Fame with a ball

Hollywood stars and so on, after watching too much, they will calm down.

After capturing all the stars who had come to the Galaxy to watch football, and obtained group photos or autographs, Lin Zhigao was satisfied and resumed his days of hard training.

However, Verratti and the others’ enthusiasm has been thoroughly teased. These bachelors have been running very diligently from the training ground to the Galaxy’s home court recently. Whenever the Galaxy team plays, as long as Capello’s management is not particularly strict, they will definitely Will sneak away to watch the game just to admire the Hollywood socialites in the stands.

In the words of Verratti, "What if some star falls in love with me and insists on being my wife? Isn't it better to find them than those model girls?"

This is true.The Hollywood stars who buy the home tickets of the Galaxy team are basically people who have contacts with the Beckhams, and the cards are generally relatively big. Whether it is their fame, word-of-mouth or appearance, they are indeed the Europeans who rely on their youth. There are several streets of so-called "supermodels" who are famous for shooting underwear ads.

But...Will Verratti's enthusiasm really be rewarded?Lin Zhigao can only wish them good luck.

The days of training in the United States are very relaxed, sweating every day, and occasionally seeing the prosperity of Los Angeles, meeting Hollywood stars and so on, ten days passed in a blink of an eye.The day before leaving Los Angeles, Juventus played a friendly match against the LA Galaxy at Home Depot Center, home of the Galaxy.

On the day of the game, there were a lot of fans and celebrities who came to watch the game. The 2 tickets were sold out. Everyone wanted to see how the Los Angeles Galaxy, directed by Beckham, could compete with Juventus.

Although Juventus will definitely win the Los Angeles Galaxy in terms of strength, can Juventus really score a big score for the Galaxy at Home Depot Stadium?Of course not.

There are also rules for friendly matches. Since it is a friendly match, the game must be more entertaining than competitive.Under the guidance of Capello, Juventus temporarily abandoned their usual calm and cautious style of play, but deliberately played a very relaxed game rhythm to cater to the style of the Galaxy team, and also loosened their defense.

Capello didn't even dare to put Lin Zhigao in the starting lineup because he was worried that Lin Zhigao would continue to shoot at the Galaxy's goal at the beginning of the game.Instead, after playing 20 minutes in the first half and the score remained at 0:0, Lin Zhigao was replaced.In Capello's view, as long as Lin Zhigao didn't penetrate the opponent's goal at the beginning of the game, it was already giving the Los Angeles Galaxy a lot of face. As for how Lin Zhigao would play the game after playing, then he didn't care.

As Capello expected, Lin Zhigao scored a goal for the Bianconeri less than 5 minutes after he came on the field, which was also the first goal of the game.Then in the next game time, he pierced the opponent's goal three times with four shots, staged a beautiful hat-trick, and the Galaxy's goalkeeper Ricketts couldn't defend him at all.

And Lin Zhigao's outstanding performance also won warm applause from the fans in the stands. Regardless of whether they knew Lin Zhigao before or not, they all applauded for the performance of this young Chinese player at the moment, and even came to watch the game just to pay attention The star person kept asking the people around him in the stands: Who is this pretty boy with yellow skin?Is it a Japanese player?

Some half-red and half-purple stars in Hollywood also waved their arms "regardless of image" and shouted "Come on!" when they scored wonderful goals on the field, they didn't care which team scored the goal As for the players, as long as they can attract the reporters sitting in the audience and gain some exposure for themselves by blogging a few pages in tomorrow's newspaper, it is a victory for them.

This actually caused some Hollywood entertainment reporters who didn't pay much attention to sports news to whisper to each other in doubt: Is this yellow-skinned Juventus No. 10 a superstar?Why are so many people cheering for his goal?

The score at the end of the game was 4:2, a score that satisfied both teams.Lin Zhigao contributed a hat-trick for Juventus, and Vucinic scored the other goal.The two goals of the Galaxy team were all due to Del Piero. This brave player at the age of 40 relied on his understanding of his old teammates to successfully score two goals for the Galaxy team. When he shot, The cheers from the stands were the highest.

After the game, there was another interesting incident. When Juventus players and Galaxy players stood in the mixed zone and shook hands to say goodbye, Beckham and Victoria’s youngest son Cruz suddenly ran down from the stands. , he ran straight to Lin Zhigao wearing the No. 23 Galaxy team jersey, raised his head and said that he would exchange jerseys with him.

Lin Zhigao bent down and teased him: "Why do you want to change the jersey with me? You are not a player who is playing against us."

