Manchester!
January 30, 2007, a day recorded in football history, the incident of Ye Wei, who has always been concerned about, went to Manchester United for a trial training came to fruition.
This result shocked the media around the world, and it dominated the headlines of entertainment and sports pages. This result made "Manchester United", "What is Manchester United", "Premier League" and other football-related words appear on Google's hot searches in the United States? This is the news that David Beckham confirmed to join the Los Angeles Galaxy next season a few days ago.
This result was reported by news programs on all TV stations, studied by ESPN hosts, discussed by news talk shows such as "The Daily Show" and "Ellen Show", and was exclaimed on Facebook, Twitter and other social networks. and wailing sounds.
This is one of the most amazing celebrity career changes in history, a bit like Michael Jordan from basketball to baseball, Mickey Rourke from the screen to boxing, Reagan from actor to presidentbut it's not a singer or model who crosses over into acting. Going to do business is not a celebrity challenge at the NBA All-Star Weekend, nor is it a tennis celebrity charity match.
"Oh my God!" This is the common cry of countless movie fans and football fans.
The Premier League club Manchester United announced the signing of free agent Ye Wei on a contract that runs until June this year. The weekly salary is only 1,000 pounds, but Manchester United's income from selling Ye Wei's jerseys, organizing warm-up matches and other commercial activities in which he appeared , to give Ye Wei 40% of the profits.
This contract breaks the previous concept of the club's overall image rights. In today's international football, players cannot get these incomes. Even players like AC Milan's Inzaghi who sold 50% of their image rights have never received it. Money spent on warm-up matches. But on the other hand, there is low weekly salary, no guarantee, and no superstar benefits such as luxury hotel suites or private jets.
The rarest "superstar contract" in football history is born!
Before the media and the public could question whether this was a money-making business show organized by Ye Wei and Manchester United, Ye Wei issued a post announcing that all his income from Manchester United, except for his weekly salary, would be donated to World Vision and other non-profit charities that help children. , the reason for getting salary is to rent a house in Carrington.
¡°I sincerely hope that while fulfilling my dream, I can help more people in need.¡±
What a great young man, I have nothing to say now
Fans of the movie couldn¡¯t help but praise her. Ye Wei was really not using charity as a tax avoidance trick, she was actually donating it.
Manchester United also revealed that Ye Wei will wear the No. 37 jersey. This number does not have a long history and glorious tradition. Only Jonathan Greening (1997-1998), John O'Shea (1999-2000) and Danny Webb (2000) -2003), it has been vacant for four years. When Ye Wei wore it, Manchester United¡¯s No. 37 was fixed from then on.
Regarding the labor certification hurdle, Manchester United's spokesperson told the media: "We are already applying for a labor certification for Weige. We will appeal after failure according to the procedures. He is an absolutely special genius! Manchester United hopes that his appeal will be approved quickly. ¡±
Some fans left messages on Manchester United¡¯s official website asking whether Ferguson was crazy for giving Ye Wei his precious special talent clause quota of one per season? As a result, a spokesman for Manchester United explained to the public that the quota limit was just a rumor. The law is that "each player can only appeal once per season." Ye Wei's quota belongs to Ye Wei and does not affect others.
Despite this, many fans in the media lamented, like in China, why didn¡¯t Manchester United appeal for King Dong? Renting it out for exercise? Brother Wei, this treatment! According to the "Sun" report, Wenger was very angry about Manchester United's complaint about Ye Wei's operation. An insider said, "If Ye Wei can pass, then Arsenal has a hundred players to be signed who can pass.
Another news is that regardless of whether the labor certificate can be obtained, Manchester United will not loan Ye Wei out. He will stay in Carrington for training.
Does viy really have the ability to play professional football? This question is questioned all over the world, including hardcore esotericists.
Manchester United released another video of Ye Wei's actual combat during the trial period. In it, he made a long pass from the midfield to the right to assist the striker in counterattacking the goal, which really made the fans??A gasp of air-conditioning, a genius's perspective, a scalpel-like thrust! ESPN also invited Ye Wei to perform a show. With no one guarding him, his speed was amazing and his footwork was superb, which was only higher than FM2007's data.
Amidst the voices of experts saying that this contract will make Manchester United and Ye Wei a win-win situation, countless people have asked Ye Wei on Twitter, "How can I buy your jersey?" They also went to Manchester United's official website in droves to inquire. But a spokesman for the local Manchester United Fans Association lamented: "Manchester United's worst signing is so unfamiliar that we don't recognize it. Such naked business behavior is disgusting. We will never buy Ye Wei's jersey!" "Other fans expressed excitedly, "Ye Wei's joining proves our greatness!"
Fans are divided, movie fans are crying goodbye, and many people have even launched a selfie video activity on YouTube to "ask Ye Wei to make a movie"
The reaction of the whole world is just like the headline of Yahoo Sports: "Ye Wei joins the Premier League team Manchester United! (This is not an April Fools' Day joke)"
But among so many headlines, the most classic one from Sky Sports is: "Dream Theater welcomes talented director Ye Wei!"
Celebrities went "ah-wow" on social media, and Amy Rossum laughed on Twitter: "This is why we love this guy."
Amid this turmoil, Ye Wei accepted an exclusive interview with the New York Times:
"New York Times": Everyone is frightened by your contract with the Premier League team Manchester United. What is going on?
Ye Wei: People have a stereotype that if you can¡¯t do anything, you go to practice sports. If you can¡¯t even do physical work well, you go to create art. This is not the case, and sports and acting have never been too far apart. I can count a hundred film professionals who have been professional athletes, and I can't count those who have a background in school sports teams. Everyone was surprised simply because this was not the usual order. In fact, Howard Hughes also made airplanes. I just folded a paper airplane.
"New York Times": Now that you are at the peak of your career, you have decided to stop acting. Why? The industry estimates that your salary has reached 30 million US dollars?
Ye Wei: There is room for negotiation. Not everything is about money, not mine. I am really lucky. The wealth I have accumulated in the past few years has given me more choices. Rather than making endless money, I want to do something that is truly interesting, passionate and challenging. So I did that. But my love for movies is everlasting, I just leave for a while and I will come back.
"The New York Times": How many commercial factors did Manchester United have to sign you?
Ye Wei: This is like asking you how much filling you can get from eating a dessert. To be honest, Manchester United is not hungry. Even if they are starving to death, they will not use me to satisfy their hunger, but of course I will eat it. The off-field contribution I have brought to the club is obvious. As for the on-field contribution I can bring to the club, it cannot be said. No matter how much I say, it cannot compare to hard training. If I get a chance to play one day, everyone will know about it.
"The New York Times": Tell us specifically about your off-field contributions to Manchester United?
Ye Wei: I would rather talk about what this journey can bring to me. I have met many new friends and seen many new things at the Carrington training base, which are different from the film industry and my previous life circle. , this is so interesting. For example, I successfully organized a "movie night" where a group of our teammates got together to watch a classic movie and tell jokes. I will continue to do this and do my best to contribute to Manchester United. These will also be precious memories. "
"The New York Times": Does Manchester United have any plans for you to play in the game?
Ye Wei: There is no such thing. All I can do is keep working hard every day and hope that my dream will come true soon.
"New York Times": Why choose No. 37? What special meaning does it have?
Ye Wei: When is January 37th? ¡¿
