Before the match against Cologne, Emily returned from Wimbledon to "experience life". In fact, it cannot be considered experiencing life. Going to Wimbledon is to go back to her home, where she is more familiar than in Sinsheim, and there is no need to experience it at all. She just goes to enjoy her trip home. There are her "old guys", her favorite bars, and of course the football team she cares about the most.

Therefore, it may be more appropriate to say "vacation".

When she was on vacation in Wimbledon, the script created by Lin Haitingtao was being revised for the fifth time. She had read the first four times for Chu Zhongtian. Every time she read it, Chu Zhongtian would put forward many modifications and let Lin Haitingtao modify it. After listening to these modifications, Lin Haitingtao said that it would be better to rewrite it. Because after listening to these modifications, new ideas emerged in his mind. So he rewritten it and rewrite it again and again, and wrote it five times. Although he wrote it five times, he was getting closer and closer to the story in Chu Zhongtian's heart. These hard work can be regarded as

It's worth it. Lin Haitingtao, an online writer, has worked hard enough during this period. Writing scripts can only be considered part-time for him. Writing online literature is a serious job. The characteristics of online literature require that he cannot stop updating. Not only can he not stop updating, but he also occasionally breaks out. Writing 10,000 words of online novels every day is a compulsory course. Therefore, writing online literature during the day and scripts at night, sometimes even going to the second half of the night, and even his girlfriend who is about to get married is not at ease. Fortunately, his girlfriend supports his work very much, otherwise the fire in the backyard will really disappoint Chu Zhongtian.

At the same time, the talent show about the male lead of the movie has also entered the preparation period. Once it is completed, a grand audition will be held in China. Now, there are many kinds of talent shows in China, and everyone is already used to it. Even the football talent show Mango TV has changed it once, which has caused quite a response. However, using football to select the male lead of the movie and collaborate with Hollywood's first-line movie star Emily Stan to shoot movies. Such a talent show is still very shocking, really eye-catching, and it makes people feel a bit so... shocking.

Don’t you look at acting skills when acting in movies, or whether you look handsome or not? Since when has “knowing to play football” become a necessary condition?

Chu Zhongtian’s request to Yang Yang is that it’s okay to not be able to act in movies. We can train quickly, but those who can’t play football, don’t even watch football, don’t like it, and don’t care about it, don’t come as soon as possible, and can’t even pass the first level. This requirement makes those young people who have received football training but end up giving up halfway for various reasons happy. The protagonist does not have much demand for appearance. As long as you feel that you are not of the level of Quasimodo, you can try it.

Of course, if you can speak English, it would be even more perfect. After all, the whole film is basically filmed in Wimbledon, and the crew is full of foreigners and Hollywood crews. They can't speak English, so it's very troublesome to communicate at work.

What if you can't choose?

Yang Yang asked Chu Zhongtian worriedly.

Chu Zhongtian was very sure: "Impossible, Lao Yang. Let me tell you, there are 1.3 billion Chinese people, experts are among the people, and experts are really among the people. The key is whether you have the patience and ability, and your vision, but you have found them. We have the ability, and I have the patience. Don't worry, Lao Yang. When will we find the male protagonist who satisfies me, and when will this movie start filming?"

Sometimes Chu Zhongtian is so confident and unreasonable, and Yang Yang has long been used to it. So he didn't say anything, but just followed Chu Zhongtian's requirements to implement it.

It is expected that after October 15, the national auditions will be fully launched in seven major cities: Beijing, Dalian, Shanghai, Xi'an, Wuhan, Chengdu and Guangzhou. These seven cities are all places with a good football atmosphere, and Chu Zhongtian's good intentions can also be seen from this.