"I will be one day sooner or later." Cruz, who has been praised by the media for his football talent, has become more and more obvious in recent years. One day, I will defeat you."

Lin Zhigao blinked, but before he reacted, his teammate De Chelie laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, Lin, you are really unlikable. There is a boy who is only a few years old to challenge you! Haha Haha, I'm dying laughing."

Cruz's little face suddenly turned red, and he yelled at De Qie Lie angrily: "What are you laughing at? I will definitely defeat him, definitely!"

"Ahem, well, I won't laugh at you anymore." Decherie also found that it was a bit inhumane to laugh at a little boy, so he suppressed his smile and said with a serious look: " However, you are only 8 years old this year, aren’t you, Lin Ke is 12 years older than you. What if Lin has already retired when you play football and join the team as the main force to compete with us?”

Cruz wrinkled the tender skin on his face, thought for a while, and said: "Brooklyn will play football a few years before me, and I can let him beat you first! We are all dad's sons, and that's the same. "

"...Okay." Lin Zhigao rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "Then I will wait for you to defeat me."

Cruz nodded solemnly, and even stretched out his fleshy little palm: "Let's hook our fingers to make an agreement."

Lin Zhigao squatted down so that he was at the same height as Cruz.Then stretched out the little finger of his right hand and pulled it with him.

Suddenly someone not far away shouted: "Cruz! Lin!"

One big and one small turned their heads together and saw the flashing lights connected together.

……

Before leaving Los Angeles, Lin Zhigao made a hasty trip to Hollywood to sign a contract.

The well-known animation production company Pixar invited him to dub a cartoon "Save the Earth" to be released early next year, and there are two versions in Chinese and English, because China has already purchased the right to show this cartoon. In early 2014, it was released one week later than in North America.

When Jiang Shupeng received the invitation from Pixar, he was overjoyed.It's really drowsy like meeting a pillow. He just thought that Lin Zhigao would go to the United States more often to pave the way for his post-retirement years, and the opportunity to become famous has come!Although dubbing an animated character is not as impressive as acting in a movie directly.

But, this is a Pixar animated film!It is a masterpiece of Pixar that has had a profound impact on the world's animation industry! Once "Save the Earth" is released, there will be hundreds of millions of viewers!Not to mention the box office.At that time, the super high exposure rate of this animation, can't it bring a little bonus to Lin Zhigao?

And Lin Zhigao himself had no intention of rejecting the contract.Voice an animated character?What an interesting thing!Almost every child who grew up watching cartoons has fantasized about becoming the protagonist of the cartoon. What’s more, judging from the script given by Pixar, the plot of this cartoon is also very interesting. The dubbing of cartoons must be more wonderful than filming.

There are many reasons why Pixar chose Lin Zhigao as the voice actor instead of other Hollywood stars.First, because of Pixar's emphasis on the Chinese market, the box office of North American movies in China has shown a snowballing trend in recent years.The second is also because of the uniqueness of the character voiced by Lin Zhigao - Mike, a bad-tempered bulldog from London who can play football.

Yes, just like Pixar's consistent style, the protagonists of this "Save the Earth" are still not human beings, but a group of strange animals.

The plot of the story is roughly like this: Humans on Earth who live peacefully and peacefully do not know that a group of aliens are planning to attack the Earth in the distant space, and they have sent spies to the Earth to find out the news.These aliens usually communicate in space language, humans can't hear the sound at all, and radar can only detect normal signals, but the animals on the earth can understand the language of this group of aliens and understand their conspiracy.So in order to save the earth, a lion full of heroism, with the assistance of military cats, looks for all kinds of animals with super powers in the world, and prepares to defeat aliens and launch a battle to defend the earth...

In this group of superheroes in the animal world, there are lions who like to sing operas and use sound waves as weapons, reindeer that can turn into monsters when angry like Hulk, a rhinoceros that can be called the best gladiator, and a A Persian cat with a high IQ who can manipulate human missile programs, a bulldog who loves to play football but can also play with heavy artillery, etc.

This bad-tempered bulldog named Mike is from London, England. It is a pet dog raised by a middle-class couple. He has served in the army, so he knows a lot about weapons.He speaks a fluent London accent, but has a grumpy personality. He likes to smoke and drink (of course secretly behind his master's back). If the master disagrees during the football game, he will sit on the master's head angrily.

