Chapter 599 It Feels Like
On Thursday, January 11, Manchester United Football Club announced that Ye Wei, known as a "film genius", will have a week-long trial later this month to decide whether to sign a player contract with him. A press spokesperson told the Daily Express: "It's all normal and he's passed our scouting review and Old Trafford welcomes any youngster as good and talented as him to come for a tryout. ”
There was a shocking uproar!
The British media were blinded, and after the news spread, the American media were also blinded, and Manchester United fans and secrets all over the world were blinded, what the hell!?
Jokes, hype, pranks by the big pig bullies?
The Daily Express headline was striking: "Premier League is about to have a Hollywood superstar player?VIY will try Manchester United!" The Sun's report was even more striking: "Phil Collins asked Ye Wei to join the Premier League to support his relationship with his daughter Lily?" The tabloid originator "Daily Mirror" was equally astonishing: "Tryout Ye Wei exposes Ferguson's big plans to star in a movie after retirement?" The London Evening Standard said: "Manchester United tried to bring in talent from Hollywood in the United States to beat Chelsea......
This shocking news quickly turned into a joke, not only the unscrupulous tabloids, but also the fans who had fun with it, which is certainly not true.
At first, the American media also thought that this was a trap or an oolong for the British, and VIY was still in the limelight during the awards season, and the whole industry was affected by his new project!
That is, until Leslie Dart confirmed it to the media: "Trying out in the Premier League has always been one of the only dreams and he is grateful to Manchester United for giving him the opportunity to give it his all. ”
The problem is not in the trial, but after the trial, if he is really favored by Manchester United, will Ye Wei really go to play?
Dart also said: "But the trial is not for fun, he has already thought about it seriously, if the trial is successful, he will try to join Manchester United." If he fails, he will also seek other player contracts. His film career will take an indefinite break. ”
The fans were also shocked before, and then laughed, but when Dart confirmed the news, and then saw Ye Wei personally announce on Facebook: "My hands want to rest, and my feet want to move, so I want to put down the camera first and play football, thank you." They were stunned, distraught, and their smiles were gone.
"I can't believe it!", "VIY, tell me it's just your prank. However, the secrets rushed to leave messages, and some fans even uploaded the retention video to YouTube.
"Weige, it's great to see you have the courage to follow your dreams, but please don't give up on film. One girl almost choked up as she spoke: "Oh my God, how I wish I could see the news that you and Elizabeth Olsen are in a romantic movie again, and I love you as a screen pair." ”
Unacceptable!
Why!?"Iron Fist", "Shimmer City", "Snow White"...... Can't you arouse the slightest interest in him?
An industry source told the Los Angeles Times: "Everyone who heard the news was stunned, and no one would be happy with the big names who had high hopes for VIY, but no one could keep him." They had to accept the bitter fruit of temporarily losing this genius, and could only hope that he failed in the trial and had the idea of making a movie as soon as possible. ”
Another Paramount insider revealed: "We were caught off guard, and it's a shame that no one would use the shadow as a bargaining chip." ”
The secrets did know that VIY was a good player on the football field, and he was the captain of the varsity team from elementary school to high school, but it was only a school football league in the United States......
This is less reliable than Amy Rosen's retirement to make music albums. Could it be that when you travel to the UK to watch a Premier League, you are so excited that you are delirious?
"Amy has had a huge impact on him. An insider told RadarOnline, "When they were in love, she told him that life is a failure only in film, and that he is following the path she has shown me." TMZ learned the inside information: "It's very simple, he wants to make Lily happy." ”
The gossip is rising, the fans are concerned and sad, and at the same time, there are not many Manchester United fans who are excited, on the contrary, they are full of doubts, they have not yet tried out, and they are afraid of the bad situation that Ye Wei may cause.
"Although they said it was a normal process, I didn't understand it. In an interview with Sky Sports, a multi-year season ticket holder said, "Maybe they want to sell more tickets, but they should also take into account the feelings of our die-hard fans, otherwise Manchester United will lose even more support." Another fan said: "You have to think about the dressing room, Ye Wei is a terrible time bomb, if he does come, Manchester United will not have peace." ”
A middle-aged fan said excitedly: "What can Ye Wei bring? those little girls who can only scream and menopausal women, they will turn Old Trafford into hell, and the real fans will be forced to support other teams, because Manchester United has become a laughing stock!"
"A lot of Manchester City fans have started making jokes to laugh at us. Another youth fan shared the same outrage.
Another part of the fans are discussing some practical issues, about the salary of the contract, according to the report of "Vanity Fair", Ye Wei can now earn at least $20 million to $30 million before tax for making a commercial film for the six major Hollywood studios. Wayne Rooney, the 21-year-old Manchester United star, still receives a weekly salary of 50,000 pounds before taxes, and 2.6 million pounds is equivalent to about $5 million in 52 weeks, and another 21-year-old Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo can get up to 150,000 pounds a week, and 7.8 million is about $14 million a year.
The movie prodigy is not an idler, Rooney and Ronaldo's annual salaries add up to almost this guy made a commercial film, how much does Manchester United have to sign him?
Some fans also discussed the issue of labor certification, even if Ye Wei can really join Manchester United, if he wants to play in the Premier League, he has to count on the special talent clause......
But all his friends around him were dumbfounded. An insider told the New York Times, "But how can a mortal understand what a genius thinks?"
Also on the 11th, the LA Galaxy announced that they had signed a five-year contract with British star David Beckham, who came on free transfer, and Beckham will officially join the team on July 1 this year.
What the hell!, Beckham, who is only 32 years old after his birthday this year, is still playing for Real Madrid, a super giant in La Liga...... Next season, I won't play in Europe's top leagues, and I will go to the United States to play in the major leagues? Five years? Ready to grow old in the United States? Compared with Ye Wei's trial at Manchester United, one is uncertain and the other is confirmed, which shocked the sports page of the global media even more, and the headlines were snatched away by Xiaobei.
"It was Victoria's idea. "Insiders are busy," David is just her puppet, she has been planning to enter Hollywood for years, and this is the beginning. ”
So TMZ came to the conclusion that Ye Wei was going to play in the Premier League for Lily, and Beckham was going to play in the major leagues for Victoria?
The mood of the fans is very messy, there must be something wrong with this......
"Beckham joining LA Galaxy? It feels like your grandma suddenly told you that she's going to be a playboy girl. - Ye Wei's Twitter
One of the netizens named Eric Short said: "Why don't you take a look at what you're doing, what does it feel like?" Ye Wei really replied to him: "It feels like a playboy girl suddenly telling you that she wants to be the grandmother of your future grandson." ”
