Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 714 Fame with one goal

After seven consecutive victories in the league, Newcastle's state reached its peak. Although they went to Stamford Bridge in London a week later, they had the advantage of home court. Chelsea, who also remained unbeaten this season, still failed to beat Newcastle. Although Lampa De and Arjen Robben helped Chelsea lead by two goals, but in the last 10 minutes of the game, Newcastle tied the score relying on the goals of Nie Fei and Lucio, and still ranked first in the standings with a two-point advantage.

After retreating from Stamford Bridge, Newcastle's only important game before Christmas is the away game against Liverpool. As long as there is nothing wrong with this game, Newcastle can have a happy Christmas.

Invincible on the field, and prosperous off the field, there are many names of Newcastle players in the 50-man squad for the World Footballer and the European Ballon d'Or. Lucio, Ibrahimovic and Nie Fei have all entered the world football Mr. and the European Golden Globe list, and Makelele appeared in the European Golden Globe list, which is also an affirmation of their strength.

As the main central defender of the Brazilian national team, Lucio has been included in these two lists. It is the first time for Ibrahimovic and Nie Fei to enter. Ibrahimovic used to be because the stage was too small. After all, the influence of the Eredivisie Compared with the four major leagues, it is still a lot worse, and although Nie Fei played for Roma before, he was only half of the main force and half of the substitute there. In addition, Roma's performance in the Champions League has not been very good. There is no chance.

After coming to Newcastle, after getting the opportunity to show themselves in the Premier League and the Champions League, Nie Fei and Ibrahimovic immediately attracted everyone's attention-no matter how powerful a person is, he also needs an influential stage.

Newcastle has not had a player in these two selection lists for several years. Shearer has made it before, but he has never made it after retiring from the national team. Although Newcastle has many stars, it is true after Shearer. No one has ever made the shortlist for either of these competitions.

Although everyone knows that the four of them will probably not enter the final competition-Lucio is a defender, few defenders can be selected in these two selections, and Lucio is not the soul and core of Newcastle and the Brazilian national team The same is true for Makelele; although Nie Fei and Ibrahimovic performed well in the league and the Champions League last season and this season, their performance in the national team has dragged them down. After passing the semi-finals of the European Championship, the Chinese national team has only played in the Asian Cup this year, and Nie Fei has not played much.

After learning the news, all the fans of Newcastle cheered - after all, the team is composed of players, if no one can be selected in the most famous and authoritative selection in the world, then it can only mean Newcastle is not really a strong team - but this is almost impossible. If none of the champions of the last European Champions Cup can be selected, then what are the other teams?

But good things always come in pairs. If there is only this one thing, then it's not enough to talk about the four words.

In addition to this incident, although another incident does not seem to have much to do with the football circle, the benefits brought to Newcastle are far from being comparable to the four players selected for the selection list.

The famous film and television production company Milkshake Films contacted Newcastle Club through FIFA, hoping to enter Newcastle's training base and locker room to shoot an inspirational sports film "Goal!" " (that is, "Become Famous").

Pei Wei was delighted when he heard the news. He had watched this movie before he was reborn, but he had almost forgotten it after such a long time—you wouldn’t remember the details even if you watched a movie 20 years ago. It's been more than 20 years since Pei Wei was reborn.But people's memory is so strange sometimes, you think you have forgotten it when you don't think about it, but as long as there is a little reminder, the memory can immediately emerge from the depths of your mind, just like what happened yesterday-this requires this paragraph The memory is deep enough.

A deep enough memory is not just about emotions, sometimes a good movie is enough to make people remember deeply-apparently for Pei Wei, an absolute fan in his previous life, "Fame" is a good movie.

In fact, Pei Wei's choice of Newcastle as his investment target was completely accidental. He originally planned to compete with Abramovich for Chelsea or simply buy the bankrupt Leeds United. The sympathy of the Young Guards, if he hadn't received the invitation from Sir John Hall, coupled with his later in-depth understanding, Pei Wei probably would not have thought of going to Newcastle, let alone because he had watched "Become Fame" before. movie.

It’s just that after taking over, Pei Wei began to find that Newcastle was so suitable—a long history, lack of honor, extensive support in England, no local rivals in the same city, and all the fans in the city only support Newcastle. Happy with the team, sad with the team...

Such fans, such a city, such an atmosphere - for the players, this is paradise.