When Bulldog Mike thought he would live a comfortable and leisurely life in London (bullying his master?) until his old age, the call of the military cat made him rekindle his sense of fighting and fight to protect the earth—it is worth mentioning Strangely enough, Bulldog Mack would wear all of his outfits whenever he went into battle.A typical British three-piece suit, wearing a top hat, smoking a cigar in his mouth, and then carrying a sniper gun, shooting wildly at the enemy.

So we can understand the reason why Pixar company approached Lin Zhigao - he has a fluent London accent, Mandarin, and is a famous football player. While completing his dubbing work perfectly, he can also crazily drive the box office market in Asia. .With the attention paid to him by the UK and Italy, maybe the European market can also use him as a selling point?

The only problem is that Bulldog Mike is a very emotional character. His voice needs to sound gentle and noble in normal times, violent and crazy when he is angry, and friendly and brave when he is with his friends.Pixar hopes to perfectly show Mike's three different voice emotions during the dubbing process of cartoons, so they hope that Lin Zhigao will go to Hollywood to receive a period of training before the actual dubbing work, and Lin Zhigao also agreed .

This cartoon is still in the process of post-production, and it will be completed by the end of 13.Then the dubbing work started in January 14, and it was promoted and released at the end of March. The release schedule varies according to the distribution of each region. The longest release date arranged by a country is directly from the beginning of April to the beginning of June when the World Cup is held.The football plot in the cartoon can also be a proper warm-up for the World Cup, and by the way, boost its own box office.

It seems that Lin Zhigao will spend the next New Year in the United States.

……

Leaving the Los Angeles Galaxy, all Juventus have thrown themselves into the arms of the New York Red Bulls.

This Red Bull is that Red Bull, that invigorating energy drink or something.The New York Red Bulls were formerly known as the New York Metropolitan Stars. In 06, the team was acquired by Red Bull.The Red Bulls used to be the most famous football team in the United States. In the 80s and [-]s, football superstars Pele, Cruyff, Beckenbauer and others joined.

However, in the past ten years, their limelight is obviously not as good as the Los Angeles Galaxy, which has Beckham and Del Piero joining.In order to compete with the Galaxy team, although the New York Red Bulls can't replicate a Hollywood in their own city, they are also rich and have also introduced "King of Highbury" Henry from Arsenal, former Barcelona main force Max, and In this summer, two teams, Chelsea and Roma, were invited to train and play friendly matches.

The arrival of Juventus has made the city of New York more lively.Red Bull, Roma, Chelsea, Juventus all under one roof, and for the first time ever, New York City newspapers reported more football news than football, basketball, ice hockey and baseball.You must know that Americans have never liked football because of historical reasons. Pele, the football king, came to this country more than 20 years ago and wanted to use his influence to promote football in the United States, but he failed in the end.

Of course, it is impossible for Americans to completely change their views on football just because European teams come to play a few friendly matches, and abandon other ball sports. However, as long as there is more media exposure and strong public opinion guidance, football It can still flourish in North America.

On July 7th, after traveling to five cities in the United States and playing friendly matches with Los Angeles Galaxy, New York Red Bulls, Chicago Fire, Sporting Kansas City, and Washington D.C. United, Capello announced that this year's American training is over, and all Juventus players are now You can go back to each family to find your own mother, but at the beginning of August, all will gather again to go to Valle d'Aosta, Italy for 10 days of training, and then go to Guangzhou to play this year's Italian Super Cup.

Teammates bought air tickets in Washington one after another, some went home, some went on vacation.Lin Zhigao also bought a plane ticket, but he flew to Rio de Janeiro. Rio is one of the host cities of the World Cup in Brazil, and it is also the shooting location of the Pepsi World Cup commercial.

In that enthusiastic South American land, many big-name stars have gathered at this moment. Pepsi-Cola spared no expense for next year's World Cup, and invited 9 football stars to shoot next year's carnival advertisement. They even wanted to poach from Coca-Cola. Ronaldo, it’s a pity that Ronaldo himself did not agree to the Pepsi contract—according to rumors, the reason why Ronaldo refused to sign with Pepsi was because he wanted to fight against Messi. When Messi signed Pepsi, he went to Coca-Cola, and Messi endorsed it. In addition to Adidas, Nike launched the assassin boots for Ronaldo.

But as we all know, every football year, the sales of beer, cola, potato chips, etc. on the market will double. If the competition between Pepsi and Coca-Cola does not seize the market at this time, they would be stupid.According to media reports, Coca-Cola does not want to sit still on advertising. They have invited a lot of supermodels to join Ronaldo in preparing to shoot an advertisement for the World Cup. Unfortunately, the location they chose is also Brazil. Rio de Janeiro...
