[Comprehensive British and American dramas] No.1 is called non-plural

2014 Brazil World Cup semi-finals

Three hours before the start of the game, Emma had already sat in the studio ahead of time, chatting with US goalkeeper Tim Howard.Howard was invited as a technical analyst, an absolute professional.He and Emma have known each other for a long time in previous interviews, and the atmosphere between the two is very good.

Usually, during the event broadcast, the hosts in the studio will leave the country some time before the start of the game to chat about gossip, analyze the game format, guess the starting list of the two sides of the game, and make a prediction on the result of the game.But now, right before the start of the show, Marcy Fowler has yet to appear.

Marcy Fowler is the planner and host of the show. In the show, he is the one who is responsible for the topic to control the overall situation, and is also the one who is indispensable.

Emma looked at her watch and said to Howard apologetically, "Sorry, I have to leave first."

"It's okay." Howard smiled gently.

Emma nodded at him, then trotted over to the show's producer, asking in a low voice, "Isn't Marcy here yet?"

"Marcy's phone can't be reached." The program producer was also very anxious.Normally, the program hosts generally remain at three people, Marcy Fowler is the constant Ding Haishenzhen, and the guest hosts and technical analysis are constantly changing.Now, the Dinghaishen needle is gone, which really makes people feel uncertain.

However, time waits for no one. Marcy Fowler is late, but the time for the show to start is gradually approaching.No one expected this accident in advance, and this is not the ABC headquarters, so it was too late to grab a host as a substitute.

"Emma." The program producer looked at Emma seriously, "Listen to me..."

Emma's eyes widened, "No, no, no, I can't, otherwise how about you take Marcy's place? You know the program process!"

"You can, just like when you are interviewing on the spot alone, you have to believe in your control!" The program producer reached out and pressed Emma's shoulder, "I will continue to contact Marcy, or other substitute hosts, and I will continue to contact Marcy when I am in person. Before this position, there can be no accidents in the live broadcast, everything is up to you."

After speaking, he pushed Emma a few steps towards the studio, "Go, SuperGirl."

SuperGirl·Emma took a deep breath, went through the process and the prepared topics in her mind, and returned to her place.

The show producer immediately turned around, grabbed a staff member and asked him to mobilize other people who had no work tasks, and find Marcy Fowler no matter what.Whether it was the annoyance that the program was suddenly vacant, or the worry caused by knowing the old man very well and knowing that he would not miss the appointment suddenly, the two emotions were entangled in his heart, making his expression more serious.

In the studio, Emma had already briefed Howard about this unexpected situation, and got a guarantee that Howard would work hard to cooperate with her.

Emma smiled, imagined Daisy's full aura, and calmed down slowly.

After confirming that all the facilities are working normally, Emma adjusted the position of the laptop, looked at the new messages constantly refreshed under the Twitter account of the program group, and then in the most perfect posture in the countdown of 'three, two, one' Facing the camera, showing a cute and amiable smile.

There was no mistake in the handling of Mr. Producer, and there was no major trouble in the program. Some viewers called or left messages on the Internet to care about Marcy Fowler's situation, but they all accepted his explanation that he could not come in time due to an accident. Emma has prepared well in advance, and has a thick book of notes. She has information about the players at her fingertips, and she can even blurt out the highlights of past performances. Then, when she was promoted from a player to the national team, she talked about her past achievements and gave a detailed account of the upcoming competition. No one can say that she is unprofessional to make guesses about the starting list and possible formations of the game.

Howard felt very comfortable talking to Emma, ​​not just because she was a very seductive girl, but because they had a common language.In the United States, football is a sport that is both widespread and not so popular.Because compared with other sports, the fierce confrontation of football is not so great, it is almost regarded as a kind of fitness exercise, everyone can kick a few times, it is considered as exercise, very suitable for all ages; however, those who pay attention to football games Relatively speaking, there are not so many people. Many people are not interested in this confrontational game where [-] people run back and forth to chase a ball. There are few big scores in the whole game. Not to mention that there is still a tie.In the eyes of most Americans, the game is to compare the outcome, what is a tie?How can we not continue to play until the winner is decided?Of course, the situation has been getting better and better in recent years, especially in this World Cup, they have received unprecedented attention, which makes Howard more interested in talking, and the conversation with Emma is almost seamless.

God knows how tired he was when he had to point out the host's common-sense mistakes when he participated in the show before.

Finally, half an hour before the start of the game, although the producer had not yet found Marcy Fowler, he also temporarily found a former special host to save the game.

When the presenter first came on the field, he was blunt, "I know that most people don't like it very much and they like me here very much. This is very contradictory and not contradictory. Well, I am not a professional football presenter. But I am a professional entertainment gossip person. There have been a lot of entertainment gossip recently, and there is a gossip heroine by my side."

"Oh, please, Paul!" Emma raised her hands pretending to beg for mercy, "That was a misunderstanding, please let this misunderstanding end with you."

"Believe me, there must be countless beauties who want to replace you and become the heroine in this misunderstanding." Paul Parker smiled meaningfully, "Of course, I will not express any opinions on this, you are still some time away, I don't want to get a court leaflet for slandering a minor at all."

Emma looked at Paul Parker with gratitude in her eyes. Although he was a little rude in his words, he was actually on her side and issued a warning to those who spread rumors outside.

"What?" Howard looked surprised. "Will anyone really believe in that boring topic made up for sales?"

"It sounds like you haven't believed it from the beginning to the end?" Paul Parker asked curiously.

"This kind of thing is very common. Football stars rarely refuse requests for autographs and photos when they meet their fans. If Emma is not well-known, then maybe it will be ignored. But in fact, she is very Famous, when two celebrities meet, even if it’s just eye contact, someone will make them fall in love.” Howard looked accustomed to it, “Although this kind of news is not well edited, everyone likes to watch this set."

