he saw a lively scene in the bar - everyone gathered in groups of three or five, arguing fiercely: "No, no, no! 'Our' should be used here, not 'my'......"
"Then that won't rhyme......"
"But the meaning is correct."
"Actually, I think I can change it that way...... Why can't we change it with a more lyrical tune? β
"Lyrical? I don't think it's worthy of Chu's style. β
"But Liverpool's 'You'll Never Walk Alone' is also very lyrical, and it doesn't feel bad?"
"That's Liverpool, we're the mad gang!"
"Be hot! Be excited! Be generous! Bang - Impassioned! Guys! Don't be like a, like you swallow water! β
"I agree, be fast-paced! That's right, be quick! β
β¦β¦ Others sang in the corners, some of them just humming quietly, while others just led to singing.
Chu Zhongtian stood at the door, thinking that he had come to the wrong place. The Wimbles Bar changed owners and business projects overnight, from a bar to an opera house...... "Oh! Chu, are you here? Seeing Chu Zhongtian standing at the door, the boss John greeted him very warmly.
"What's going on?" Chu Zhongtian was pulled in by him. Now he's a little bit more relaxed - at least the boss hasn't changed.
"We're doing an event." Boss John pointed to a piece of paper on the wall and motioned for him to look.
Chu Zhongtian leaned over and found that it read:
"Call for fan songs for Chu! Original adaptations are OK, and the style is not limited, but it must be suitable for singing on the court! The last selected author can enjoy a free selection of beers in this bar for a week! β
He turned his head to look at the lively bar.
Boss John said proudly: "It seems that everyone is very enthusiastic, haha!" β
"Hey, Chu!" Jackson saw Chu Zhongtian, who was standing with Boss John, and raised his arm and waved at him, "How about listening to the song we wrote for you?" β
"Chu is here?" A group of people who were discussing it enthusiastically raised their heads when they heard this.
"It's really Chu, come on! Hear from us! β
"I said Chu, what style of music do you like? Metal or punk? β
"How about Queen's songs? Dislike? So we can change to Oasis or U2, what do you think? Actually, I like Coldplay, have you ever heard their songs? "Yellow" is such a good song......"
"What do you think of the lyrics, Chu?" We have a Chinese boy who can play football and kung fu! He is tireless on the field and runs non-stop! Everyone is afraid of him, except us! Hahaha! 'What do you think?' If I am not satisfied, I can continue to revise ......"
Everyone enthusiastically rushed up and surrounded Chu Zhongtian in the middle.
Looking at these vivid faces, Chu Zhongtian no longer knew what to say...... He was stuffed with something called "touched" in his chest and throat, and he couldn't make a sound. He never thought that he, an ordinary Chinese student, could be recognized and supported by so many foreigners, and even write songs for him, even if he is a professional player in China, he can't enjoy this kind of treatment in the UK...... How can I, Chu Zhongtian, enjoy such a pursuit of you?
I'm just an international student and an amateur player who likes to play football. But here, I seem to have another identity - I am their hero, their idol. They love to watch me play...... He opened his mouth, and everyone closed their mouths when they saw that he was going to speak. The bar soon fell silent.
Chu Zhongtian took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, and then he bowed to everyone.
When he got up again, he said, "Thank you, thank you!" β
Periphery of Colin. John saw that under the light, Chu's eyes were flickering with waves. He coughed: "Okay, guys, go about your business, don't disturb Chu's work, I'm a little too busy to be alone." β
The crowd obediently dispersed, and there were still people giving Chu Zhongtian a thumbs up.
Boss John walked up to Chu's side and smiled at him: "Actually, they just want that week's free beer, haha!" Go to work, lad. β
Chu Zhongtian obediently walked to the back of the bar, put on an apron, and changed from a Wimbledon player to a bartender who served people.
The people who came to the bar continued to discuss enthusiastically what kind of song they wanted to make up for Chu Zhongtian.
When their mouths are dry from discussion, they will come to the bar to ask for a pint of beer, take a big sip, chat with Chu Zhongtian for a few words, hum the song they just made, let Chu Zhongtian listen to it, and then put forward opinions, so that they can continue to revise.
Chu Zhongtian felt that all this in front of him was really incredible.
Mom, can you see that? That's one of the reasons why I'm not willing to listen to you and give up football!
β»β»β» The debate over what kind of song should be made up for Chu to satisfy everyone lasted for three days. Over the course of three days, Wimbledon played their last game before the FA Cup - a 2-0 defeat at midweek.
This match was the last time Eames tested the effectiveness of the tactics of "Chu Zhongtian as the core".
So all the main players came on and used this game as a rehearsal against Chelsea. Still don't care about the result, just look at the process. It is necessary for Chu Zhongtian to be familiar with all aspects of the team, and know what he should do at any moment of the game, and what the whole team should do.
The ups and downs of the previous games made Eames and Ingrid a little worried, but this game did not happen, Chu Zhongtian assisted one goal and instigated the second. It seems that he is walking on the road to the "commander", the direction is not wrong, and the state is just right.
Now Eames can breathe a sigh of relief and look forward to the FA Cup game at the weekend.
He watched the footage of the Chelsea players being interviewed and he wasn't offended by that, on the contrary he was happy that the opponent's contempt could be an opportunity for them. If the opponent plays them as Manchester United, there is no need for this game to be compared, and they will definitely lose.
"We've got one more training session on Friday, and everybody is coming!" On the bus back to Wimbledon after the game, Eames gave his players an overview of what to expect for the next two days. "On Thursday you can have a day off. Adjust all the condition to the best for me, that's a big scene! Don't scare your legs! β
There was a burst of laughter in the carriage.
"Alright, guys, enjoy the peace before the big battle!"