The audition publicity activities were launched half a month ago, including television, radio, cinema patch advertisements, the Internet, newspapers, various movies and football professional magazines, campus publicity... all-round spread. Spend money to Baidu to buy search rankings, buy advertising spaces, and find public relations companies to organize gunmen to spread widely in famous communities, Weibo, and blogs on the Internet, whether positive or negative. In short, it is to make this news attract everyone's attention, and strive to make this news spread throughout China and become one of the hot topics of discussion among ordinary people and netizens. Then, with such influence and popularity, attract the attention of other media and promote the event for free. Of course, how can you not use classic PR tricks like spending money to find reporters to write soft articles?

Of course, the expenses will be huge. The company's financial manager always frowned and reminded Chu Zhongtian, but Chu Zhongtian didn't care about money. He spent a lot of money when it was time to spend money. As long as it was possible to achieve the effect, spend so much money and he could make a complete payment.

The matter of Quanxing in Sichuan was handed over to Xu Xiaodi, and the matter of making movies was handed over to Yang Yang. Chu Zhongtian’s two most trusted agents in China each perform their duties and fulfill their responsibilities, so he had nothing to worry about.

All he had to do was train, play football, and listen to the two of them calling regularly and sending emails to report on the progress of their work.

※※※Emily played in Wimbledon for a month and felt like "I am happy here, but I don't want to leave". However, she finally came back under Chu Zhongtian's nagging, and brought two news to Chu Zhongtian.

"Russell is back!"

Chu Zhongtian was stunned for a moment. It was not that he didn't know who the name was, but that he was stunned because he didn't expect to hear about him again.

He will never forget this name. Many people will scream when they see Chu Zhongtian controlling the ball on the court and get rid of the opponent's defensive players, praising his excellent skills. But if they saw Chu Zhongtian playing in Wimbledon, they would never have thought that Chu Zhongtian could become like this day. Instead, they felt that Chu Zhongtian at that time was similar to the "rough guys" of the national football team. At that time, Chu Zhongtian didn't even do the most basic ball control well. His role on the court was to keep running, tackle back and forth, and immediately pass the ball to the player closest to him. Passes over fifteen meters will be lost. If the ball is controlled for more than a few seconds, once they are pressed by the opponent, they will lose it. It is useless to be able to run, tackle and defend.

Russell taught him how to control the ball. Although he was a little reluctant at the beginning... but he taught him all the time and benefited him a lot. His initial foundation was made by Russell, and his further improvement was with Metz, under coach Fernandez and Tadio. When he came out of Metz, his skills had basically been improved. He was the style of a professional player, no longer the "Chinese rough brother".

Later, Russell was seriously injured and forced to say goodbye to football. He used the summer vacation to guide his ball control and pass skills to put all his hopes of playing professional football on himself. Later, he really became a professional player and won so many championships. He fought against the world's giant teams one by one. In a sense, it was also fulfilling his wish? I just don't know if he knew and saw it?

Because they have never contacted each other since Russell left Wimbledon. Chu Zhongtian didn't know his phone number, he didn't know where he was in the United States, and what he was doing. This time he married Emily, and Gavin Borger received invitations and was invited to attend, but Russell just couldn't contact him. Even Borger couldn't contact him, and Russell's kid seemed to have disappeared from this planet.

So Chu Zhongtian didn't expect that he could hear from his wife this time.

"I went back to Wimbledon and went to watch Wimbledon's Athletics as usual, but I didn't expect to meet him on the sidelines!" Emily excitedly told Chu Zhongtian about the process of meeting Russell. She knew Russell earlier than Chu Zhongtian, after all, she was a classmate. "He also went to watch the game, with a baseball cap, and I didn't recognize it at the beginning. He recognized me first. He called my name and then took off his hat, and I recognized it as Russell."

Chu Zhongtian nodded. Emily is a big star and "Princess Duns". She was originally very well-known in the minds of Wimbledon Athletics fans. When they arrived at the stadium, they were naturally the focus of attention. It was not surprising that Russell recognized Emily.

"Guess what he is doing now?"

Chu Zhongtian said: "Follow his dad to do business? Isn't his dad a businessman?"

