Chapter 576: Cold Opening

"Oh, labor certification?"

On the morning of Saturday on the 9th, Ye Jiazheng's family played on one of the six tennis courts at Brentwood Country Club, Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao were playing tennis, Duoduo was jumping on the sidelines as a caddy, and Ye Wei brought a "team star" football to play, and the family knew his plan and supported!

At around nine o'clock, he first received a text message from Brian about his trial at Manchester United.

In the ensuing call, Brian talked about the Premier League's labour certification. The UK Department of Labour stipulates that non-EU players who want to represent an English team in official matches (excluding friendlies, exhibition matches and other informal matches) must apply for a "Work-Permit", and there are two criteria for applying, one is that the player has played at least 75% of international A-level matches for his national team in the past two years or in available form, and the other is that his national team has averaged in the top 70 in the FIFA world ranking in the past two years.

Of course, Ye Wei was not among them, but there was another opportunity, and he smiled at the other end of the phone: "It's okay, I'm a special genius player." ”

The so-called "special genius clause" refers to one of the provisions of the labor certification system, and if a player does not meet the above criteria, the application can be appealed by the club, and an independent panel of experts, usually composed of the relevant football governing body and three independent experts, will be heard to hear, evaluate and decide whether the player meets the other two criteria:

The player has the best of the best (of-the-highest-calibre)

The player can make a significant contribution to the development of English football's top league (able-to-contribute-significantly-to-the-development-of-the-game-at-the-top-level-in-the-UK)

If the arbitration panel agrees that the player has demonstrated such ability and potential, a labor certification of up to five years will be awarded.

There is no official name for this type of certification, but it is customary to refer to such players as "Special-Talent and Extraordinary-Talent".

In addition, there are rumours that each club can only apply for the special talent clause once per season, which is not true, the fact is that each player can only appeal once per season (per-season-per-individual, from 1 June to 31 May), there is no restriction on the club.

A large part of the reason for this rumor is that it is difficult to pass the appeal of special talents, and a club does not necessarily have an average of one per season.

And there is no explicit standard for this thing, the arbitration panel says that if you are a genius, you are a genius, and if you say that you are not, you are not. As a result, many small clubs that lack connections are too lazy to apply for players who they all think "he is not a genius", and sometimes even the transfer of recognized talented players has to go through complicated procedures and long waits, but giants such as Manchester United and Arsenal really want to fight for a player and spend a lot of effort to operate, and the success rate is much higher.

The world is as black as a crow, which is about the same as the rating of MAPP.

The most unhappy person is not from the small club, but Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. He wants to sign potential demons all over the world all day long, but not every one of them can be brought to the Premier League, but there will always be a few of these demons who can be kicked out in the future, Wenger is angry at first glance, if it weren't for the labor certification system, these stars would all be mine!

In fact, the player is going to Arsenal, which is full of demons, and I don't know if he can get the opportunity to grow and become famous. It is Wenger who teaches and destroys people tirelessly.

How do you get a certificate? Ye Wei has no other hope, so he counts on special affairs, and other methods such as signing first and then lending and then trying to qualify for the European War, or trying to get a passport of an EU country, will take many years.

"I'm not a special genius, who is?" he laughed, flipping the soccer ball at his feet. In the past two years, although he has played less games, he has never left it.

Brian tried his best not to make his tone look contemptuous: "Weige, you have never played in the top football league, and you were only a member of the CIF high school league before...... Ye Wei said: "Captain, as a forward midfielder, can pass and shoot, the soul of the field." Bryan paused and said, "You're a movie genius, but you're not a football genius." ”

"Dude, I want you to know. Ye Wei stopped the ball and volleyed vigorously, and the ball drew a strong white arc and hit the left pole of the tennis net, bang!

He saluted his family and smiled confidently at his phone: "I've been playing this stuff since I was two or three years old, and I gave up football, basketball, baseball, ice hockey, and even volleyball at school for it! I've won more accolades on the football pitch than in the movies, and I'm only 19 in February! So tell me, why can't I be a professional footballer?"

