Chapter 198

After Chu Zhongtian's wedding, he and Emily went on a honeymoon together. Unlike other newlyweds, Chu Zhongtian and Emily went to a tourist destination for honeymoons. Chu Zhongtian and Emily first went back to Wimbledon, England, where they received more blessings. Lao Bente, who did not attend the wedding due to illness, finally had no regrets.

After leaving Wimbledon, the two went directly to China.

While on his honeymoon in China, he also had to negotiate contracts, endorsements and commercials with several Chinese companies. He shone in the Champions League last season, which made Chinese fans admire him and his appeal in the Chinese market reached a higher level. Now his endorsement fee is no longer the same as two years ago, but even so many companies are still willing to spend high prices to make him endorse for one to two years.

Of course, if a company wants Chu Zhongtian and Emily to endorse their brand at the same time, the price paid is definitely not Chu Zhongtian’s own price multiplied by two. Emily is also a world-class star, and her endorsement fee is very high.

But in this regard, Chinese companies once again showed their wealth. Some companies signed Chu Zhongtian and Emily to endorse their husband and wife.

In addition to signing endorsements, Chu Zhongtian also has to manage his own business. The website management company in Shanghai, China has been upgraded to "Zhongtian Culture Development Co., Ltd.". He is preparing to enter the cultural industry, and his first step is to adapt his experience of studying and playing football in Wimbledon into a youth inspirational movie.

Although there is no script or director yet, the female lead is still determined, and Emily Stan will play the role of "Emily" in the play. As for the candidates for the male lead, Chu Zhongtian plans to use the popular national audition model to choose. The standard he sets for the male lead is to look reasonable, not too ugly, nor too handsome, because he is not very handsome, but he must be sunny, healthy, and knows how to play football. It is very important to know how to play football. Chu Zhongtian does not want to train an actor to play football. This is a good opportunity for young people in China who like to play football. Even if they cannot become stars by playing football, they can become movie stars by playing football.

His former college roommate Yang Yang also upgraded from his head of the public relations department to the legal representative of Zhongtian Culture Development Co., Ltd., which was handled with full authority.

First of all, the first part is to find a script writer. Although Chu Zhongtian doesn't understand it very much, his wife Emily understands it. The first important thing in the movie is the script. A good script can save a star who is declining, but a group of popular stars may ruin a bad script. Emily, who is in Hollywood, knows very well. So Yang Yang's first job is to find a suitable script writer.

Emily’s requirement for script writers is not necessarily famous or talented, but she must understand and be good at this topic.

The hard thing about writing the script of this movie is that many domestic script writers do not know enough about football, and the things they write make professional fans want to laugh at it. This drama has a lot of descriptions of English football. Although it is a youthful inspirational drama, the football part is very large. It is estimated that more than one-third of the whole play is filmed on the stadium.

Yang Yang first started with well-known Chinese football reporters, especially those famous reporters who are more familiar with English football. Several reporters were also very interested in cooperation with Chu Zhongtian. Now Chu Zhongtian is the number one figure in the Chinese sports world. After getting involved with him, it will be much more convenient in the future. Therefore, he naturally agreed with such a script invitation.

But after asking them to try to write a part, Chu Zhongtian shook his head - professionalism is professional, and he is more professional than his player. But no matter how you look at it, it is boring and tastes like chewing wax. What he wants is a story that can attract people, not a professional article. The reporters wrote too many professional analysis articles and wrote novel scripts and became dry and boring.

"It's not that I don't respect them, but I definitely won't pay to go to the cinema to read the things they wrote..." Chu Zhongtian yawned and threw the scripts written by these famous reporters aside. "Okay, I'll modify the requirements. Professionalism is second, storyline is first. Professionalism is professional team that can improve and consult, but storyline is not possible for our team." He said to Yang Yang. "Find someone who can write stories, it's best to be good at youth sports stories, and be able to write youthful flavors! This is the most important thing. I don't want a group of old men in their forties and fifties to write stories about young people. They don't know anything about the young people today. How can the things they write resonate with young people?"

When Yang Yang heard him say this, he suddenly laughed: "Then I have a ready-made one, but I don't know if he wants it or not. Because I don't know this person either, I just saw his stuff online..."

Chu Zhongtian was very interested in the person Yang Yang said - you have a ready-made candidate but don't know him, so what is your relationship with this candidate? So he asked: "Who is it?"

Yang Yang opened his laptop, logged on to Qidian Chinese website, then searched for a book called "Champion Godfather", and then turned the screen to Chu Zhongtian: "This person is considered a fellow villager with you."

※※ Lin Haitingtao never dreamed that he would receive such a strange call to write scripts. He was just an ordinary online writer who likes football, and even writers dared not call himself. He laughed at his job as "coded". He never thought he would write scripts, and it was for... Now in Chinese football, no, Chu Zhongtian, the hottest star in Chinese sports, wrote scripts.

