The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 187 God of the World Cup

It has started to rain in Hengdian in the past two days. It is the kind of heavy rain that may only fall for ten minutes, but it is enough to drench people into a drenched chicken.

And after the rain, there will be a big sun, and the ground will dry up in less than half an hour, which makes people feel very bad.

Not only is it hot, but it's also humid, and it's easy to sweat profusely and get sticky.

Hao Lei has been in a bad mood for the past two days, and the dress he spent a lot of money on rent turned out to be useless.

If she knew this, she would just wear a skirt.

"Director, did you deliberately not go to Magnolia, did you already know that this time the grand prize was given to foreigners?"

She came back from Shanghai very depressed.

I thought I could promote the new drama and gain some popularity by the way.

But I didn't expect that the awards that night were all given to foreign TV dramas. After the awards show, there would be a celebration dinner. Many bigwigs in the domestic entertainment industry did not go there.

Hao Lei was puzzled at the time, but she quickly sensed that the atmosphere at the scene was not right, she didn't even conduct the interview, and left in a hurry with Shi Xiaolong.

At this time, seeing Li Shengyao happily filming, thinking of what Li Shengyao said before, and thinking about the relationship between Li Shengyao and Shanghai Satellite TV, she felt that Li Shengyao must know something inside, so she couldn't help asking.

Li Shengyao shook his head, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just too busy with the crew, otherwise, I would definitely support Magnolia."

Hao Lei curled his lips, but he couldn't refute. He was indeed on the set these two days.

Li Shengyao continued: "Recently, don't accept interviews with reporters casually, or if you say something wrong, then I won't be able to protect you."

"understood."

Li Shengyao was mysterious, but Hao Lei knew it was right.

Recently, a lot of media have been eccentric about Magnolia, but Magnolia is also a TV drama award jointly organized by Shanghai City and Radio and Television. She lowered her profile a little, and the stars in the entertainment industry still have to go by.

The media can be yin and yang, but artists can't.

Of course, don't close your eyes and brag, or you won't be able to force yourself.

Hao Lei plans to go in and out with the crew in the near future and ignore those entertainment reporters outside.

……

A week later, the little chaos caused by Magnolia finally passed. At this time, no matter what kind of journalists or media platforms in China, they were all attracted by the World Cup.

This is the first time for the national football team to participate in this world-class football event. It can be said that the whole country is a sensation. It is said that many units and schools plan to have a holiday so that more people can enjoy this football feast.

Many celebrities and entertainers have expressed that they are fans, and they have liked watching football since they were young.

Li Shengyao was a fan in his previous life. He liked Milan when he was in high school, but he couldn't keep up with him when he got older.

And the team that runs through his entire fan career is naturally the national football team.

From 02 until he crossed over, he has watched all the national football World Cup qualifiers, the top ten matches, and the top twelve matches.

Regarding the results of the National Football World Cup, he drank two bottles of liquor, and he could accurately describe the state of drunkenness.

So June came, and before the first match of the national football team, Li Shengyao took out 2000 yuan and asked his assistant to buy football lottery.

"Buy me a single game score, the national football team 2:0 Costa Rica, the national football team 0:2 Costa Rica, buy 1000 yuan each."

The national football team is naturally the least optimistic team at this time. The national football team is 2:0 Costa Rica, and the odds can be seven or eight times higher.

As for Costa Rica's 2:0 national football team, the odds are about three or four times.

Li Shengyao bet 1000 yuan, and if he wins, he can win three or four thousand.

Three to 4000 yuan is enough for the crew to have cold drinks and iced watermelons for a day.

At this time, the weather in Hengdian was hot, and the actors and field workers were quite tired. Li Shengyao planned to use this method to divert attention and let everyone relax.

When the field workers heard the words, they shouted, "Director, you don't understand football now. Our national football team is quite strong. I think it's 2:1 Costa Rica."

"Director, just buy the National Football Team 2-0 Costa Rica, that's a little Guo Jia, not as large as Shanghai's population, so don't give away money."

"Director, I have been a fan for 30 years, follow me to buy, I guarantee you will double it."

The national football team has no previous World Cup experience, and most other countries look down on the national football team.

However, the domestic fans and media are still very confident. Many people estimated the scores of the three games, a small loss to Bassi, a small victory to Tuji, and a big victory to Costa Rica. In the end, they won two wins and one loss.

Li Shengyao heard that, although he knew that the big guy was wishful thinking, he was still very happy.

At this time, the national football team is very popular with everyone.

Hao Lei has been observing Li Shengyao, seeing him using such means to enliven the atmosphere, he secretly took note of it.

Three days later, the first game of the National Football World Cup, the national football team 0:2 Costa Rica.

The football lottery that Lee Shengyao bought won more than 3000.

He asked his assistant to buy a whole refrigerator full of cold drinks, as well as dozens of iced watermelons, "Eat whatever you want."

The crowd cheered and were excited.

In the hot summer, the actors and crew in Hengdian are all listless, but the crew of "Da Shang Palace" is completely different, chatting while eating watermelon.

Under the surprised eyes of many people, Li Shengyao took out 2000 yuan and handed it to the assistant.

"Buy me a football lottery, the national football team 0:4 Brazil, buy 2000 yuan."

The assistant took the money and left cheerfully.

Many field workers shook their heads, thinking that Li Shengyao didn't understand football.

"Director, it's not like 0:2 Costa Rica, then it will be 0:4 Brazil. The national football team has no experience at the beginning. In the second game, it will be an iron bucket formation. If you are lucky, it will be 0:0. If you are not lucky, it will be 0:1: [-], it is impossible to lose that much."

This is the thinking of the vast majority of domestic fans.

Li Shengyao smiled and didn't say much.

The national football team had zero to four Brazil, and the odds were a little higher, a full six times. If he won, he could buy cold drinks and iced watermelons for a few days.

Another three days later, the match between the national football team and Brazil was over, and it was really 0:4 by the national football team in Brazil.

Li Shengyao asked his assistant to spend [-] a day to buy iced watermelon for cold drinks, and then said with a smile, "Open it up and eat it."

The field workers cheered again, admiring Li Shengyao's prediction.

"Director, old fans."

"Director, how to buy the next game, take me with you."

"Director, can I suppress the real estate certificate?"

Li Shengyao curled his lips, "Of course not, don't dream, gambling has no future, I'm just joking, if I really hit every shot, I'll be a director, just buy balls and make a fortune."

He was just playing around and motivating the cast and crew in the summer.

It is naturally impossible for him to lead others to play together, and he himself will not bet too high.

If he is a great director, he is not qualified to gamble.

But Hao Lei still didn't believe it. After the filming ended, she looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. She whispered to Li Shengyao, "Director, you know my dream. Help me. What is the score between the national football team and the native chicken tomorrow?" ?”

Li Shengyao shook his head, "Get out, if you want to make money, you have to act well, then you will be as popular as Zhao Yang, don't think about any crooked ways."