Chu Zhongtian clenched his fists. He wished he could start fighting now.
In addition, he is also looking forward to what kind of song Boss John will sing for himself in the stands when it comes time for the game.
It's also strange to say, when they haven't discussed a result yet, they come to themselves if they have any ideas. But when they have some eyebrows, they are secretive and mysterious about themselves, and when they ask, they say that they want to keep it secret.
Planning to surprise yourself at the competition?
Well, I'll just be patient and see what I can hear...... Hopefully I'll still have the heart to listen to what they are singing...... Emily finally found a chance to go home this Friday, early after school ended, and instead of going straight home, she took the car to the Wimblede bar. Since she went to watch Wimbledon and Wimbledon with everyone, she has never been to the bar or Wimbledon again. She feared that if she didn't appear in front of Uncle John and them again, she would be seen as a typical example of "forgetting friends when you are famous", and everyone would start to distance themselves consciously or unconsciously.
This kind of life is not what she wants.
A person can be without money or famous, but he cannot be without friends.
When Emily appeared at the door of the Wimbled's bar, the drunken drunkards came to their senses, their eyes lit up, and they staggered to their feet to salute Her Majesty.
"Welcome to Her Majesty Princess!" Someone grabbed a handful on the head and bowed.
"Yo, Emily! My angel! Boss John was also delighted to see Emily come to his tavern again.
He was glad to see Emily famous, but he was also a little disappointed that Emily didn't come here - he always hoped that the lovely and beautiful girl would come often, just like when she wasn't famous. Everyone drank together, watched the game together, and scolded Winckelmann together.
It's just that those things that were once the most ordinary things are now gradually becoming extravagant hopes.
"Hello, Uncle John. I'm sorry I just came to see you now, Mom was too strict......" Emily apologized to everyone.
"Haha, it's okay! It's good that you remember us in your heart! "No one complained, they all understood. After all, celebrities lose some of their freedom, and Emily can still remember them, and when she thinks about taking the time to see them, they can be very satisfied.
Supporters are always easy to meet, whether it's Emily or Wimbledon supporters.
Emily walked to the bar, Boss John was busy in the back, Chu Zhongtian should have just finished training at the King's Ranch at this time, and rushed back. It's their last training session before the game and they'll be on the pitch by this time tomorrow.
She noticed a large black headset on the bar.
"Uncle John, why do you think about listening to music at work?" She asked curiously.
"Want to hear it?" Boss John winked mysteriously at Emily.
Emily looked at the large headphones and nodded.
Boss John gave her the headphones, and the headphones were about to slide down on her head, and she could only hold them with both hands and press them on her ears.
After only listening to a sentence or two, she looked at Boss John suspiciously: "Bang. Jovi's (bon_jovi) "its_my_life"? No...... Wait, the lyrics don't look like ...... What is it? Ha! Excellent! Excellent! β
Finally, when she understood the lyrics, she laughed happily.
"Not bad, Emily?" Boss John asked smugly. It is a great pleasure that the results of their hard work for three days can be appreciated by others.
"Is it a song for Chu?" Emily asked in surprise.
"Hmm. The result of the joint efforts of all of us at the bar, the recording has just been completed. What do you think? β
"Great!" Emily gave a thumbs up to Boss John. "What's the title of the song?"
βits_my_chuοΌβ Jackson next to him leaned in and said loudly.
"This is my Chu? My Chu ......" Emily muttered, then nodded and laughed: "Good name, ha! β
Boss John handed her another piece of paper: "Here's the lyrics, remember it, Emily." We're going to have a big chorus tomorrow, and if we can't keep up, it's not good! β
Emily looked down at the lyrics, and she whispered them...... At the same time, her hand was still pressing the headphones, and soon she was humming quietly to the music.
Nation. Jovi's "its_my_life" is a song from the album "Crush" released in June 2000 and quickly became popular. "Crush" has been hailed as a torch that rekindles the love of rock and roll for a new generation of Americans like their elders, and has been ranked No. 1 in cnn_worldbeat, Europe, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, Australia, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Peru, India, Finland and other countries. The song was included in the unplugged compilation "this_left_feels_right" released last November and "one_wild_night_live_1985-2001" released in 2001. There are many young people who can sing this song. And the rhythm of this song is very simple and powerful, which is very suitable for being a hymn to Chu.
This is the result of Boss John's discussion with everyone for three days, and then the lyrics are adapted on the basis of the original lyrics, and the song is directly applied. Phil, who eventually proposed to use the song's tune to rewrite the lyrics, and Jackson, who rewrote the lyrics, were rewarded with a free week of beer at the Wimbledg's Bar, much to the envy of the others.
Emily has heard this song many times on different occasions, and she herself once bought the album "Crush" on which the song is played, so she will be able to hum along quickly.
Boss John saw Emily humming quietly next to him, and smacked his lips with envy: "Sure enough, it's a song that young people like more, it's not easy for me to learn this......"
Emily heard Boss John say this, so she took off her headphones: "Were you just listening to the music in the headphones and learning to sing, Uncle John?" β
"Hey, yes. Make sure you can sing it when you play tomorrow. It's not an easy thing for a sixty-year-old man like me......"
Emily returned the headphones to Boss John: "Then I won't bother you to learn songs, come on, Uncle John!" β
When Emily left the bar, she was still humming the song she had just learned.
βits_my_chuββnowww.xstxt.orgy_chuοΌ my_chuοΌοΌ β
This is my Chu, it's my Chu!
Emily thinks the person who wrote the lyrics is a genius and literally speaks for herself...... Hey.
She shook her fist, and then thought to herself - what would Chu's reaction be when he heard this song?
Will it be exciting? Will it be happy? Will it be full of fighting spirit!
My Chu ......
