I just wanted to play football, but I became a Hollywood god

Chapter 316 The show has begun!Rick, the Ouchi general manager, is desperate!
ten minutes later.

Gu Ran drove back to his dune villa.

The biggest realization today is that shooting commercials is much more tiring than training and competing.

Especially shooting commercials with beautiful female stars.

Fortunately, I am a decent person, otherwise I would really be eaten up by Abi.

Fortunately, this incident has finally passed.

As for the future, I will try my best to refuse to shoot commercials. If I really can’t refuse, I will also avoid Abi.

It's better to go home, Aomei is also good enough, not flirtatious.

As soon as Gu Ran opened the door, he saw Elizabeth wrapped in a short bath towel, sitting on the sofa eating popcorn and watching the popular "Spartacus".

Gu Ran: ...

No need to tease, but Elizabeth is much more lethal than Abby!

Gu Ran can stand up to the coquettish Abby, but he really can't stand up to the innocent Scarlet Witch!
Gu Ran couldn't help but swallowed and looked at the bath towel. He almost didn't notice that there was a bubble of talent points generated by accumulated negative emotions at Elizabeth's feet.

"Gu, come back!"

Elizabeth quickly froze the TV screen, then happily jumped off the sofa to greet Gu Ran.

The bath towel jumped with Elizabeth's beating, and Gu Ran couldn't help worrying whether it would collapse.

If it collapses, should you watch it or not?
If you watch it, will it look like you are not serious?
But if he is unbearable, will he appear to be a prude?

The young body that had been touched by Abi before had not yet calmed down, but now it began to agitate again.

What a crime!
Tomorrow is my first starting game. Why is it such a big test for me at night?

——However, the bath towel did not fall apart.

Elizabeth looked at Gu Ran like a little fan girl, "Gu, you have to play the game tomorrow, right? You come back so late, you must be practicing hard, right? Come on! Do you want me to give you a massage to relax?"

Gu Ran cleared his throat quickly, "No...I mean, no need, I'm a little tired and want to go to bed early."

Good guy, I just escaped from Abi's clutches, and now my young body really can't withstand any storm.

"Oh..." Elizabeth's face was full of visible disappointment.

Gu Ran took out a ticket for the women's team of St. Mary's Stadium from his pocket and handed it to Elizabeth, "Tomorrow's game is at 3 pm. I will start. Remember to go and watch."

"Wow! That's great!" Elizabeth stretched out her hand to pick it up in surprise.

Gu Ran also took the opportunity to gather his thoughts and picked up Elizabeth's talent point bubble.

In this way, Gu Ran's talent points have reached 8 again. He will definitely have no problem in crushing Torquay United as a starter tomorrow!
After exchanging good night with Elizabeth, Gu Ran had a simple bite to eat, and then went back to his master bedroom after some ice and fire physical therapy.

After tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, Gu Ran finally forced himself to fall asleep.

Early the next morning.

Gu Ran was woken up by himself on time.

Young bodies are sending strong signals.

Alas, there is no way I can live this day...

After a simple wash, Gu Ran drove to Staplewood Training Base.

When the Cayenne drove to the entrance of the training base, the guard Kenny put down the newspaper in his hand and greeted Gu Ran enthusiastically:
"Hey, Gu! You came so early on game day! Did you... have a good rest last night?"

"It's okay, Kenny, thank you for your concern. I'm going to start today, so come here early to warm up."

"Tsk, tsk, if all the players in the club were like you, then our Southampton team could compete for first place every year!"

"Haha." Gu Ran smiled, stepped on the accelerator lightly, and drove into the parking lot.

Kenny nodded in admiration, picked up the "Sun" in his hand again, and continued to browse the news titled "Another gossip: Gao's fiancée Abby's fiery private meeting with saint supernova Gu Ran"...

After Gu Ran parked the car, he went to the locker room to change his jersey and warm up in advance.

After Gu Ran warmed up for an hour, other players finally arrived.

Gu Ran went to the restaurant to have a specially made nutritious breakfast, then took a short rest, then gathered with his teammates, and under the leadership of captain Davis, the team warmed up.

Because today is a competition day, everyone took their time during the warm-up to preserve their physical fitness.

But even so, Gu Ran's outstanding competitive state is still far superior to other teammates.

Gu Ran himself was very satisfied with his condition today.

Long-term hard work will definitely pay off.

Fortunately, I am really a serious person and did not accompany Abi upstairs to play Landlords for two people last night.

The training in the morning is mainly about high pressure, and the focus is on practicing the compactness of the formations of the starting players.

