[Football] Choisir

Gotze received a call from Lahm asking if it would be convenient for him to receive guests at home.Gotze said that the owner of this house is Royce, as long as Royce agrees, he is not inconvenient.

Apparently Ram got permission after asking Royce, and a day later he brought a young man to visit.The young man's name is Andre Schurrle, a young director. Obviously Ram brought him here to discuss the next step with Gotze.

It's been almost a month since the set incident in May, and just like the other Mario predicted, everyone is no longer obsessed with it, and no longer pays attention to his every move as before.This made Gotze feel a lot easier, except that he was a little surprised at the speed of the decline in public attention.

"Now that things have calmed down a lot, we can't wait any longer," Ram said.

"Agreed," Schürrle said, "there are only a few months until the festival, and we are pressed for time."

"But isn't the Berlin Film Festival in February next year?" Gotze said, seeing Lahm glaring at him, he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I forgot that there are so many preparations before the film festival..."

Xu Erle shrugged and didn't pay attention: "I always feel that they treated you unfairly in terms of the injury on the set, so it seems that your injury is not as easy to treat as they advertised." He said and pointed point to his head.

Gotze didn't answer.

Xu Erle continued: "Don't worry, I won't let you do those dangerous moves. In fact... I have studied your previous experience and have a good suggestion."

Gotze looked at Ram questioningly, and the latter nodded: "Andre did do a lot of homework in advance."

The young director gave Gotze a big smile: "You played football in the school team when you were in college, and my idea for my next film is-football!"

Gotze opened his mouth, it's unbelievable!To be honest, he suddenly felt that the director in front of him was a genius—even though Schurrle didn't know the real situation about him—but is there anything more suitable for him to "act" than this?

"I think you must have some good suggestions for the story," Schurrle leaned back on the sofa, crossing his hands behind his head, "Listen carefully."

So Gotze cleared his throat and told them a story about two boys and football.To be on the safe side, he made changes to both the name of the person and the name of the team.But he felt that Ram was aware of it to a certain extent, and he was really a keen person.

"It's very dramatic," Schurrle commented, "but maybe we need to modify it a little bit, how about... just end up winning the World Cup?"

Gotze originally wanted to say that he was not a professional and could not give any constructive opinions.But he thought of Ram's stern stare just now, and nodded quickly.

"Then, it's decided," Schurrle stood up, "Don't worry about the script, I will work with Lewis to get it done."

Ram also stood up: "I will contact you in a few days."

Gotze nodded and sent them out the door.

Two weeks later, Gotze had a first draft of the script.Schurrle seems to hope that Gotze can make some suggestions for the script, but Gotze really doesn't understand these, so he can only tell Schurrle some details, hoping to help him with the script.

But Gotze did not forget to make suggestions to Ram. He said that since he decided to shoot, he had better get familiar with football in advance and do some adaptive training. After all, he hasn't played for a long time.

So now, he was finally able to run on the familiar grass with the football.

This feeling is really wonderful!

"If he hadn't chosen acting, I think he would have become an excellent football player." Royce said, looking at Gotze who was immersed in the fun of playing football.

"Now I totally agree with you." Ram said, "Mario is really talented, whether it's acting or football."

"You know, sometimes I envy Mario because he can really do what he likes to do," Royce said.

"We are all like this. We do it because we like it." Ram turned his head to look at Royce, "What about you?"

"Me?" Royce smiled, but he didn't look as happy as he wanted to show. "Probably since I was born, I was destined to inherit my father's position."

"Is there anything you like, Marco?"

"Of course there is, such as football. Maybe you don't believe it... I used to be the main force of the school team when I was in college." Royce narrowed his eyes, as if recalling, "That's why I know Mario so well. Two always the most sympathetic duo on the court."

"So, do you want to try?" Ram asked again.

"try what?"

Ram pointed to Gotze on the court: "The story needs another half to be complete."

Gotze sat on a chair and watched the big screen in front of him slowly type a few lines of subtitles: "On July 2014, 7, the young Meyer came off the bench and contributed a valuable goal in the 14th minute of overtime , helped the team regain the World Cup title after 113 years, and proved their worth to the world."

Then the lights come on and the movie ends.

Gotze desperately resisted the urge to cry, stood up and prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, he found that all the audience present stood up and began to applaud.Goetze turned his head and found that many people were applauding and cheering for him.

So this applause is for him?

Schurrle on the side touched him with his arm, and Gotze belatedly began to wave to the audience to thank him.

The applause lasted for a full minute.Just when Gotze felt his nose sore again, the applause finally subsided.

Götze's eyes had begun to shed tears. He finally bowed deeply to the audience and followed Schurrle and Ram out of the auditorium.

"Mario, you are really good, you deserve the applause." Schurrle said.

Gotze sniffed, he felt unable to speak, as if he would burst into tears if he spoke.

He couldn't tell how he felt, the feeling when acting was different from watching it on the screen.He couldn't think about so much when acting. He just followed Xu Erle's request and tried his best to express his former self.But just now when he was watching a movie, he deeply felt that in this hour and a half, he had re-experienced his life of more than twenty years.

And this made him miss the Marco Reus who always wore all kinds of T-shirts in private, but always went forward on the court.

The last picture of the movie just now appeared in his mind-the young Meyer with a gold medal symbolizing the championship hanging on his chest, holding up a white jersey with the number 21 on it.

Stop it, Mario!Think no more!Gotze told himself.It's too embarrassing to cry out here!

"I will contact some familiar reporters later to find a way to publicize today's incident," Ram said.

Schurrle agreed with a smile: "That's right, it needs to be publicized! The opening film of the Berlin Film Festival won a standing ovation for one minute! It's so cool to say this!"

"Tomorrow morning, or at the latest in the afternoon, I will arrange for a reporter to conduct an exclusive interview with you." Ram turned to Gotze and said, "Be prepared, Mario."

Gotze nodded.

"Mr. Gotze?"

Gotze came back to his senses and found that the reporter in front of him was a little puzzled.

"Sorry," Gotze said with a smile, "Can I trouble you to repeat the previous question? I was distracted."

The reporter didn't say much, and repeated the question again: "How did you manage to portray a character so realistically when you were making this film? I mean...it doesn't even look like acting." , but as a personal experience.”

Gotze thought for a while, and replied: "Just treat yourself as him."

That's right, just think of yourself as him.

In fact, what he "performed", or restored, was clearly himself.With the addition of Royce, it has become much easier.

I don't know what method Ram used to get Royce to agree to participate in the role, and he played the player Royce in the Gotze story, even though this character was renamed Rice in Schurrler's script special.

On the set, Gotze didn't need too much imagination to bring himself back to his life in the first 23 years, because Marco Reus was standing beside him.So when shooting, Gotze indulged himself a little bit, allowing himself to regard Royce in this world as the talented player he was very familiar with.And after the daily shooting, he began to deliberately keep a distance from Royce, because he was afraid that he would become more and more confused between the two people-this is very dangerous.

Royce seemed to be aware of his estrangement, but didn't say much.Of course, it may also be that the right opportunity was not found-Goetze did not leave such an opportunity, and on this point, he seemed as determined as the other Mario had shown before.

After seeing off the reporter, Gotze opened the window to breathe.

It's cold in Berlin in February, especially when the snow has just fallen.Gotze breathed out, watching the white breath gradually dissipate, feeling a little lost.

When was the last time you saw snow?

If you don't count skiing, then it was probably February last year, when I was doing daily training on Sebena Street.At that time, who would have thought that only one year later, another
