Fame with a ball

At Rio de Janeiro International Airport, not long after Lin Zhigao passed the passage, he saw Messi calmly signing autographs for fans surrounded by the crowd.

"Leo!" Lin Zhigao shouted and waved his hands vigorously.

Messi looked up, saw Lin Zhigao, smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up, said goodbye to the fans around him, and then walked towards Lin Zhigao.

The two walked towards the exit of the airport together. Lin Zhigao only carried a bag of clothes, and Messi wanted to help him carry it. Lin Zhigao was tired and hungry after sitting on the plane for several hours. The other party carried the luggage.

The place Pepsi prepared for the stars is a five-star hotel in the center of Rio de Janeiro, and it is a suite for each person, which completely avoids the embarrassment of having a star pick up a girl back to the hotel, but being bumped into by a roommate.

Lin Zhigao's room is next to Messi's. This floor is occupied by PepsiCo. Other stars live in other rooms. When getting out of the elevator, Lin Zhigao and Messi even met Balotelli.

Balotelli was wearing a tight T-shirt and shorts, with IPODs in his ears, walked straight into the elevator shaking his head, and then pressed the 1 button.

The elevator doors closed slowly, and Lin Zhigao hurriedly pressed the pause button. Just as the elevator reached the top floor, Balotelli came in as soon as the door opened. He and Messi didn't want to sit on the first floor and then go up.

The elevator door opened again, and Balotelli stood beside him unhappily, poking his finger at the first floor.

Lin Zhigao kept pressing the pause button until he got impatient and turned around and shouted at Balotelli, "You wait until we get out before closing the elevator doors!"

Balotelli continued to poke the button with his finger as if he didn't hear Lin Zhigao's words.

Lin Zhigao was going crazy.

Messi walked up to Balotelli, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Hey man, can you stop your action first."

then……

Lin Zhigao saw Balotelli slowly turn his face towards Messi, staring at Messi's hand for a few seconds, then suddenly shook his head and sang a song!

It's still a black hip-hop music with surging rhythm and volume!

He also sang and twisted his ass along with the music!

Lin Zhigao froze as if a live concert was being held in the small elevator room.

Messi leaned his head forward, and after listening to Balotelli's earphones for a few seconds, he turned his head and said to Lin Zhigao: "He is singing along with the song in the earphones."

Lin Zhigao decisively slapped Balotelli's hand off with a black line on his head, and then took the opportunity to drag Messi out of the elevator.

Balotelli shook his palm indifferently, still singing loudly, and immediately continued to press the button, this time the elevator door was completely closed as he wished.

Lin Zhigao twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "This time I finally understand why people say 'Bashen's world, you don't understand'."

……

After all the stars of Lin Zhigao's level arrived, Pepsi officials came forward to hold a press conference and a dinner party. All Pepsi signed stars attended, as well as many local football stars in Brazil.

Torres, Messi, Kaka, Neymar, Lin Zhigao, Gomez, Benzema, Rooney, Balotelli and other 8 stars from 9 countries will shoot 2 different versions of the advertisement for Pepsi, in order to pursue The biggest publicity stunt, some retired Brazilian stars may also appear in the commercials, such as the already retired alien Ronaldo.

Pepsi paid a sky-high endorsement fee and brought so many stars to Brazil. Naturally, it is impossible for them to enjoy the hotel in vain. On the second day of the press conference, the advertising film crew also stayed together. We will be traveling together in various locations in Rio de Janeiro, busy with commercials.

Since it is preparing for the World Cup in 14, the two commercials planned to be shot are naturally inseparable from football.The first advertisement even borrowed the Maracanã Stadium in the center of Rio de Janeiro, which was the final venue of the 1950 World Cup, because it accommodated about 20 fans to watch the game at one go. best in the world".

This advertisement tells about Lin Zhigao and his companions traveling to Brazil. When watching a game at the Maracana Stadium, these proud and arrogant stars despise the skills of the two teams in the stands. The result angered fans in the stands to follow a team that was playing.

The Brazilian team proposed to challenge the stars. The stars not only agreed, but also boasted to the team: "We will make you look ugly!"

But after the game started, the situation was completely different from what the stars had imagined.The Brazilian team's offense is fierce and efficient. They can always make accurate and timely changes based on the reactions of the stars. They are solid in defense and cooperate with each other in offense. Obviously, they use tactics very cleverly.

