Before the match against Cologne, Emily returned from Wimbledon to "experience life". In fact, the www.biquge.info of writing and fun is not an experience of life, and going to Wimbledon is to go back to her own home, where she is more familiar than in Sinsheim, and she does not need to experience it at all. She's just there to enjoy the trip home. There, there are her "old friends", her favorite bars, and of course, the football team she cares about the most.

So it might be more appropriate to say "vacation".

When she went to Wimbledon for a vacation, the script created by Lin Hai Tingtao was being revised for the fifth time, and the first four times were all read to Chu Zhongtian, and every time she read it, Chu Zhongtian would put forward a lot of revisions for Lin Hai Tingtao to revise. Lin Hai Tingtao said that after listening to these revisions, he would simply rewrite them, because after listening to these revisions, new ideas popped up in his mind. So I rewrote and rewrote and rewrote it five times, although I wrote it five times, it was getting closer and closer to the story in Chu Zhongtian's heart. It's worth the effort. During this time, Lin Hai Tingtao, an online writer, is indeed hard enough, writing scripts can only be regarded as part-time jobs for him, writing online articles is a serious job, and the characteristics of online articles require that he cannot break off, not only can he not break off, but also occasionally break out, writing 10,000 words of online novels every day is a compulsory course. Therefore, he writes online articles during the day, writes scripts at night, and sometimes even writes until the second half of the night, and he can't even take care of his girlfriend who is about to get married, but fortunately, his girlfriend is very supportive of his work, otherwise he will really disappoint Chu Zhongtian if there is a fire in the backyard.

At the same time, the draft event about the actor in the movie has also entered the preparatory period. Once it is done, a vigorous audition will be launched throughout China. Now in China, there are a lot of various draft activities, and everyone is used to it, even the football draft Mango Station has been changed once, and it has caused a lot of repercussions. But use football to choose the actor in the movie, and Hollywood A-list movie star Emily. Stan collaborated on a movie, and this kind of draft is still very shocking, really eye-catching, and it makes people feel a little ...... Ray.

Don't you all look at acting in movies, or look at whether you are handsome or not beautiful? Since when has it become necessary to be able to play football?

Chu Zhongtian's request to Yang Yang is that it's okay if he can't act in movies, we can train quickly, but those who can't play football, don't even watch football, don't like it, and don't care about it, don't come as soon as possible, and they can't even pass the first level. This requirement makes those young people who have received football training, but finally give up halfway for various reasons, this protagonist does not have too high requirements for looks, as long as you feel that you are not at the level of Quasimodo, you can try it.

Of course, if you can also speak English, it will be more perfect, after all, the whole film is basically filmed at Wimbledon, and the crew is all foreigners, and the Hollywood crew can't speak English, so it's very troublesome to communicate at work.

What if I can't choose it?

Yang Yang asked Chu Zhongtian worriedly.

Chu Zhongtian was very sure: "Impossible, Lao Yang." Let me tell you, China's 1.3 billion people, the masters are in the people, the masters are really in the people, the key is whether you have the patience and ability, and the vision to find them. We have the ability and I have the patience. Don't worry, old Yang. When will we find the actor who will satisfy me, and when will the film start shooting. ”

Sometimes Chu Zhongtian is so confident and unreasonable, Yang Yang has long been used to it. So he didn't say anything, just followed Chu Zhongtian's requirements to carry it out.

It is expected that after 15 October, the national audition will be in full swing in the seven major cities of Beijing, Dalian, Shanghai, Xi'an, Wuhan, Chengdu and Guangzhou. These seven cities are all places with a good football atmosphere, and Chu Zhongtian's good intentions can also be seen from here.