Emma raised her forehead depressed, "I obviously dressed very low-key at the time."

"Maybe no one recognized you at the time, and you were just implicated. You know, Cristiano has a bloody aura, and when the media saw him, it was like a shark smelling blood. His media There are not a few people who have misunderstood him because of news reports.” Howard explained, “But I have to say, Cristiano is a hardworking person, you have to believe what you see, and Not the tabloids."

"I know, my brother is his fan." Emma nodded happily, "This time Portugal was eliminated, and my brother also vowed that Portugal will win the next European Cup under the leadership of Ronaldo. "

"Your brother?" Paul Parker asked with interest.

"Yeah, I was with him on the day the photo was taken. He was the one who talked to Ronaldo the most. There was also Kaka who was with Ronaldo. He was very happy that day. I didn't expect that after going back I found out that I had an affair with his idol." Emma looked helpless. "Fortunately, I braided my hair witty long ago, so I don't have to worry about being rubbed into a grass nest by him again."

"You mean your braids? I gotta say, that makes you look like an innocent, fresh, small-town girl." Paul Parker laughed.

"Twisted braids are a very useful hairstyle." Emma emphasized seriously.

"Hey, useful? Isn't it because you like it?" Howard was curious.

"I used to wear a ponytail, but it gets messed up too easily, and my brother gets annoyed too easily and rubs my hair every time." Emma looked annoyed, "It's too much, isn't it? You have Sister? Will you treat your sister like this?"

Paul Parker pretended to think, then nodded decisively, "Yes."

"I don't think I want to talk to you anymore." Emma turned her head away, and before holding on for a few seconds, she burst out laughing.

Paul Parker swiped through the comments on Twitter and found that a topic called #被哥哥已着的妹妹的妹妹# was rapidly increasing.

"Okay, don't be angry, at least on the Internet, you can see that you are definitely not alone." Paul Parker shook his head, "At least your brother didn't secretly change your pink hair dye, making you green Mao... Oh my god, this is too much, I support this netizen who left a message to resist bravely!"

After a while, new information came in. The players of the German and Brazilian teams were preparing to play in the player tunnel, and the starting list had come out. Paul Parker stopped joking, and after the serious introduction, he asked, "Who do you think can win this game?"

"Brazil!" Emma said without hesitation.

"I am more optimistic about Germany." Howard gave the opposite answer. "Their performance has been very stable. The players perform their duties. They are a whole. The name of the German tank is enough to show that they are together. Of course, I am not saying The Brazilian team is weak, in fact, there are many excellent players in this team, they are full of talent, I believe they have a bright spot, but football is a sport of eleven people, I am still more optimistic about the German team."

"Emma, ​​what's your reason?" Paul Parker asked.

"My brother said that once the Brazilian team gets up, they are afraid of themselves. When he said this, he was holding a bottle of [-]-up in his hand. Then he told me that God's guidance told him that this time Brazil would score seven goals. Ball," Emma said.

"But what about the German team? Did your brother predict it?" Of course, Paul Parker knew that such a big score rarely appeared on the football field. If it happened, it would basically be a brutal massacre.

"A goal." Emma said, "He said that in this World Cup, Germany only defeated Portugal [-]-[-], and they followed the policy of winning by one goal with other national teams. This time it is probably the same."

"So, the final result he predicted was Germany vs Brazil, one to seven?" asked Paul Parker.

"Yes." Emma nodded.

"It sounds weird," Howard said, "but I insist that Germany is more competitive."

"My brother also overwhelmed the German team to win." Emma continued to nod.

"I don't understand." Paul Parker shook his head, "Your brother said that the Brazilian team could score seven goals, and the German team could score one goal, and then he beat the German team to win...Did he buy a lottery ticket?" After getting Emma's affirmative answer, "Could it be that he has too much money and wants to lose on purpose?"

"No." Emma lowered her head, "He was playing with his friends. His friends made bets first after hearing his analysis results. According to their game rules, he couldn't bet on the same score, so he simply The score was dropped, and the German team beat Brazil [-]-[-]."

"After the pressure, he also said that he had won too much before, and losing once in a while would help balance the balance of payments."

Paul Parker: "..."

Howard: "..."

"How much did he press?" Paul Parker couldn't help asking.

"Half a year's salary." Emma was a little annoyed. "It was just for a gamble. He knew he would lose, but he did it anyway. Are all men so childish and impulsive?"

"Cough." Paul Parker cleared his throat, "Believe me, there are indeed naive and impulsive men, but such naive and impulsive men are rare."

At the beginning of the game, they did not continue to discuss this issue, but started a new round of discussions on the game on the field.But gradually, their discussions became a little passive and perfunctory.

No. 11 minutes, Muller advanced a goal.

No.203 minutes, Klose scored another goal.

No.20 Four and 26 minutes, Kroos scored two goals in a row.

No.209 minutes, Khedira scored a goal.

No.60, 79 minutes, Schurle scored two goals.

The above players are all from the German team.

At the end of the No. 90-minute game, the host Brazil, which was favored by everyone in advance, scored a goal by the player Oscar, which saved a little face and did not completely shave their heads.

"Germany vs. Brazil, the score is [-]-[-], and the German team won." Paul Parker's voice was light and light, without the impassionedness that should be felt after a big score. "This is the victory of the German team, and it is also the victory of another person. Maybe the next European Cup champion is no longer in suspense."

Emma looked at the final score and felt that Isaac probably would not be able to erase his crow's mouth image in Kiven's heart in this lifetime.