Whether it's attacking or pressing, Gu Ran's movement is very good.

Head coach Adkins, who was directing the training from the sidelines, also nodded frequently at Gu Ran's performance in training.

Coach Adkins also had a hint of inspiration because of this, and began to conceive a new tactical move for Gu Ran in his mind...

Haldin and his younger brothers were also watching the training off the court.

Gu Ran won the starting left back position, so Haldin, the former regular left back, could only sit on the bench.

Haldin's younger brother Tafazzoli couldn't help but admired in a low voice: "Gu Ran is really strong..."

The muscles on Haldin's face twitched slightly, "Huh, within today, I will ruin his reputation!"

Tafazzoli asked in surprise: "Boss, what are you going to do?"

Haldin said coldly: "Don't ask. I found that if I take you to do something together, it will never succeed. In short, you can just wait and watch the excitement."

After saying that, Haldin sneered meaningfully at Gu Ran, who was actively running on the field.

Although the training intensity in the morning was not high, the starting players had a good understanding of the high-pressing formation.

After all, they are all professional players.

This kind of tactical comprehension and execution ability basically does not exist in China.

After the high-pressing formation drill, Coach Adkins asked everyone to relax and rest early to reserve physical strength.

After having lunch at the training base, the players still have about an hour to rest. After 1:1 pm, they will take the team bus to St. Mary's Stadium.

Just as Gu Ran finished eating Loina's carefully prepared nutritious lunch and was about to take a nap, personal affairs assistant Rick hurried over.

"Hey Gu, there's something unexpected and difficult," Rick said straightforwardly without beating around the bush: "I just received a call from the commercial director, saying that he needs to reshoot a scene of you alone."

Gu Ran frowned immediately, "Reshoot? Wasn't he very satisfied with the filming yesterday?"

Rick said helplessly: "That's what I said, but he insisted on shooting another scene, and he was very urgent. He asked to shoot it now. If we can't shoot it today, it will be considered as our breach of contract."

Gu Ran said displeased: "Don't he know I'm going to compete today? Rick, how did you communicate?"

Rick smiled bitterly and said: "I'm really sorry, Gu. Although I shouldn't shirk responsibility, this should actually be the responsibility of the agent. I just help spread the word and do some peripheral chores."

Gu Ran pursed his lips.

This kind of thing really shouldn't be caught on the personal assistant's part.

Mainly due to my lack of experience in shooting advertisements, I didn’t expect that a print advertisement would be so troublesome.

Alas, being a star is really troublesome. You can’t just let me play football quietly!

Gu Ran said in a deep voice: "Tell the director for me that if you want to shoot, you can wait until I finish the competition. Otherwise, let him file a lawsuit against me. I will just answer the lawsuit."

Rick quickly said: "Gu, we can't do this. The advertiser this time is our own sponsor Umbro. We can't go to court with our sponsor. I have already negotiated with the advertising director. He said We can set up a temporary shooting in a warehouse nearby, only take one shot, and the total will not take more than half an hour. He promised that if you go, you only need to take one photo."

The other party is a sponsor, and if the delay is only half an hour...

Gu Ran faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Abby is going?"

"Oh, I asked. She won't go. It's just for you to take a photo alone."

"Oh..." Gu Ran felt a little relieved.

Rick said hurriedly: "Gu, if we set off now, we will definitely have plenty of time. To say the least, even if we can't return to the training base, we can drive directly to St. Mary's Stadium - we can't delay any more. The longer we delay, the tighter our time will be."

Gu Ran then said: "Okay, I'll go talk to Coach Adkins first."

If you leave the team before the game, you must report it to the head coach.

Gu Ran and Rick quickly found Coach Adkins who was studying the tactical chart.

Gu Ran briefly explained his purpose.

Coach Adkins frowned after hearing this, "This Umbro commercial director... is an idiot, right?"

Rick said: "Mr. Coach, now is not the time to scold him. I think it is better to let Gu Ran go as soon as possible. After all, this is Gu Ran's first advertisement. Everyone in the club hopes that Gu Ran's commercial value will be improved." Perfectly embodied.”

When it comes to the club's commercial interests, Coach Adkins can no longer stop him.

After all, the operating conditions of the Southampton club are still very poor, and engaging in commercial interests is also a serious matter.

"Okay, Rick, you have to stay with Gu Ran and not let Gu Ran suffer any accidents. After you finish shooting, you don't have to go back to the training base. You can just drive directly to St. Mary's Stadium to meet us."

"But!" Coach Adkins said seriously: "You must not be late for a commercial! Gu, your main job is to play football. Don't forget this in your life."

