Chapter 101: It's not easy to see each other again
In fact, to be honest, "Christmas Boy" is worthy of being a small film with a small investment and small production, although it was released at a very opportune time, it still did not leave any too loud sound throughout the Christmas schedule. Throughout Christmas, the whole UK and even the world are discussing the latest release of "The Lord of the Rings 3", which is the last part of that classic masterpiece, from "The Lord of the Rings 1: The Fellowship of the Ring" to "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers", and finally to this "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", the plot has reached the most, and it has also caused heated discussions among fans and fantasy fans around the world.
Because the original book of this movie is the Englishman John. Ronald. Riel. Tolkien (john_ronald_reuel_tolkien), so the British audience is particularly fond of this film.
As for "Christmas Boy", Emily may be the biggest winner of the movie, after the premiere of the movie, reports about this London beauty who is only 20 years old gradually increased, searching for her name on the Internet, there are no less than 100,000 pages related to it, to know that search for Emily before the movie is released. There are fewer than a thousand Stan's names, and there are many irrelevant search results.
The British entertainment media reporters who received the money have taken Emily. Stan has touted the UK's most anticipated female artist of the next decade. Some have even touted her as the next "Kate. Winslet", the British actress who became popular all over the world by playing the role of Ruth in "Titanic", did not consider whether such a tout would be too sensual.
If I had to describe these things in one sentence, it would be- "Emily. Stan, a twenty-year-old Wimbledon beauty, is on the road to fame."
Because of this, she was very busy throughout the Christmas holidays, and Chu Zhongtian was often able to see Emily's name and smile in various media. The film magazine interviewed her about what it was like to be electrocuted for the first time; Fashion magazines analyze her taste in dress and praise her fashion sense; Entertainment gossip magazines introduced that she had been on the camera as early as 1988 and was known by fans across the country; She also recorded interviews on television, spoke with her passionate fans on the radio, and starred in commercials that appeared on television and various print media.
In short, there are thousands of incarnations, in newspapers, magazines, on television...... Her signature sweet smile can be seen almost everywhere.
But this does not make Chu Zhongtian feel that the girl is very close to him, on the contrary, these things can only make him feel that the distance between the two people is being widened, and the gap is gradually forming. At least there are many competitions, and she can no longer go to the scene and hold "Chu, come on!" The sign cheered him on.
On December 27 of the league, John Boss they did not see the star Emily in the stands. When Wimbledon Athletic beat Renes Park Valley 7-0 away, Emily was being interviewed on a radio station to interact with her fans.
Because Eames has already released his words, this game on the 27th is the next FA Cup game of the state test match, and those who do not meet the physical condition and game condition requirements will be eliminated from the squad, so every Wimbledon player on the field seems to be scrappy, even in the opponent's home stadium, still poured seven goals into the opponent. Eames was pleased to see that none of them showed signs of having a small belly, running fatigue, or being lazy after the Christmas holidays.
"I'm very happy with your performance, but I can't let up yet, and until the day of the game, I follow one rule - whoever is in good shape will be played!" Eames said to the main players after the game.
No one objected because they all knew the importance of the game. In fact, whether you can play or not is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that your team must win, and you must beat the team that is still called "Wimbledon" in Milton Keynes!
※※※ Chu Zhongtian only met Emily again at the Wimbles bar on January 2. Aside from going to the movies that day, it was the second time he had seen Emily - the Emily he had seen in the media was not counted, they were not real at all.
Unlike usual, this time Emily not only wrapped herself in a large trench coat, but also wore a low-pressed peaked cap, and most of her face was covered by toad sunglasses. So when she walked in, she immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the audience, but no one could recognize her at the first time.
Including Chu Zhongtian.
He politely asked, "May I ask this lady what you need?" ”
was able to recognize that this was a woman in front of him, but he didn't see the specific age, and Chu Zhongtian could only call him "madam".
"A pint of Guinness, man."
It wasn't until the familiar voice sounded that he came back to his senses.
"Emily?" He exclaimed.
Everyone in the bar stood up.
"Haha!" Emily smiled happily, then took off her hat and sunglasses, and opened her trench coat to reveal her petite body inside.
"Looks like my disguise is good! Not even the closest people can recognize it! Emily winked at Chu Zhongtian triumphantly.
"It's Emily!" The people in the bar got excited.
"Long time no see, Her Royal Highness Princess Dons!"
"I thought you wouldn't come back, Emily. You're a big star now! ”
"Hey, I'll go out and see if there's any paparazzi stalking, and if they dare to follow, I'll let them taste my fist!"
"I've watched the movie, it's a pity you only have three lines, I think you're much prettier than that heroine, Emily!"
