    "Hey, Jonathan, do you have time? Come to the VIP box at Wembley Stadium, and I'll introduce someone to you." Two days before the League Cup final, Ye Qiu called Jonathan Wilson.  , Jonathan Wilson was writing his own column at the time, so he smiled and asked, "You don't want me to say more good things for you in the column, do you? You know, many people nowadays don't  I¡¯m optimistic about you.¡± Indeed, Tottenham Hotspur¡¯s state has not been very good in the past half month, but their fame and influence are there.  "Please, believe it or not, I will take down your column and turn it into a three-page girl advertisement," Ye Qiu threatened over the phone.  It doesn¡¯t seem to be difficult to get Jonathan Wilson¡¯s column, for example, just buy the entire advertisement on the page he occupies.  "Okay, okay, you rich people just like to mess around like this." Jonathan Wilson admitted defeat with a smile.  ¡°I¡¯ll introduce you to someone, and then I¡¯ll introduce you to a part-time job,¡± Ye Qiu said with a smile on the phone.  When Jonathan Wilson heard this, he shook his head and said, "You know, I'm not short of money." This guy's royalties are enough. He has made a lot of money, so how can he still be short of money?  "Anyway, you'll know when you come, otherwise you will regret it." After saying that, Ye Qiu hung up the phone.  As a result, there was no news at all. It was not until the day of the League Cup final that Ye Qiu asked the club staff to call Jonathan Wilson again, telling him the number of the box and asking him to go directly to the box. Peter  Nien and Ron Gurley will be waiting for him there.  This has always made Jonathan Wilson curious. Who is it that he wants to introduce to him, and he is actually accompanied by two powerful people from Tottenham Hotspur? Of course, this may be more because of the League Cup final.  for the sake of.  With such doubts, Jonathan Wilson arrived at Wembley Stadium and went to the box with familiarity. After knocking on the door, the person who opened the door was Tottenham Hotspur's head of press department, old friend Robert Milson.  .  "Hey, Jonathan, you're late." Milson smiled and pulled Jonathan Wilson in.  "Traffic jam" Jonathan Wilson used a time-worn excuse.  After entering this box, Jonathan Wilson was a little surprised, because he originally thought that this box should be quite empty, but he did not expect that the entire box was almost full of people, and many people were sitting in the seats, facing  He walked onto the court and turned his back to Jonathan Wilson who came through the door.  Except for Peter Nien and Ron Gurley, no one else, including Jonathan Wilson, could see clearly who it was. He only saw a back figure and even a head. Who knew who that was?  "Let me introduce to you." Robert Milson brought Jonathan Wilson to the seat, "The famous Hollywood director Oliver Tong." During Robert Milson's introduction, Jonathan Wilson was surprised to find that,  The man who stood up and turned around was really the famous Hollywood actor Oliver Tone. He is an incredible figure in Hollywood and the world of film. How could he appear here?  Just when Jonathan Wilson was surprised, a person stood up next to him and said with a smile: "Oh, come on, Jonathan, you were shocked when you saw Oliver, right?" He turned his head and said  This is what all Tottenham Hotspur fans around the world are talking about. The famous Hollywood movie star Jude Nodeau is a die-hard Tottenham Hotspur fan. He was at Stratford Stadium.  He has a special business seat of his own, and he must go to every game. Even during the filming of the movie, he has to take time to come back to watch it.  ¡°Also because of Tottenham Hotspur¡¯s relationship and both living in London, Judenault is very familiar with Jonathan Wilson.  "Matt, this is the most famous football reporter in the UK, Jonathan Wilson." Under Judno's introduction, Jonathan Wilson saw another Hollywood movie star, Matt Damon.  ¡°Jonathan Wilson was really confused at this time. He had no idea what was going on. Isn¡¯t this a League Cup final?  Why are so many Hollywood stars suddenly here?  "Hello, Jonathan" Oliver took the initiative to shake hands with Jonathan Wilson, "Nice to meet you. I heard that you are a very good football reporter and analysis expert of football tactics" "Thank you" Jonathan Wilson  Erson responded politely.  ¡°We are planning to make a football movie about Tottenham Hotspur,¡± Olivertong said very straightforwardly.     filming?  Hollywood?  football?  Jonathan Wilson quickly flashed these three words in his mind, but he never thought that these three words could be integrated into one, because in the past many, many years, football has been taboo in Hollywood.  .  Speaking of footballAmong the movies, the most famous one is "One Shot to Fame", but even this movie was actually shot after receiving strong sponsorship from Adidas, and only two movies were made, and the box office was not very good.  , so the third part just didn¡¯t come out.  Arsenal has a very famous novelist and fan named Nick Hornby. He wrote a novel about football called Fever. This novel is favored by many people, such as Johnny Depp, but it is being adapted.  When it was being made into a movie, the 20th Century Fox team changed the sports in it from football to baseball.  Therefore, what Arsenal fans were originally talking about very much was finally discovered. In this movie, football has become baseball, Arsenal has become the Boston Red Sox, and they have nothing to do with them at all.  , so happy for nothing.  Jonathan Wilson once mentioned this to Judno, which is why football doesn't work in Hollywood.  