Emily smiled, smiling proudly: "No, he is coaching at Wimbledon Athletics!"

Chu Zhongtian said in surprise, "Ah" which was really something he didn't expect... But then he thought that this kid showed his talent in being a coach when he taught him to play football. Wimbledon is his favorite team, so now he will be nothing surprising when he goes there to be a coach.

"He is now a youth team coach at Wimbledon Athletics, specializing in the daily training of the youth teams under 11 to under 14. He is doing a very happy job," Emily introduced.

Do you teach children to play football? Chu Zhongtian thought, that is very consistent with his characteristics. The players he taught must have good skills!

Wimbledon Athletics had already started to build echelons before Chu Zhongtian left. This is the gap between Chinese football and high-level football abroad. Wimbledon Athletics was just an amateur team at that time, without the investment of the boss, and it all relied on donations and ticket income from members. But even so, they started to build echelons in the second year of building the team. The initial establishment was the reserve team, women's football team, women's football reserve team, under fourteen, under eleven, and under ten years old.

What about national football clubs? It is normal to focus on first-team construction and ignore echelon construction. The Football Association even requires the clubs to force the clubs to build echelons. As a result, under such regulations, many Chinese clubs only acquire a low-level team or a football school team as a whole. If you buy it, you will not spend any effort to build and operate it. As for what does the echelon have to do with the first team... Except for them being a team under the name of the same club, you really can't see any connection.

The details are devils, and it can be seen from these details that it makes sense that Chinese football is so backward and has such a bad reputation.

Chu Zhongtian was a little curious: "Didn't Russell say that his boss wanted him to take over? Why did he run to Wimbledon to be a coach again?"

Emily shrugged: "He said he was not a business man, but he still liked football, so he ran back."

"Tsk tsk, so cool." Chu Zhongtian sighed. When he found out that he still liked playing football, he had been struggling between his studies and football for a long time.

"It is also a kind of happiness to do the job you like in the team you like..." In fact, Chu Zhongtian is also very happy, doing the career he likes, and doing well.

The happiest thing in the world is to do what you want to do.

※※※After talking about Russell’s situation, Emily told Chu Zhongtian another thing.

Some time ago, Wimbledon Athletic Club sent a letter to each member notifying them to attend the club's membership meeting. This is a regular annual meeting and requires that they participate as much as possible. Unlike ordinary meetings, Chu Zhongtian has long been a member of Wimbledon Athletic and pays a membership fee of 1,000 pounds per year. In fact, he still wants to pay more, but the club has regulations that it is not allowed to pay more, each person is at most 1,000 pounds per year. Like him, Emily is also a member, with a membership fee of 1,000 pounds per year. Not only does it pay the membership fee, they also sponsor several players who play at Wimbledon Athletic. Their names will appear together with the player's names in the club's event manuals triggered by each game.

Just like Emily Stan sponsored Chu Zhongtian.

As a member, Chu Zhongtian should have attended this membership meeting, but because he played football in Germany and had no time, he didn't attend. However, Emily was in Wimbledon at the time, so she attended the meeting.

This time she brought the information from the meeting back and told Chu Zhongtian: "Wimbledon Athletics has changed to professionalism!"

"Oh!" Chu Zhongtian was more surprised than hearing Russell's return, but he was more happy.

"The average attendance rate last season exceeded 3500, so the club's board of directors decided to turn to professionalism, so that the team will have a better future for development. This meeting was discussed and voted on this matter. Everyone agreed to turn to professionalism. I also agreed."

Whether it is paying ten pounds of membership fees or one thousand pounds of membership fees, the voting rights are the same. Everyone has only one vote. Chu Zhongtian did not participate, and his vote would be invalidated and Emily could not be voted on behalf of others. Emily also had only one vote. However, according to Emily, the decision to professionalize was passed with a high vote. Everyone was unwilling to stay in the amateur league for the rest of their lives. When they were building the team, Chris Stewart, the first chairman of the club, led the fans to shout their slogans and goals: "Return to where you should go, go to the top league! Return to where you should go, southwest London!"