"Yes, coach." Gu Ran nodded vigorously.

"Okay, Mr. Coach! Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Gu." Rick was relieved and pulled Gu Ran and said, "Gu, let's leave quickly." "Yeah."

Today's lunch break was wasted.

On the day of the professional competition, such an accident really made Gu Ran a little annoyed.

But this is the real world.

Even if you only want to play football, the real world is full of complex variables.

Many things seem simple, sound simple, and simple to say, but when they are on the scene, they are often defeated by reality.

Finding a professional agent must be put on the schedule as soon as possible...

Gu Ran packed his belongings, put on his sports backpack, and drove Rick to the abandoned warehouse agreed with the director.

Seeing Gu Ran leave, Tafazzoli couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Why did Gu Ran leave so early?"

Haldin sneered, and a trace of success flashed in his sinister eyes: "Good show, let's begin!"

Gu Ran drove quickly according to the navigation, and the road became more and more eccentric and difficult to walk. Gu Ran felt more and more wrong in his heart.

About 15 minutes later, the Cayenne stopped in front of an abandoned steel manufacturing factory warehouse.

A section of road in front of the abandoned warehouse is no longer accessible by car, so you can only walk.

There are few people here, and even basic mobile phone signals are weak.

Gu Ran frowned while walking and asked, "Why do you want to shoot in this kind of place?"

"Maybe..." Rick was also puzzled, but he still guessed: "Maybe it's to highlight the shooting style of the wasteland industry? Isn't this wasteland style popular now?"

Gu Ran said with a cold face: "Forget it, finish filming early and leave early - don't let me accept any commercials this season."

"Okay, okay." Rick added, "By the way, Gu, when you leave later, don't forget to take me with you."

Good guy, the location of this abandoned warehouse is much farther than the Umbro studio last time, not to mention the bus, even a taxi can't be summoned.

Gu Ran and Rick stepped on the abandoned construction debris and walked into the abandoned warehouse one foot deep and one foot shallow.

This warehouse is very large and empty. There are only a few huge rusty steel bars scattered inside, and the only ventilation window is more than four meters above the ground.

Other than that, there was no filming equipment, let alone human figures, in the warehouse.

Gu Ran frowned and looked around, "Yes, where are they?"

Rick said in confusion: "The director said on the phone before that they have already arranged it in advance and are waiting for us to arrive...Did we find the wrong warehouse? The location given by the navigation is here."

Gu Ran's brows moved, "...No! Let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before he could turn around, he heard the big iron door of the warehouse slamming shut!
Immediately afterwards, the sound of chains being locked came from outside!
broken!Gu Ran's heart skipped a beat.

By the time he strode to the door, it was already too late.

The door of the warehouse has been locked from the outside, and only a few figures can barely be seen running away from the crack of the door.

Grass!
What the hell, you actually used this kind of dirty trick on me!
Gu Ran's heart instantly exploded with anger!

Rick was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, "What's going on here? Hey! Who is outside? Don't make such a joke!"

Gu Ran calmly shouted: "It's useless, stop shouting, Rick. This is not a joke at all, someone is clearly trying to mess with me."

Rick said in horror: "Who! How dare they?!"

Gu Ran sneered and said, "Who else could it be? Just think about it with your toes. Once I'm locked here, who will benefit the most?"

Rick took a deep breath, "You mean... Haldin?! God! He, he can't do it?"

Gu Ran said coldly: "I didn't think it would be so, but now it seems that I still think of you too kindly. If I can't go out and miss the first start, some media will definitely say that I have drifted." , saying that I wanted to transfer, so I deliberately did not cooperate with the coach’s tactical arrangements and deliberately did not appear in the game.”

"When the fans who don't know the truth are incited and think that I really want to blackmail the transfer, the fans will scold me without asking the truth, and the club will be forced to suspend me. If my heart is more fragile, , it is very likely that he will fail, become a substitute, perform abnormally, or even hastily transfer to a lower league."

"Hardin, it's not just that I can't play this game."

"He was trying to ruin my entire football career."

After saying that, Gu Ran stared at Rick coldly.

Rick suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, "Gu...this, this, this is all my fault! I was also fooled! The other party called me and claimed to be the commercial director last night, and I, I, I believed it! But Gu, you have to believe me, I am your personal assistant, and I am proud of you! I will never do anything to betray you or frame you! I dare to swear on my daughter’s life! Haldin and I are definitely not the same They are in a group! Now, I can’t wait to kill that bastard!”

Gu Ran's sharp eyes softened slightly.