Everyone expressed their longing for Emily.
Emily greets them one by one.
Chu Zhongtian was pouring Emily beer.
As he brought the beer to the table, Emily was still greeting the enthusiastic drinkers.
She had already taken off her large trench coat and hung it on the coat rack, Chu Zhongtian looked at Emily's graceful body behind the bar, and thought of the scene where she and her hugged each other in the movie theater...... Emily, who had turned around, returned to Chu Zhongtian, she picked up the beer and took a sip: "It's still better to drink here." ”
"Guinness is available all over the world." Chu Zhongtian said with a smile.
"It's weird, Chu. I've been to bars and drunk Guinness in the U.S., but it just doesn't taste right. Why not, I can't tell, but it just doesn't taste as good here. ”
"Has the beer gone bad?" Chu Zhongtian teased casually.
Emily shrugged: "Who knows?" ”
"You must be busy these days, right? I've been able to see you in the media several times a day. Chu Zhongtian asked.
Emily grimaced at him embarrassedly. "Fortunately, it's finally over."
"For a star, don't you feel that you are left out too quickly after being busy for so many days?" Chu Zhongtian himself didn't know whether he should be happy or regretful when he said this.
"I'm not a star." Emily pouted, "I'm just a newcomer who just debuted. There are new people like me every day, and if it weren't for my mom and Mr. Johnson stuffing money, I wouldn't be able to concentrate on so much multimedia. "She knows how she got famous.
"Don't you like this kind of life?" Chu Zhongtian could hear that there was some unpleasantness in Emily's tone.
"If you can, everyone wants to be able to succeed with their true strength, right?" Emily asked rhetorically.
Chu Zhongtian thought for a moment, and then shook his head lightly: "The rocket needs to be boosted if it wants to go to the sky." It's the same with football, no matter how good a player is, if he doesn't get the favor of scouts or the likes of the manager, I am afraid he may not be able to reach a position that matches his level. ”
In professional football, there are many players who are extremely talented themselves, but are limited by factors such as team tactics and staffing, and the manager's personal preferences, and become mediocre. And in China, this thing is even more naked - there is money and connections, and you are not afraid to go all over the world.
"Of course I know you're right, but I'm just a little reluctant......," said Emily, with a pouting look of annoyance.
"Don't worry, with your strength, you will soon be able to make a greater name in this circle!" Chu Zhongtian comforted. "You're going to be a big star all over the world!"
At the same time, he said in his heart: That also means that we will be farther and farther away.
"Thank you, Chu." Emily smiled at Chu Zhongtian. "By the way, I watched the disc that Uncle John sent me. I would say it was a good game, and it was a great pass, Chu! Your three months of training every day, rain or shine, have finally paid off! ”
Emily stretched out her hand and placed it in front of Chu Zhongtian.
Chu Zhongtian knew what she meant, so he also waved his hand and high-fived her.
"Thank you for your sparring, you have a credit too, Emily." He suddenly thought of a lyric, but unfortunately Emily wouldn't understand the meaning of singing it.
The military medal has half of mine and half of yours...... have_you_half_of_the_medals, also_i_have_half? I wonder if Emily can understand if she sings like this...... Since the match against Notts County, Chu Zhongtian has passed that kind of accurate long ball in other games many times, and he believes that it is because of his insistence on continuous training and an excellent "coach" by his side. But in the end, it's all Emily who persistently persuaded herself to play football in the first place.
Now his goal was to stabilize this pass, so that he could truly become a stunt that could be used at any time, rather than the six-vein divine sword in Duan Yu's hand. He now has big goals and big ambitions, and after more than a season of regular competition, he is no longer satisfied with just defending, although defense can also make a contribution, and blue-collar workers are also very important, but he wants to take the whole game into his hands...... At that point, he can't always count on a flash of inspiration to control the game, right?
"I'm just cheering you on, it's always easiest to be a spectator." Emily shook her head, not wanting to be greedy.
"Thank you, Emily. By the way, will you go to watch tomorrow's game? "If it was before Christmas, Chu Zhongtian would think that it was a question that was asked in vain, and of course Emily would go to the game, as long as she returned to the UK. But looking at how busy Emily was during this time, he was really worried that Emily, whose identity had changed, would not be able to go to the game live. Although this game will be broadcast live to the whole country if nothing else, watching it in front of the TV is always not like watching it live.
"Of course I'm going to see it." Emily gave him a reassuring answer and a smile. "This is an invitation from Chu, how could I not go and see it?" It's like she once invited Chu Zhongtian to watch her movie premiere, but she didn't contact Chu Zhongtian for various reasons, but fate, or fate, they met at the premiere. Chu Zhongtian fulfilled his promise to Emily, and now it is naturally Emily's turn to fulfill his promise to Chu Zhongtian.