"I didn't mean that...... Brian knew his athletic talent at the beginning, and the "football player" he said when he made the star was full of confidence and wanted to persuade him. After being sprayed by him again, Bryan was reluctant to say anything new: "Manchester United welcome your tryout, they have scouts in charge of this kind of thing. Scouts come to Los Angeles to observe your potential, and if you meet the criteria, they will take you to their club for inspection and evaluation, and if you are really good, whether you can get a labor certificate or not, Manchester United are willing to sign you first, and you can be sent to play in friendly matches. ”

Ye Wei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, Manchester United means that there is no transfer fee for signing free agents anyway, and it is good to spend a little money to sign a star mascot to make money. CAA may already have a plan to co-create a reality show "Kick the Ball" with a studio.

Business is business, and the other party is not clear about his talents, so it is understandable to react so at this stage.

But he's not going to do that, he's not going to show on the pitch, he's going to play and win games.

"Weige, if the trial is successful, it's not bad to only play friendly matches, your image can be improved, and your film career will not be delayed. Brian backed away.

"Let's try it out first. "Ye Wei is not verbose with Brian, he is not afraid to jump from 14,000 feet in the air, what are you afraid of?" "I must play professional football, it's a big deal for me to go to the Galaxy team to be a local star." Nothing is impossible, hurry up and arrange a special training team for me, goodbye. ”

Brian should not be upset with his arrogance, but he didn't dare to say anything, just stopped: "Don't forget to attend the premiere of "Winter's Bones" in the afternoon. ”

"How is that possible? I paid for it!"

......

In the afternoon, the weather was clear, and a black nanny car was driving on the way to the Brown Bear Theater in West Los Angeles, where W'sB will also have its premiere after SS.

The rear seats with the compartment glass lowered, Ye Wei and Lily were chatting, and this was the first time that the two had attended a public event together as a couple. Duoduo is clamoring to follow, but this R-rated movie is not suitable for her to watch, and TLB she has not seen it, this is not "The Wedding is Coming".

"I've forgotten about labor certification. "Lily is a dual citizen of the United Kingdom and the United States, and I didn't think that I would have to play football in the UK.

There was no red carpet show at today's premiere, and there was no big crowd of guests, just the crew members, some media people and lucky fans and Emma Roberts, this guy is addicted to the red carpet and has to attend the premiere of all the trilogy. I can't step on the TLB, I want to step on the field.

Dressed semi-formally and casually, Lily wore a long-sleeved breasted white shirt, a dark floral dress and platform shoes, her hair was naturally parted sideways, and she wore light makeup for a casual and dignified elegance. And Ye Wei is quite casual, Manchester United's red and black raglan zipper sweatshirt, faded jeans and sneakers.

"It's about keeping the level of football in the Premier League. Ye Wei said in a pretended lame British accent and shrugged, "It seems that if the Premier League is relaxed, it will become a garbage league." ”

Lily chuckled, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a British accent, "You are a brilliant genius, and I, the daughter of Phil Collins, can testify." ”

"Don't talk, they hate your dad. He couldn't help but laugh. She raised her eyebrows and said: "They don't hate me! Seriously, I think it's better for you to sign a big-name football agent in the UK, and cooperate with CAA, so that everything will be much easier." My grandma knows people in the brokerage industry and won't cheat you. ”

"Thanks, Jane. Ye Wei was suddenly moved inexplicably, holding her warm slender hand, "In the past, when I was chasing my movie dream, you helped a lot, but now that I am pursuing my football dream, you want to help again, I am really happy......" Lily leaned on his shoulder and hummed proudly with a smile.

"I'm going to train hard and create amazing tryouts!"

"Come on, Red Devil!"

......

Under the bright sunshine, the front of the Brown Bear Cinema is very lively, a little red carpet is laid out in front of the gate to the sidewalk on the side of the road, media reporters have already set up long guns and short cannons to take pictures, and the sidewalk is separated by iron fences on both sides of the fans, fans and tourists are waiting for the appearance of stars.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, with bursts of fan cheers, star cars arrived one after another!