On the other hand, the star team, most of them are offensive players, so the defense is very weak, they don't even have a goalkeeper... and during the game, the stars don't accept anyone, and flock to the football to attack , It’s fine if you don’t pass the ball to each other, and even you grab my ball, and I grab your ball, and there will be a little infighting from time to time.

The ending, of course, is that the star team was abused by the Brazilian team, and the abuse was very miserable.At the end of the game, when the stars were convincingly shaking hands with their opponents, the head coach of the opposing team appeared—it was the alien Ronaldo!

Pepsi's football advertisements are unreasonable in order to pursue the maximum publicity effect. For example, in the 10 South Africa Carnival advertisement, a group of football superstars can't beat the African indigenous people. 12 years of superstar advertisements, Messi and the others can even play football on top of the crowd and so on.The plot design of the Brazil Carnival advertisement this time is quite reasonable. The stars are fighting each other and fighting each other, and it is also to let everyone show off their best skills.

But the filming of the ad was not as smooth as everyone expected.

It is still rare in football to be an opponent on the field and a good friend off the field.Most of the 9 stars who participated in the commercial shooting came from different leagues. They did not meet several times throughout the year. They only met occasionally in national games or in the Champions League and Europa League. They still appeared in a hostile relationship. The other party is just like strangers in the same profession, how tacit can you ask them to cooperate?

What's more, the purpose of filming commercials is to show off their skills. When the stars were filming at the Maracana Stadium, they accidentally forgot that this was acting, and the fighting was too much, and the movements were too big.For example, when Rooney was filming, he "accidentally" broke the football from Lin Zhigao's feet vigorously, and even stepped on a bicycle to circle the field gorgeously for half a circle, and finally aimed at the goal with a heavy artillery attack.The action was beautiful, but it didn't meet the director's requirements at all, so it was stopped urgently and started all over again.

So in the second shooting, Lin Zigao also "accidentally" walked the ball from Rooney's feet, and when the opponent caught up with him angrily and was about to steal the ball, he also made a signature neon light pass.The director reluctantly let this pass, but it offended Balotelli, who has been shooting commercials in a low-key way. We will never understand Balotelli's thinking. We only know that he followed closely behind, started chasing the football all over the field, and Relying on his strong body, he knocked down two stars in one breath... Then Gomez...Neymar...Benzema...Torres, even the good old Kaka and Messi were all caught in it.

An advertisement shot was full of gunpowder, and the major players refused to give in to play football in the stadium.The football team of a certain university in Brazil participated in the filming together. They have been playing the role of green leaves conscientiously, but later the commercial shooting was completely crooked, and they retreated to the side of the field to watch the stars perform.

The director, who couldn't bear it anymore, became angry and announced that he would end today's filming and continue tomorrow.

The stars stopped chasing, looked at each other, and saw a faint look of embarrassment on each other's faces—except, of course, Bashen.

……

After playing football for almost a day, Messi and Lin Zhigao, who were drenched in sweat, were going back to the hotel to take a shower, and then go to dinner together and visit the night market.They had just stepped out of the stadium and stood in the street to catch a taxi when Neymar showed up.

Seeing the thin figure with the cockscomb head approaching Messi, Lin Zhigao turned his head helplessly and silently rolled his eyes.

I don’t know if it’s because he admires Messi or he’s going to move to Barcelona next season, so he wants to build a good relationship with the Nou Camp king earlier, Neymar’s performance all day today is extremely "positive"-first In the morning, when Lin Zhi called Messi to have breakfast together, he saw that the other party was already waiting outside Messi's door, knocking on the door persistently.Then, during breakfast and lunch, Lin Zhigao was pushed aside from Messi, more than one meter away from his friend.

Not only in the private space, even when shooting commercials, Neymar clings to Messi, smiling like he doesn't want money, and keeps flashing at Messi, which makes Lin Zhigao want to remind him: "Hey, A proper smile is kind, but if you smile too much, you will become a silly classmate!"

If it's just that, it's fine, but when Neymar was still close to Messi, Lin Zhigao didn't exist.

Lin Zhigao was ignored by him for a whole day!

It seems that he is an invisible person in Neymar's eyes!

Lin Zhigao is depressed, he is obviously taller than Messi and Neymar, although he is a little thinner, but he is a living person!How could a normal person think he didn't exist?Even Lu Xiaopang, who has seen him not deal with him since the Premier League, gave them two supercilious looks today!