At first, he wanted to refuse, not because he didn't want to write it for Chu Zhongtian, but because he was worried that it would disappoint people if he couldn't write it well. However, Yang Yang told Lin Haitingtao that Chu Zhongtian had been reading "The Godfather of the Champion" she wrote these days, and even neglected his newlywed wife Emily, who was very interested in the novels he wrote. He was even more amazed that the author had never been abroad, but he knew so well about English football and had a relatively correct description of English society.

These words gave Lin Haitingtao confidence. He decided to give it a try.

A day later, Chu Zhongtian flew back to Chengdu and met him.

The two talked about football from the novel, and they had a great time. After a day, Chu Zhongtian made the decision - so he asked Lin Haitingtao to write the script and novel of his movie. The script was written for his movie, and the novel was directly published. The two cooperated with hype and promotion. The novel and movie were also the first business and the first big move he opened by Zhongtian Culture Development Co., Ltd.

Even the name Chu Zhongtian was thought of for Lin Haitingtao, and it was called "Wimbledon's Love". It has nothing to do with football, but it is very consistent with the theme elements of the movie, football and love, and tells how he and Emily met and fell in love at Wimbledon through football.

After confirming the name and theme, Lin Haitingtao promised to spend one to two months to write the script, but the novel was not in a hurry and slowly created it. Chu Zhongtian told him that he needed any information and help and directly contact Yang Yang, and he would provide all-round services. Yang Yang and Chu Zhongtian left phone calls with each other and said that they must contact him frequently.

After completing this matter, Chu Zhongtian left. The person in charge of Nike Greater China has come to the door. He was entrusted by Nike President to talk to Chu Zhongtian about the cooperation in developing a sub-brand. After research and analysis, Chu Zhongtian's business team recognized this cooperation intention and believed that developing a sub-brand was beneficial to Chu Zhongtian and could give full play to his personal image. Now the two sides are about to enter the sub-brand stage.

Although Chu Zhongtian did not participate in the World Cup this summer, he was even busier than those players who participated in the World Cup. He was invited to participate in various online programs, TV stations and radio stations, interviewed by the media, participated in various commercial activities, and conducted various commercial negotiations. Of course, he and Emily did not forget their assistance in building Beichuan's school in the earthquake-stricken area. After two years of construction, this brand new school has risen in the new Beichuan County. As investors and the school's controlling shareholder, he and Emily cut the ribbon for the new school. This is a private school, incorporated into the name of "Zhongtian Cultural Development Co., Ltd.", and are considered a subsidiary of its subsidiary. Looking at the three standardized football fields and five indoor football fields, Chu Zhongtian was very satisfied and happy.

In addition, they also helped build a school there during the Yushu earthquake in Qinghai.

And because he flew back and forth in China during this period, he even snatched part of the World Cup. The World Cup has begun, and the media is still full of news about Chu Zhongtian and Emily's trip in China.

※※After the trip to China, Chu Zhongtian and Emily flew to the United States together. Wherever they were naturally a business event and social engagement. But the most important thing was actually to return to Emily’s former home. Since the wedding, Emily’s relationship with her mother has improved, which made Chu Zhongtian very pleased. Although Miranda still had a bad face when she saw Chu Zhongtian, Chu Zhongtian didn’t care.

This honeymoon actually doesn't have much time to really belong to two people. But there is no way. Who told Chu Zhongtian to have plenty of time only at this time? When the season begins, he will not get out of here. If you want to talk about anything, you can only come to Sinsheim to talk to him.

How busy is he?

Even the club came to him to discuss the contract renewal, he postponed it again and again - he really didn't have time. Anyway, he still had two years of contract with the club, so how can he renew the contract now?

However, the club is really anxious. Seeing Chu Zhongtian's performance getting better and better, Rangnick became more and more worried that Chu Zhongtian would be snatched away by other clubs. He knew that Chu Zhongtian was very rich and could even buy a small club. The opponent could not use money to seduce him. But there are too many wealthy clubs that can attract Chu Zhongtian compared to Hoffenheim. Especially after personal contact over these two seasons, he knew that Chu Zhongtian was a player with great ambitions and clear goals and ambitiousness. Such people do not value money, but they are interested in many things that are not money, such as status, reputation, and honor... He cannot predict what Hoffenheim will eventually achieve next season, so he is not sure whether Hoffenheim has the capital to keep Chu Zhongtian compared to those wealthy families.

So what is the safest way? Of course, it is to sign a new contract and extend the time of his time for two more seasons. Rangnick didn't think that he could play for Hoffenheim for the rest of his life. All he could do was to try to let him play for the team for a few more years and devote the most golden period of his career to the team.

He believes that he will give himself two more years. After such a team with Chu Zhongtian as the core matures, he will definitely be able to attack the top honors of European clubs!