Judno quoted the famous director Ken Loach. The latter is also a British fan, but he is a director in Hollywood. He believes that the narrative style and rhythm of the two are different.  In Hollywood, all movies focus on star power, especially if you want to make a movie that sells well at the box office, you need some big stars, but often big stars have no foundation in football. In this case, how do you make these  Big stars bring various skills on the football field to life in movies. In fact, in the United States, the number of fans is increasing. Even in Hollywood, there are many, many people who like football, especially casual football fans.  With the strong rise of Tottenham Hotspur in recent years, it has attracted the pursuit of countless Hollywood stars. For example, the famous Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron has mentioned more than once that she likes Tottenham Hotspur very much.  Thorn, and head coach Ye Qiu.  There are also many film company executives, famous directors, and big-name actors who are all avid football fans, but they just cannot create excellent football movies, which has caused more and more filmmakers to stay away from football.  "You guys are planning to make a movie based on Tottenham Hotspur?" Jonathan Wilson still couldn't believe it.  Oliver chuckled, and Peter Nian on the side nodded: "Yes, Jonathan, this has been basically confirmed, and including Judno and Matt Damon, they are all willing to join this movie.  Adele is also willing to sing the theme song for this movie and reinterpret Tottenham Hotspur's team anthem and fan songs. "Adele is a world-famous pop female singer, Grammy Best Pop Singer, born in North  London is an absolute loyalist of Tottenham Hotspur, and she and Jude Noe can be seen in the stands in almost every game.  ¡°This is how it started.¡± Robert Milson introduced the story to Jonathan Wilson.  Ye Qiu once used to play Oliver Tong's "Battle Sunday" to encourage and stimulate the players. This incident was spread by the outside media. Later, when Oliver Tong learned about this incident, he also remembered Tottenham Hotspur.  With Ye Qiu's name, especially in recent years, Tottenham Hotspur is at its peak in North America.  During the trip to China with Tottenham Hotspur this summer, Oliver Tong happened to be in China. By chance, he met Ye Qiu, and the two started talking. Ye Qiu smiled and suggested that maybe we should  Make a movie.  "Football is described as a battlefield without gunpowder. A football match is worth hundreds of millions, or even over a billion euros, and attracts the attention of hundreds of millions of people around the world. Such a war can simply be said to be a war."  "A World War" "Those people can't shoot football well because they don't really understand football" It was this time that Oliver Tong was full of interest in the football described by Ye Qiu, so he began to have a concept and often followed Ye Qiu.  Qiu communicated on the Internet and through emails, and the more they talked, the more interested they became. Especially in the past few years, Tottenham Hotspur's legendary journey has so much material that can be filmed that even one movie cannot summarize it.  over.  This time Oliver came to London. In addition to experiencing the League Cup final personally, he also planned to watch the Tottenham Hotspur game live and start preparing a script.  "Using war to shoot football?" Jonathan Wilson was a little surprised.  War movies, in Hollywood movies, almost represent commercial blockbusters.  But Oliver Tong became famous by making war movies. His famous work is the movie "Platoon" that depicts the Vietnam War. He himself is a veteran who has personally experienced the Vietnam War, so he always has a feeling about war that others cannot understand.  .  This is clearly reflected in the "War Sunday" he shot. The emphasis on teamwork and the tacit understanding of putting lives in each other's hands are actually the same as war, isn't it?  ¡°Football is a very subtle sport, with gorgeous individual performances, but at the same time it is also very powerful.??Team fighting is the same as war, but a very important reason why it is difficult to put football on the big screen is that the entire structure of a football game cannot adapt to the requirements of a movie. This is the biggest difference between it and war.  different.  ¡± ¡°So, when shooting a football movie, the most important thing is to strike a balance, capture the essence of football and its most fascinating aspects, reflect the spirit and core of this sport, emphasize its most similar aspects to war, and then through this  This kind of emotional resonance, as well as interesting stories, allow all viewers to understand why football is the greatest sport on the planet." Oliver expressed his feelings about football movies. These are actually the same things he and Ye Qiu did in the movie.  After an in-depth conversation, combined with Ye Qiu¡¯s football professionalism and Oliver Tong¡¯s own understanding of movies, he finally came to the conclusion that if sports movies want to be successful, they cannot be too obsessed with the sport itself.  Instead, it should be integrated into the entire society, turning sports and games into a metaphor, and thus arousing emotional resonance from the audience. In other words, this movie will use a new way and perspective to interpret football.  Oliver Tong has even thought about it. The movie is taken from Ye Qiu¡¯s first season as coach of Tottenham Hotspur. It is the material of a typical sports movie. The movie starts with a tragedy.  