So Lin Zhigao firmly believes that Neymar doesn't like him.

As for the reason?How does he know... maybe Neymar is jealous that he is more handsome than him?

Messi also knows Lin Zhigao's mood, but he can't treat the enthusiasm of his future teammates.So for Neymar's sincere invitation, he could only politely refuse: "I have already made an appointment with Lin Xian."

Neymar glanced at Lin Zhigao coldly, and said enthusiastically to Messi: "Then I can join you."

Lin Zhigao felt that the way Neymar looked at him made him very unhappy, so he stopped doing face-saving projects, put an arm on Messi's shoulder, and said like a ruffian: "This is not good, I didn't invite you. "

Neymar ignored him, but looked at Messi expectantly.

Messi is in a dilemma.

Lin Zhigao finally sighed, retracted his paw from Messi's shoulder, waved to stop a taxi, and then said to Messi: "Go and join this Mr. Silva at the party he held for you, I will Go back to the hotel first."

Messi's face suddenly turned red, and he grabbed Lin Zhigao's arm: "Lin, you, come with us."

"Participate in a high-end banquet in Brazil's upper class?" Lin Zhigao raised his eyebrows, "Please forgive me."

After waving at Messi, he got into the taxi.

……

After returning to the hotel, taking a shower and changing clothes, Lin Zhigao was hungry and bored, but he didn't want to stay in the hotel to order food, so he took his wallet and mobile phone and went out to wander.Anyway, he can speak Spanish, which is an official second language in Brazil, and he can eat well in Rio de Janeiro, so he doesn't have to worry about getting lost.

The hotel is located in the center of Rio. Ask for directions. After turning a few blocks, you will come to a storefront street consisting of cafes, restaurants and bars.

Randomly jumped to a restaurant that looked good, Lin Zhigao walked in, ordered a set meal for himself, and while waiting for the food to be served, he lazily leaned on the comfortable sofa seat and looked at the outside through the French windows beside him. pedestrian.

Suddenly, he felt someone staring at him.

Lin Zhigao straightened up vigilantly, frowned slightly and looked out the floor-to-ceiling windows, thinking that some fans or reporters had spotted him, but soon he realized that the gaze was from inside the restaurant, and then he quickly turned his head and followed the three Two little five pairs of eyes collided together.

Ronaldo, who was wearing a blue shirt, was staring at him with piercing eyes, and Kaka, his wife and children sat beside him.

"It's Lin!" Kaka waved enthusiastically to Lin Zhigao, then stood up and walked towards him: "Are you alone, or with Messi? I saw you left the stadium together."

"I'm alone." Lin Zhi shrugged his shoulders: "Messi was invited away by Neymar."

Kaka smiled and didn't continue to ask anything, but invited him: "Sit with us? I will introduce my wife to you."

Lin Zhigao nodded, and Kaka summoned the waiters to ask them to remove Lin Zhigao's original table and add an extra chair beside their table.

At the rectangular table, Lin Zhigao was led to sit next to Ronaldo. Opposite them were Kaka and Caroline, and two children sitting in children's chairs. They all had big black and round eyes, focusing on the food in their hands. Food, looks very cute.

Lin Zhigao looked at the two children intently for a while, and when he suddenly remembered that he should say something first, he raised his head and saw Kaka and Caroline looking at him with kind smiles on their faces. Seeing Lin Zhigao's attention to the two children, he developed a good impression of him.

Then he heard Ronaldo snorting slightly.

But Lin Zhigao pretended he didn't hear anything.

Kaka introduced his wife to Lin Zhigao, and also introduced Lin Zhigao to his wife Caroline.When Kakana's five-year-old son Luka heard Kaka say "Lin is also a very good player", he blinked his big eyes and asked in a childish voice: "He also plays in Dad's team." Is it?"

"No, Lin and Dad are not on the same team, he is in Italy." Kaka said to his son gently: "But I think we will still have a great chance to be teammates in the future."

Although Lin Zhigao can often see news from the newspapers that reporters swear that he will transfer to Real Madrid, Chelsea or Manchester City, everyone knows that those media are just running the train. Hearing from Real Madrid players, this is still It was the first time, so he was very surprised.