Although he couldn't believe Rick [-]%, Gu Ran was almost certain that Rick had nothing to do with the matter. At most, Rick was not careful enough in his work.

Having said that, Haldin's dirty trick this time is completely different from the previous petty fights. This time it has risen to a professional level. It is likely that he hired a professional framing team to do the job. Rick was unprepared. It's really hard not to fall for it when you're in a bad mood.

Not to mention Rick, wouldn't even a smart person like himself fall for this trick?

People with good nature can never imagine how bottomless those insidious villains are.

Oh, professional team...

What the hell, I just want to play football quietly, but you guys are exaggerating like a Hollywood spy movie!
Haldin, you are really thoughtful!
Gu Ran smiled coldly in his heart, and then said in a deep voice: "Rick, we will discuss your problem later. The top priority now is to get out of here as soon as possible."

"That's right!" Rick tremblingly took out his cell phone and dialed the emergency number.

However, there was no signal at all in the warehouse and the phone could not be made at all.

Gu Ran also took out his mobile phone and changed its location several times, but was unable to make a call for help.

Rick was so anxious that he tugged at the iron door like crazy, "Someone! Let us out! I'll give you whatever money you want! Someone! Please!"

However, there was no response from outside.

It was about Gu Ran's career. Rick was really anxious. If he couldn't pull the iron door open, he would kick it. If he couldn't kick it, he would hit his head with it——

Gu Ran stopped the panicked Rick, "Okay, don't waste your head. The other party is prepared. This door obviously cannot be opened. We have to find another way."

Rick shed tears in despair, "I'm sorry, Gu, it was me who hurt you. I have been an assistant for so many years, and I never thought that I would encounter such an insidious thing! A teammate on the same team actually used such an insidious trick against him. Man! This is really... so hateful! After we get out, I must report to old Les! Clean out the black sheep in the team!"

lights~
Rick drops a blue skill bubble.

It's a pity that Rick is not a star, otherwise, his negative emotion value will definitely generate red talent points this time.

Gu Ran gathered his thoughts and glanced:
+1 for working out your career skills while taking a break from your busy schedule.

Gu Ran: ...

Rick, Rick, I didn’t expect you to be such a big boss.

Gu Ran just ignored it.

Gu Ran had no time to appease Rick's depression and despair, but continued to calmly observe and analyze the useful things in the abandoned warehouse.

The more desperate the situation, the more Gu Ran was able to remain calm and rational.

This is also one of his own buffs as a reborn.

After careful observation, only the skylight four meters above the ground can be used as a breakthrough to escape.

However, the height of four meters is impossible for normal people to reach without a springboard.

Taking NBA stars as an example, Kobe Bryant is a star with strong vertical jump and run-up reach. Kobe is 201cm tall, has a vertical jump of 103cm, and a run-up reach of 385cm.

Dwight Howard and Vince Carter, who have the highest run-up touch, can touch the top edge of the backboard, which is a height of 395cm.

The height of the skylight must be more than four meters.

Of course, unlike NBA stars who reach heights, Gu Ran can also use inertia to climb with his arms.

So in theory, it can be tried.

Gu Ran took a deep breath, stepped back a few meters, and then made a run-up with all his strength, using his inertia to climb the wall with his hands and feet——

After two steps on the wall, a large piece of the wall peeled off, and Gu Ran missed the window sill by an arm's length.

Not so far.

After rebirth, if you choose basketball as your main career, this will definitely not be a problem.

But Gu Ran is a football player.

Rick on the side suddenly became more desperate when he saw that Gu Ran failed.

Gu Ran did not give up, he extended the distance of his approach, started a sprint burst, and used the core strength of his upper waist and abdomen to try again!
This time, he still couldn't reach the windowsill, but it was only half an arm's length away.

Gu Ran frowned slightly.

Although he has not fully activated his sprint speed and explosive skills, looking at it this way, even if his skills are fully activated, it will be difficult to grab the window sill.

You have to find a place to leverage.

Gu Ran looked back at Rick, who looked desperate, and said solemnly: "Rick, are you willing to do anything for me?"

Rick immediately said firmly: "Yes! Gu! I am willing to do anything for you!"

"Very well, come here and get down."

Rick's fat body trembled slightly, "Gu, you...you don't want to...punish me, right? I know I made a mistake, and I'm really sorry. I did say I would do anything for you just now." Do anything, and I know you need to vent your anger, but... we are all adults after all, don't do this..."

"Stop talking! Get down!"

Gu Ran forced Rick to the ground:
"It's probably going to hurt a lot."

"Be patient."