The publicity activities of the audition were launched half a month ago, and the publicity activities of television, radio, cinema patch advertisements, the Internet, newspapers, various professional magazines for movies and football, and campus publicity ...... Roll it out in all directions. Spend money to find Baidu to buy search rankings, buy advertising space, find a public relations company to organize the gunman to be widely spread in the famous community, Weibo, and blog on the Internet, and organize discussions, whether it is positive or negative, in short, to let this news attract everyone's attention, and strive to make this news spread all over China, and become one of the hot spots discussed by ordinary people and netizens. And then use such influence and popularity to attract the attention of other media, and give free publicity to the event, of course, how can you not use the classic PR trick of spending money to find reporters to write advertorials?

Of course, the cost of doing this is huge, and the company's financial director always reminds Chu Zhongtian with a frown, but Chu Zhongtian doesn't care about money, and he doesn't blink when he spends a lot of money when he should spend it. As long as it can achieve results, it is completely worth spending so much money.

The matter of Sichuan Quanxing was handed over to Xu Xiaodi, and the matter of making the movie was handed over to Yang Yang, and Chu Zhongtian's two most trusted agents in China performed their duties and fulfilled their responsibilities, so he had nothing to worry about.

All he had to do was train, play football, and listen to regular phone calls and emails from the two of them to report on the progress of his work.

※※※ Emily played to her heart's content at Wimbledon for a month, and she felt like "happy here, not thinking about it", but she finally came back under Chu Zhongtian's nagging, and also brought two pieces of news to Chu Zhongtian.

"Russell is back!"

Chu Zhongtian was stunned for a moment, he didn't know who this name was, he was stunned because he didn't expect to hear from him again.

He will not forget this name, many people will scream again and again when they see the current Chu Zhongtian holding the ball on the court to get rid of the opposing defenders, praising him for his excellent skills. But if they looked at Chu Zhongtian when he played at Wimbledon, I am afraid they would never have thought that one day Chu Zhongtian could become what he is now, but they felt that Chu Zhongtian at that time was similar to the "rough brothers" of the national football team. At that time, Chu Zhongtian didn't even have two people with the ball, and he couldn't even do the most basic ball control, his role on the court was to keep running, shoveling back and forth, grabbing the ball and immediately passing it to the player closest to him, passing more than fifteen meters would be lost, and the ball would be controlled for more than a few seconds, once it was forced by the opponent, it would be lost, except that it was useless to be able to run and tackle and defend.

It was Russell who taught him how to handle the ball, although he was a little reluctant at first...... But after all, it taught him and benefited him a lot. His initial foundation was laid in Russell's hands, and further improvement was in Metz, under Fernandez and Coach Tadio, and when he came out of Metz, his skills were basically perfected, and he was no longer a "Chinese rough brother".

Later, Russell was seriously injured and forced to say goodbye to football, and it was he who used the summer to coach his ball control and passing skills, pinning his hopes of playing professional football on himself. Later, he really became a professional player, and he won so many championships, and played against the world's giant teams one by one, in a sense, it can be regarded as fulfilling his wish, right? I just don't know if he knew, and saw it?

Because since Russell left Wimbledon, they haven't been in touch. Chu Zhongtian didn't know his phone, he didn't know where he was in the United States, and he didn't know what he was doing. This time I married Emily, Gavin. Bolger received invitations and was invited to attend, but Russell just couldn't be reached. Even Borger couldn't contact him, and it was as if Russell's kid had disappeared from the planet.

So Chu Zhongtian didn't expect to hear his news from his wife this time.

"I went back to Wimbledon to watch Wimbledon as usual, but I didn't expect to meet him on the sidelines!" Emily excitedly told Chu Zhongtian about the process of meeting Russell. She knew Russell earlier than Chu Zhongtian, after all, they were classmates. "He also went to the game, with a cap, which I didn't recognize at first, he recognized me first. He called my name and took off his hat so I recognized it as Russell. ”

Chu Zhongtian nodded, Emily is a big star and the "Princess of Dons", she has a high reputation in the minds of Wimbledon fans, and when she arrives at the stadium, she is naturally the focus of attention, and it is not surprising where Russell recognized Emily.