A team from the ninth tier of the FA Cup has reached the third round of the FA Cup, which is unthinkable for 99 per cent. But Chu and Emily both belong to the remaining one percent. Chu worked hard to help the team win game after game, and finally reached this third round, so why didn't Emily go live to watch the game? Even if there was a big event that day, she would go to the scene to watch the game regardless of it.
"Good opponents." Emily winked at Chu Zhongtian.
Chu Zhongtian smiled: "Our whole team thinks it's very good, I even think that last season when we decided to upgrade, the fighting spirit of the whole team was not as high as it is now." ”
Wimbledon FC ...... Or should I call them 'Milton-Keynes-Dons' now? Emily shrugged.
It's not news that the team will soon change its name.
"Actually, I don't hate them much now, even that Pete. Winckelmann, I won't give him the middle finger if I see him again...... Well, maybe. Emily thought about it for a moment and then changed her words, and she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. The bright red and moist fragrant tongue made Chu Zhongtian's heart suddenly beat a few times.
Just when Chu Zhongtian's soul was almost out of his body, Emily's voice came again.
"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't know you, I wouldn't know so many lovely people, and we wouldn't have a team that we can be really proud of. Are you right, Chu? ”
Chu Zhongtian nodded. In that case, he also has to thank Pete, who old Bent and they called "bitch-raised". Winckelman, because if it weren't for him, he might have known Emily. Stan, but there's no way he's going to be such a close friend to her.
Fate, fate, what a wonderful thing.
"So, I'm going to watch that FA Cup game."
In fact, just last night, Emily's mother wanted to take Emily to the United States for a vacation and relax after hard work, but Emily very tactfully rejected the offer. The reason she gave was that she had to make up for her homework, otherwise she would miss so many classes and go to the United States to play, and she would not be able to graduate in June next year.
Considering that an actor can't graduate from acting, it's not good for Emily's image to spread out, and her mother can only agree to stay in the UK. But she also told her daughter that once she graduated, she would move to the United States with her, where she would officially settle down and develop her career.
Therefore, to be able to drink beer with Chu and everyone at such a carefree time, there is only the last half of the opportunity to chat and get together.
During this half year, if she could, she didn't want to go anywhere, so she stayed in England, in London, in Wimbledon.
Emily raised her glass and poured the rest of the beer into her stomach in one gulp, not looking like a woman at all.
"Hah!" Emily exhaled in satisfaction, placed the quilt on the table, and jumped off the barstool.
"I have to go back, Chu. I snuck out and couldn't stay long. Emily waved at him. I'll definitely be watching the game that day and I'll be cheering you on. You've got to behave better! ”
She took the trench coat and put it on, then put on the cap and sunglasses one by one, and returned to the way she had come in. Then she waved goodbye to the others: "Goodbye, everyone. ”
"I'm going back so early, not playing any longer, Emily?" Someone enthusiastically retained.
"No, I can't stay out for long......" Emily shrugged helplessly.
"Ah, we understand......" the drinkers nodded, "you're a public figure now, you need to be careful." ”
"See you on the day of the game, Emily!" Someone waved at her.
"See you on the day of the game, everyone."
"Be careful on the road, I'll clear the way for you to get out, Your Highness Princess!" Someone had already run out to check in to make sure there were no suspicious people outside before running back to signal Emily to go.
"Let's go, Your Highness Princess!" A crowd crowded to the door and waved to Emily.
Chu Zhongtian was funny watching it from behind, didn't they make more people notice Emily like this?
"Go back!" Emily smiled goodbye and turned to leave.
It wasn't until Emily was out of sight that the group reluctantly returned to the bar.
"Although Emily remembers us old lads and can come to the bar to see us. But I always felt that these days would not be long......" muttered Old Bent.
"I'm going to be a big star."
"It's a bit of a shame, but it's good. Emily wouldn't be right if she had been obscure. ”
"Yes, yes, she's destined to be famous. It's also amazing that we can get a big movie star out here. Hey, Colin! Someone yelled at Boss John, "Emily's picture is still hanging on your wall, and when Emily becomes famous, your bar will be famous." Don't let us come here for a drink! ”
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't let people in for drinks, am I still a bar? Boss John glared at the man. Don't worry, as long as you pay back the drinking money, I'll let you drink enough! ”
A crowd burst out laughing.
Chu Zhongtian also had a smile on his face, but he didn't actually think that this was a very happy thing to laugh at all.