Emma Roberts arrived, wearing a pink and white off-the-shoulder knee-length dress, holding a stylish pouch, her blonde hair draped down her forehead, and smiling sweetly and cutely. Alicia Vikander also came, with a dark blue sleeveless waistless top and a knee-length skirt in the same dark blue, also holding a pouch, blooming her beautiful and sexy sexy.

The main son, Jennifer Lawrence, stood next to Vikander like a log, no handbag, a neutral white and blue baseball jacket and black jeans, long hair dyed dark brown tied up in a ponytail, and her face looked like she had makeup and didn't look like she had it, and she was still quite beautiful.

Pieces of flash photos hit them, the reporters can't shoot enough, and the last two girls in the future are finally about to unveil the mystery!

Actors such as John Harkes made the red carpet even more lively, albeit without much starlight.

It's a rare sight for them, and the immediate family members have tickets to share the joy. Jennifer's family arrived, and her dreams didn't stop with her illness in New York, and her two older brothers still find it incredible, and Alicika's mother came with her from Sweden. They all went into the theater from the backstage.

At the last SS premiere, Ye Wei was the latest to arrive, and this time it was the same. The black nanny car stopped on the side of the road, the staff stepped forward to answer, and the assistant in the car got out of the car to open the door first, and in the excited screams of the fans, Ye Wei and Lily each got out of the car from one side of the door, and then walked hand in hand.

"Oh......" Emma's excitement decreased slightly, her eyes were about to roll, she knew that Lily would come, she didn't necessarily come, she didn't want to be in the same frame with them, so she turned around and went to find Gia first.

"Good afternoon, everyone. Ye Wei said hello and went to stand in the middle of the crowd with Lily. Lily smiled generously and said, "Hello everyone, congratulations on your movie premiere! "She knows about those scandals, but they are all fake.

After the media photography session, everyone walked into the theater and chatted all the way.

"Hello, Lily, I'm glad to meet you. Alicia was already pure admiration for VIY, "I'm a fan of your romance. ”

Lily smiled and thanked her, looked at Jennifer on the other side, and knew each other for a moment. Jennifer laughed at herself, "I never thought that a queen girl like me and you could do this... Well, usually I can only watch from afar. Lily laughed and said, "I'm not a queen girl! I'm a girl with thick eyebrows who was teased by a queen girl." ”

"And your pretentious British accent. Ye Wei, who was one step behind, added a ghostly probe.

"You're the one laughing at the most!" Lily glared at him disapprovingly.

"Haha!" Jennifer was amused by the flirtatious scolding of others, and suddenly understood why he was in love with Lily, which was really funny.

She and Alice really saw another VIY, from outside the theater to inside the theater, and then to the screening room, he was just two people compared to yesterday, bad boy, personable, serious, humorous, sunny...... These are the things that his attention barely takes off from Lily, and the two of them are generous and decent when they talk to others, and when they whisper, the air around them is sweetened.

They looked at each other and sighed in their hearts, it is really enviable to have such love.

......

When the time reached half past 4, the Brown Bear Theater with nearly 700 seats was full, the general audience sat in the back row, the crew was in the front row, Ye Wei and Lily were in the middle of the first row, and Jia, who was not far behind, magically chatted happily with Jennifer's second brother, next to Emma who rolled her eyes.

There was no audience interaction at this premiere, it was so simple that it opened coldly, and no one took the stage to say a few words.

Jennifer's eyes peeked to the left, and she saw Ye Wei whispering something to Lily, and Lily nodded slightly, as if opening to her alone.

Maybe...... The film really isn't that important.

The screening room was silent, and everyone in the audience looked at the opening credits on the big screen, first the distributor Weinstein Pictures, and then the producer Cliff Films: a gray cat was climbing up the cliffs, very cold and dangerous, and the stone wall below it was inscribed with a line: BLUFF-FILMS

"Winter's Bones", premiere.