Top leagues are not something that amateur teams can go to, they must be professional. The continued and stable increase in attendance rates in recent seasons have also made the club full of confidence in professionalization, because once the club becomes professional, the expenses will increase greatly. If a stable attendance rate cannot be guaranteed, they will lack the most important source of income. For participating teams without a TV broadcast league, ticket revenue basically accounts for more than 90% of the club's revenue. Player transfers and the income from surrounding goods is not worth mentioning at all.

"It's a good thing to change professionalism, but..." Chu Zhongtian also planned to say that Emily had pointed at his mouth: "I know what you want to say. After professionalism, members will still be members. We are a member-based club, not a club like listed companies. They think that the reason why the crazy gang relocation happened before was because the fate of the club was controlled by a big boss or a few club directors. They didn't care about the voice of the real supporters at all. So the club decided to set up a member-based club from the beginning, and any major matters were decided by the members, and the club's board of directors was also elected by members."

Chu Zhongtian nodded repeatedly after hearing what Emily said.

Although there is a lack of conditions to attract big bosses to invest, a team belonging to their own fans is what fans of the crazy players want most after experiencing so many things. They do not think that the team has a lot of money, a lot of big-name stars, and winning a lot of championships is a successful team. For them, the team belonging to their own is a successful team.

This is the same as Chu Zhongtian’s request for Sichuan Quanxing. His request for Sichuan Quanxing, or his football philosophy, was actually influenced by this group of cute crazy fans.

The team must belong to the fans, and football must also belong to the fans. Otherwise, it is a tree without soil and water without source. What is the meaning?

"There is another thing, Chu." Emily said to Chu Zhongtian.

"Um?"

"After professionalization, there is no limit on membership fees, so those who are capable are encouraged to pay more."

Chu Zhongtian's eyes lit up.

He and Emily thought about helping Wimbledon compete more. He could not play football on behalf of the team like before, but he could pay. He knew that Wimbledon competition needed money. However, due to the limit on the membership fee, he could only pay 1,000 pounds. For a football club, what is a thousand pounds?

Now, this is called money that has money, and powerful efforts. If you can’t do it, you will pay.

Seeing Chu Zhongtian's expression, Emily smiled: "I have already handed over mine."

Chu Zhongtian asked: "How many?"

Emily stretched out five fingers.

"Fifty thousand?" Chu Zhongtian asked.

"Five hundred thousand."

Chu Zhongtian cooperated and made a surprised expression, and then smiled. "Okay, I'll pay 500,000 too."

For the team you like, spending much money is not considered money. This is also Chu Zhongtian’s value.

Both he and Emily hope that this little money will help Wimbledon Athletics. One million pounds are enough for Wimbledon Athletics' various salary budgets for the first team, reserve team and coaching staff in one season, and there is still a rest.

Chu Zhongtian and Emily then talked about the future of Wimbledon after professionalization. Wimbledon has become a freshman. Now Wimbledon is in the fifth and national leagues. As long as they move forward and upgrade to the second league, they will enter the professional league. At that time, they will be only three leagues away from their initial goal. The English League Two is England League One, and the English Champions League is up. Here, they are only one step away from the top Premier League. And Wimbledon's goal is there.

"Hopefully that day won't make us wait too far..." Emily said.

Chu Zhongtian thought about it, then nodded to Emily: "I think...it should be possible within ten years."

"Ten years..." Emily was a little disappointed. She was eager to see Wimbledon appear in the Premier League next year.

Chu Zhongtian thought of his "century-year plan" test field and thought that as a Wimbledon competitive fan, he was much happier than Chinese fans and Sichuan fans.

"Satisfied, it's better than a hundred years, right?"

Emily was speechless.
Chapter completed!