"Guess what he's doing now?"

Chu Zhongtian said: "Follow his father to do business? Isn't his dad a businessman? ”

Emily smiled and smiled proudly: "No, he's coaching at Wimbledon!" ”

Chu Zhongtian let out an "ah" in surprise, this was really something he didn't expect...... But then he thought about it, this kid showed a talent for coaching when he taught himself to play, and Wimbledon was his favorite team, so it was not surprising to go there as a coach now.

He now coaches the youth team at Wimbledon and is responsible for the day-to-day training of the under-11 to under-14 teams. He had a lot of fun. Emily explains.

Teach kids to play football? Chu Zhongtian thought to himself, that is very in line with his characteristics, the players he taught must have good skills!

Wimbledon Athletic had already started building echelons before Chu Zhongtian left. This is where the gap between Chinese football and foreign high-level football lies. Wimbledon was only an amateur team at the time, with no owner investment, relying on donations and ticket revenues from members, but even so, they started to build echelons in the second year of their establishment, and the first ones were reserves, women's football, women's reserves, under-14, under-eleven, and under-10 echelons. And what about Chinese football clubs? Only pay attention to the construction of the first team, ignoring the construction of the echelon is the norm, and even need the Football Association to force the clubs to build the echelon, as a result, under such regulations, the echelon of many Chinese clubs is to buy a low-level team or a football school team as a whole, and the purchase is over, and there is no effort to build and operate, as for the relationship between the echelon and the first team...... Aside from the fact that they are teams under the same club's name, there is really no connection.

Details are the devil, and it can be seen from these details that it makes sense that Chinese football is so backward and has such a bad reputation.

Chu Zhongtian was a little curious: "Didn't Russell say that his boss wanted him to take over?" Why did you come to Wimbledon to coach again? ”

Emily shrugged: "He said he wasn't in business, he still liked football, and he ran back." ”

"Tsk, that's chic." Chu Zhongtian sighed. When I first found out that I still like to play football, I was still entangled between my studies and football for a long time.

"It's a kind of happiness to do the work you like in your favorite team...... "In fact, Chu Zhongtian is also very happy, doing what he likes to do, and he is doing well.

Being able to do what you want to do is the happiest thing in the world.

※※※After talking about Russell's situation, Emily told Chu Zhongtian another thing.

Some time ago, Wimbledon Athletic sent a letter to every member informing them to attend the club's general meeting. This is a regular annual meeting, and it is required to attend as many people as possible, which is different from ordinary meetings. Chu Zhongtian has long been a member of Wimbledon Athletic, paying a membership fee of 1,000 pounds a year - in fact, he still wants to pay more, but the club has a rule that does not allow overpayment, up to 1,000 pounds per person per year. Like him, Emily is also a member, with a membership fee of £1,000 a year. In addition to paying a membership fee, they also sponsor several players who play at Wimbledon, whose names will appear in the club's booklet before each match.

Just like Emily back then. Stan sponsors Chu Zhongtian as well.

As a member, Chu Zhongtian was supposed to attend this general meeting, but because he played football in Germany and didn't have time, he didn't go to it. But Emily was at Wimbledon at the time, so she was there.

This time, she brought back the information from the meeting and told Chu Zhongtian: "Wimbledon has turned professional!" ”

"Oh!" Chu Zhongtian was more surprised than hearing that Russell was back, but he was more delighted.