Perhaps the crew of "Become Fame" chose Newcastle as the starting place for the leading actor in the play, and it really couldn't be more appropriate.

So Pei Wei readily agreed to the request, including the fact that the film crew would enter the locker room and the training ground to shoot. Although in the Premier League, a traditionally powerful league, the locker room is sacred and inviolable, and often happens in the locker room. The players will not say anything about it, otherwise it will break the rules, let alone let the film crew go in to shoot-if Pei Wei hadn't held the title of assistant coach, he wouldn't be able to enter the locker room casually.

It’s just that Pei Wei vaguely remembered that there were indeed scenes of Newcastle players in the dressing room in "Fame". Even the typical British old-fashioned Shepard can agree. Why can't Pei Wei, a Chinese, agree?The big deal is that the tabloids in England say that he is breaking the tradition. Anyway, he has broken the tradition of the Premier League not once or twice.

After agreeing to this matter, Pei Wei handed over the specific situation to his subordinates. Anyway, the shooting of the film crew has no impact on Newcastle's training game. Live footage - especially of Newcastle goals and wins - has been all too easy to find these days.

It is estimated that several important players in the team will show a small face on the camera, especially the captain Shearer. Pei Wei still remembers that there is a scene of Shearer in it. It is estimated that the consultant Bobby Robson and the head coach Mourinho are also indispensable. Oh, Pei Wei thinks that Mourinho will be happy to show up in this movie, but Pei Wei is a bit regretful that he probably won't appear in the movie-didn't Shepard also appear at the time.

In terms of benefits, it is not beneficial for the crew of "Become Famous" to shoot at the Newcastle club - not only does it have no income, but it also needs to help as much as possible. From this point of view, it is a big trouble, especially in Newcastle this season. When the league championship is bound to be won, the film crew stationed in the training base will definitely have a certain impact.

However, in terms of improving Newcastle's popularity, being able to become the main shooting base in an absolutely blockbuster sports inspirational movie will have an immeasurable impact on Newcastle's global popularity-although Newcastle is in England. The most popular club, which is unmatched by Manchester United, the king of the past ten years, and Liverpool, the best team in English football history, but in Europe and even the world, compared with those giants, Newcastle can only be regarded as lonely Unknown - this was the case when Newcastle suddenly emerged to win the Champions League last year.

This intangible wealth cannot be measured by [-] million or [-] million pounds.

At least Pei Wei has spent [-] to [-] million pounds in the past two years, and only got one Champions League. In Europe and the world, Newcastle's reputation has not increased substantially.

This time is different. Pei Wei doesn't know how popular "Fame" will be in the future, but a film with such a large investment will definitely be released around the world. Just seeing the names of those cameo stars, as long as they are fans I will miss the opportunity to watch this video, and I will naturally have a deep impression on Newcastle, the most influential club in England-except for fans who are more familiar with the Premier League, other fans may think that the most influential club in England Whether the club is Manchester United or Arsenal, the trouble caused by this alone can be ignored.

The crew of "Become Famous" moved very quickly. After obtaining the consent of the Newcastle club, a film crew immediately entered the Newcastle training base to collect material.

However, Pei Wei did some calculations, and the official release of this film should be in October next year, and the filming starts now, so there is not too much time.

It’s just that Pei Wei vaguely remembers that the final ending of the first part of "Because of a Goal" is that the hero helped Newcastle beat Liverpool in the last game of the Premier League and enter the European Champions Cup. It's a pity that he failed to enter the Champions League, but Newcastle's performance in the 03-04 season, that is, last season, was extremely brilliant. The Premier League runner-up and the Champions League champion, is there still room for the leading actor?Is it necessary to arrange for Newcastle to win the league title by defeating Arsenal in the final round?In this way, Arsenal may be unhappy, after all, it is not so easy for others to win a championship.

Pei Wei is just thinking about these things, the one who has a headache should be the screenwriter of "Fame".

What Pei Wei didn't expect was that in "Fame II", the leading actor was transferred from Newcastle to Real Madrid. Judging from the current situation, even if Real Madrid wanted to poach someone from Newcastle, it would not be so easy.

PS: My wife’s second uncle in the country passed away. I’ve been very busy these two days. I just came back this afternoon, and I’ll go there again tomorrow. People in my wife’s hometown care about these rules, and my son-in-law will follow along to help, tomorrow I'm afraid the update will be a little late, please forgive me.