It was an incomparable life-and-death battle, but Tottenham Hotspur suffered a tragic defeat and fell into the relegation zone. All the media, reporters and fans were frantically bombarding and criticizing. The team's situation was in danger. Then it returned to the situation just half a year ago when it was taken over.  The team, and everything that happens after that, slowly picks up from the beginning. Finally, after a long period of preparation and preparation, there is another explosion of emotions, games and results in the second half of the movie. This is also the case.  The typical Hollywood commercial film model, as long as it is mastered well, can completely follow the rhythm and narrative pattern of commercial films. After Oliver Tong said this, Jonathan Wilson was a little surprised, "You are not going to make a biography of Tottenham Hotspur."  Movie?  Why does it feel like it's going to be a series?  " Oliver Tong and Peter Toneen burst into laughter after hearing this. The latter said: "If the first movie is a hit, then we will launch a sequel. Can we make at least two or three movies?  " Using Tottenham Hotspur as the material in the past few years, it is indeed possible to make several films. The key depends on the director and screenwriter, as well as the effect of the film and the box office results. "Then you come to me.  Come" Jonathan Wilson was a little confused. "We hope to invite you to serve as technical guidance," Oliver said. The so-called technical guidance actually means giving some details on some football game details or tactical layout.  Professional opinion, Jonathan Wilson is an expert in tactical analysis, and he has watched football for so many years and has a deep understanding of this sport. ¡°Why not invite Ye Qiu?  He is more professional than me." Jonathan Wilson asked strangely. Oliver Tong and Peter Nin looked at each other, both with helpless smiles. Originally, they both thought that Ye Qiu was the most suitable. After all, many of Ye Qiu's creative ideas came from Ye Qiu.  It was discussed with Oliver, but Ye Qiu planned to accompany his wife on a global trip and had no time to participate in this kind of thing, so he recommended Jonathan Wilson. However, Ye Qiu is one of the investors of this movie.  Huangtian Group is already the largest cinema chain owner in China. It has also acquired ANC, the second largest cinema chain in the United States, and has also established a film investment company. With this background, it is already one of the top film investors in China.  , plus the movie tells the story of Tottenham Hotspur and Ye Qiu, with Tottenham Hotspur¡¯s current influence in North America and the world, coupled with Oliver Tong¡¯s directing ability, and Matt  With the market appeal of Damon, Judenault and Tottenham Hotspur stars, I believe this movie is still quite marketable. Jonathan Wilson, Oliver Tong and others are enthusiastic in the VIP box.  While exchanging movie details and ideas, the game on the court was not delayed because they lost their attention. It still started in full swing with the cheers of tens of thousands of fans in the audience.  The first half still did not show the overwhelming strength of the invincible Tottenham Hotspur team in the past. The slightly weaker Tottenham Hotspur used passive scenes to prove why some people thought Tottenham Hotspur before the game.  Spurs were defeated by Pellegrini's Manchester City. Especially in the first twenty minutes, Tottenham played very, very hard. Ye Qiu shouted on the sidelines almost every minute.  He reminded the players to be careful about this and pay attention to that, and he gave instructions very frequently. It was obvious that he was also very dissatisfied with the team's performance. With the league basically guaranteed to win, Ye Qiu obviously hopes to continue to have success in the cup and Champions League.  breakthrough, especiallyEspecially the League Cup, which has reached the final. There is no reason to let such a trophy go to waste, right?  The two strong men, Yaya Toure and De Rossi, teamed up to restrict Tottenham Hotspur's midfield. They performed very well after the opening, especially Yaya Toure, who was full of physical strength in C?te d'Ivoire.  People were very active in this game. Tottenham paid the price for their sluggish state in the 30th minute. Aguero received an assist from Yaya Toure and opened the scoring for Manchester City.  record.  This makes everyone worry about Tottenham Hotspur, because judging from the first half, Tottenham Hotspur continues the team's recent sluggish state. If it is facing a team like Norwich  As a weak team, Tottenham Hotspur can still rely on the strong strength of the team to overwhelm the opponent, but now they are facing Manchester City.  When it comes to the strength of the players and the thickness of the lineup, Manchester City does not lose to Tottenham Hotspur at all, and even surpasses Tottenham Hotspur. Therefore, the outside world does not have much confidence in Tottenham Hotspur in this game.  Very optimistic.  After being scored by Manchester City, Ye Qiu Yujian also gave up walking around the sidelines and pointing fingers. He just stood there with his arms folded, looking coldly at the players on the field.  Players, didn't say a word.  Oddly enough, after being scored by Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur's performance actually improved somewhat, especially after 40 minutes, Tottenham Hotspur had a threatening attack, but  Couldn't score Manchester City's goal, but this is already a very good start.  So Pellegrini became passionate, and he also walked to the sidelines to direct the game. It was obvious that he also felt that the sleeping lion of Tottenham Hotspur had been awakened.