"Last season's average attendance was over 3,500, so the club's board decided to go professional so that the team would have a better future. This meeting is to discuss and vote on this matter. Everyone agreed to go professional. I also agree. ”

Whether it is to pay ten pounds of membership dues or a thousand pounds of membership dues, the voting rights are the same, each person only has one vote, Chu Zhongtian did not participate, his vote will be invalid, and Emily cannot be allowed to vote on his behalf. Emily also has only one vote. However, according to Emily, the decision to go professional was passed by a large vote. Everyone was not willing to stay in the amateur league for the rest of their lives. Stewart led the fans in chanting their slogan and goal: "Get back to where you belong, go to the top league!" Back to where you should be, South West London! ”

The top league is not something that amateur teams can go to, and it must be professionalized. The steady increase in attendance in recent seasons has also made the club full of confidence in the transition to professionalism, because once the club is professional, the cost will increase significantly, if they cannot ensure a stable attendance, they will lack the most important source of income, for the participating teams that do not have a TV league, ticket revenue basically accounts for more than 90% of the club's income. The income from player transfers and merchandise is not worth mentioning at all.

"It's a good thing to turn professional, but ......" Chu Zhongtian was about to say, Emily had already pointed at his mouth: "I know what you have to say, after professionalization, members are still members, we are a membership-based club, not a club of listed companies." They felt that the reason why the Crazy Gang moved away before was because the fate of the club was in the hands of a certain big boss, or a few club directors, and they didn't care about the voices of the real supporters. Therefore, the club decided to set up a membership-based club from the beginning, and the members had the final say on any major matters, and the board of directors of the club was also elected by the members. ”

Chu Zhongtian listened to what Emily said, and nodded again and again.

Although there is a lack of conditions to attract big bosses to invest, a team that belongs to its own fans is what the crazy fans want most after going through so many things. They don't think that a team with a lot of money, a lot of big stars, and a lot of championships is a successful team. For them, the team that belongs to them is the team that is successful.

This is the same as Chu Zhongtian's requirements for Sichuan Quanxing, his requirements for Sichuan Quanxing, or his football philosophy, are actually influenced by this group of cute crazy fans.

The team must belong to the fans, and the football must also belong to the fans, otherwise it is a tree without soil and water without a source, what's the point?

"There's one more thing, Chu." Emily said to Chu Zhongtian.

"Huh?"

"After professionalization, there is no upper limit on membership dues, and those who can afford to pay more."

Chu Zhongtian's eyes lit up.

He and Emily had thought about helping Wimbledon a little bit more, he couldn't play for the team like he used to, but he could pay for it, and he knew that Wimbledon needed it. But due to the cap on membership fees, he can only pay a thousand pounds, which is what a thousand pounds is for a football club?

Well, now it's called the rich paying, the powerful contributing, and the can't contributing.

Seeing Chu Zhongtian's expression, Emily smiled: "I have already paid mine first." ”

Chu Zhongtian asked, "How much?" ”

Emily held out five fingers.

"Fifty thousand?" Chu Zhongtian asked.

"Five hundred thousand."

Chu Zhongtian made a surprised expression very cooperatively, and then smiled. "Okay, I'll also pay 500,000."

For the team you like, no matter how much money you spend, it doesn't count as money, which is also Chu Zhongtian's values.

Both he and Emily hope that the money will help Wimbledon, with £1 million enough to cover Wimbledon's various salary budgets for the first team, development squad and coaching staff for a season.

Chu Zhongtian and Emily then talked about what future Wimbledon will have after professionalization, professionalization, Wimbledon Athletic can be regarded as a new life, and now Wimbledon Athletic is in the fifth league, the national league. As long as they go one step further and are promoted to the second division, they are considered to be in the professional league. At that time, they will only be one step away from their original goal, with the English Second Division above the English First Division, and the English Championship above them, and here they will be just one step away from the top Premier League. And Wimbledon is aiming for that.

"Hopefully that day won't keep us waiting too far......" Emily said.

Chu Zhongtian thought for a moment, and then nodded to Emily: "I think...... It should be achievable within 10 years. ”

"Ten years...... Emily was a little disappointed, wishing she could see Wimbledon in the Premier League next year.

Chu Zhongtian thought of his experimental field of the "Centennial Plan", and thought that as a Wimbledon Athletic fan, he was still much happier than Chinese fans and Sichuan fans.

"Contentment, it's better than a hundred years, right?"

Emily was speechless.