Chu Zhongtian pushed and pushed, and he was a little confused about whether Chu Zhongtian was really busy or was in contact with other clubs, so he postponed the contract renewal negotiations... Anyway, as soon as the season ended, there were many rumors about Chu Zhongtian's transfer in the media. Moreover, he was involved in him and was a super rich family.

Even Bayern Munich was a little moved. After they lost to Inter Milan in the Champions League final, Beckenbauer believed that the team lacked a core that could turn the tide and stabilize the situation. He did not directly say who this core should be, but then he praised Chu Zhongtian's performance at Hoffenheim, believing that although Hoffenheim did not go further, it had nothing to do with Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian's performance was already outstanding enough, but Hoffenheim was still a little tender.

Although Beckenbauer is no longer the chairman of Bayern Munich, he has always been able to exert influence on Bayern Munich, which is a bit like Cruyff to Barcelona. After so many years of retirement, the two old opponents on the court have competed in this way at the club level.

Now, there is an average of rumor about Chu Zhongtian’s transfer in three days in European media.

Although the World Cup is underway and most transfer rumors are low-key, Chu Zhongtian is different. His performance has been recognized by everyone. After leading Hoffenheim to defeat Manchester United and Inter Milan in the European Champions League, he has fully demonstrated his ability. He has been proven to gain a foothold in any top giant.

But what Chu Zhongtian wants is not just a simple foothold. If he wants to go, he must be the absolute core of that team. This has made many giants unable to satisfy him - Barcelona has Xavi, Inter Milan has Sneider, Liverpool has Gerrard, Arsenal has Fabregas... Real Madrid, which has been in chaos since Zidane retired, now has Alonso.

※※ Speaking of the World Cup, this World Cup made Chu Zhongtian bored. The strong teams performed poorly, the stars performed poorly, and the veteran strong teams were all dismissed. The "big dramas" off the court are much more exciting than the ones on the court... When he was sitting in front of the TV to watch the game, he would sometimes have such an idea - if the Chinese team could enter this World Cup, he should have many opportunities to perform, right? Show his abilities and talents on a stage like the world cup, and scored the first goal in the World Cup in the history of Chinese football... What a wonderful thing that would be!

But such thoughts often only appear for a moment and are denied by him. The more you explore the domestic football team, the more you are, the more you are terrified. The entire Chinese football has rotted from the root, and the World Cup is too far away from them. He is already prepared. He will never have the chance to participate in the World Cup as a player in his life, just like Wales' number one star Giggs. He is now considered the number one star in China, right?

The current national team's mission is the 15th Asian Cup held in Qatar in January next year. The best result of Chinese football in the Asian Cup is the two runner-ups. This time, Chu Zhongtian shouldered a heavy burden and was highly expected, hoping that under his leadership, the Chinese team can complete a breakthrough in the championship zero.

If he can't participate in the World Cup, he still has to play well in the Asian Cup. This will be the first time he has participated in such an important intercontinental competition as the captain and core of the team. He doesn't want the final result to be unsatisfactory. He is ambitious and wants to win the first national team championship - he has never participated in the Olympics and Asian Games. He missed the championship in the semi-finals of East Asia, let alone the World Cup, which is a foolish dream. After all, only the Asian Cup is the most reliable.

※※※After having a busy holiday, Chu Zhongtian received a call from Rangnick at the end of June and asked him to return to the team.

Chu Zhongtian was a little surprised by this news. Logically speaking, shouldn’t the players return to the team only in early July? When did it change to late June?

"Uh, you are actually the only one, Chu..." Rangnick said.

Chu Zhongtian was even more strange.

"Did you forget your other identity, Chu?" Rannick reminded him. "You are a member of our coaching team. The coaches all return to the team to report to work at this time..."

Chu Zhongtian suddenly realized and patted his forehead. "Ah, that's it... OK, I'll be back soon..."

Without saying a word, Chu Zhongtian took Emily back to Sinsheim from the United States. Emily's indefinite retirement in the film continues. She seems to plan to regard the movie "Zhongtian Culture" as her comeback. Her external conditions allow her to be able to play herself eight years ago. Because of the good maintenance and natural beauty, she was not much different from her eight years later. She was not old enough. In addition, she would definitely have to put on makeup when filming movies, so it is impossible to find fault in appearance. What she needs to adjust now is her mentality, and she must return from a big star to a young girl.

So after the season starts, she will have to live in Wimbledon for a short time and find that feeling again.

Chu Zhongtian returned to Sinsheim and found that there was indeed a reason for letting him come back. The team needs to be established with him as the core, so we need to listen to his core opinions, especially when it comes to buying people, the club can't buy people as soon as they meet. They must buy those players who can adapt to the team's tactics when they come and don't need too many running-in periods.

Rangnick wanted to hear any good suggestions for Chu Zhongtian in this regard. Last summer, when he recommended Sana, it was very suitable. Rangnick tasted the sweetness and hoped that Chu Zhongtian would give him some good ideas.