But soon he took these words as Kaka coaxing his son, because Kaka is neither the director nor the head coach of Real Madrid, how could he know that Real Madrid will be able to buy Lin Zhigao?On the contrary, Lin Zhigao himself, as long as there is an olive branch extended to him by a club, Jiang Shupeng will report to him and know.So Lin Zhigao continued to sit calmly, without any reaction to Kaka's words.

Ronaldo saw it, couldn't help it, put his head under Lin Zhigao's eyelids, and said in a low voice: "What is your reaction? So confident that you will be able to come to the Bernabéu?"

Lin Zhigao looked at him in surprise: "Isn't Kaka just kidding my son?"

Ronaldo: "..."

A small vein popped out from Ronaldo's temple, but he wouldn't tell Lin Zhigao about the truth!

Seeing Ronaldo turning his head viciously and using all his strength to cut the food on the plate with a knife and fork, Lin Zhigao touched his nose in embarrassment, not knowing where he had offended him again.

Fortunately, Kaka and his wife have been very warm and thoughtful, and they have been talking with him about the customs and customs of various places.When the food ordered by Lin Zhigao was served, he realized that he had mistrusted the menu and the food he ordered was too spicy to eat. Caroline also thoughtfully ordered for Lin Zhigao an authentic Brazilian food that suits his taste. .

Until the new dishes came to the table, Lin Zhigao's mouth was still red and swollen from the spicy food, and the tip of his tongue gasped.To be honest, he really did not expect that Brazilian food would be as spicy as Hunan cuisine, but later he heard from Kaka that although many dishes in Brazil use chili peppers, there are not many very spicy foods. Lin Zhigao himself was unlucky and ordered the wrong dish.

Facing the delicious food, he could only poke it with a knife and fork helplessly, and then cut it into small pieces. After carefully observing it with his eyes for a while, he carefully put it into his mouth while still breathing slightly.

Then, Lin Zhigao heard...

Cristiano Ronaldo next door laughed smugly, then laughed in a low voice, and finally developed into a big laugh. He pointed at Lin Zhigao while laughing, and quickly said to Luca and Isabella, who was only two years old: "Look at him. What does it look like to eat now? The answer is correct, uncle will buy you gifts."

The Kaka couple frowned and looked at Ronaldo: "Cris!"

Ronaldo just kept coaxing Luca to talk to Isabella quickly.

Isabella, who had just learned to speak, looked at Lin Zhigao for a while with her big watery eyes, and said in a childish voice, "Like a hamster."

"No, it looks like a squirrel." Luca interrupted his sister, "And it's the one in "Ice Age"."

Lin Zhigao: "..."

Kaka and Caroline laughed endlessly.

Ronaldo nodded in satisfaction: "When it's your birthday, I'll give you whatever you want."

Lin Zhigao raised his eyebrows, pointed at Ronaldo suddenly, and asked Luca and Isabella, "Have you ever seen him play football?"

The two cute children nodded in unison.

Ronaldo stretched out his arm and swung Lin Zhigao's arm away: "Where are you pointing?"

Lin Zhigao ignored him, took out his mobile phone without saying a word, and after pressing it, he suddenly leaned forward, completely covering Ronaldo's sight, stretched his left hand forward, and asked with a smile: "Then you see, he Does it look like this?"

"Like!" The two children were born together again, and Luca giggled and said, "It really looks like it."

The Kaka couple's left position can also see what is on the phone, Caroline couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

Ronaldo suddenly stretched out his hand to snatch Lin Zhigao's cell phone. Lin Zhigao stood up to avoid him, switched the cell phone from his left hand to his right hand, and turned it off while holding it high.

"What did you show them!" the robot yelled at Lin Zhigao.

Lin Zhigao said triumphantly: "I won't tell you~ I won't tell you~"

After the chaotic meal, Lin Zhigao said goodbye to Kaka's family with a smile on his face, and then happily called a taxi back to the hotel.

Almost at the moment when Lin Zhigao got into the taxi, Ronaldo grabbed Kaka's arm and couldn't bear to ask him: "What did that Hun Dan put on his phone? Is it something strange? !"

Caroline immediately covered her mouth and laughed.Beside her, Luca and Isabella were watching Ronaldo's excited reaction with wide and curious eyes.

Kaka suppressed a smile, patted Ronaldo on the shoulder, and said: "Cris, this is the first time for me, you really look like... Hulk on the court! Hahahaha!" (Hulk = Hulk)

Ronaldo's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
