Chapter 186 Fame with one goal

As soon as Jessica Alba entered the room, she saw her manager Marco Odeske on the phone, and she guessed that Marco Odeske must be calling Danny Cannon.

Jessica Alba blinked, and swallowed what she was about to say. Even though she had already made a decision, she still wanted to save face for Marco Odeske, Marco Odeske. Odeske was not just her manager, but her friend.

When Marco Odeske saw Jessica Alba wink at him, he knew Jessica Alba's decision. He sighed and asked Danny Cannon on the other end of the phone. He made an excuse and hung up the phone.

…………

Marco Odeske put the microphone down, looked at Jessica Alba, raised his eyebrows, "Decided?"

Jessica Alba smiled grinningly, and waved her small fist as an answer.

Marco Odeske shrugged, "Okay, I'll leave the rest to me." Although he objected to Jessica Alba taking the role, as an agent, once his employer decides He has no choice but to maximize the benefits of the things that have been decided as much as possible.

"Marco, I think I will do better than ever in this movie." Jessica Alba said seriously.

Marco Odeske smiled wryly, "I hope so." To be honest, he didn't express any confidence. In Marco Odeske's view, this was just Jessica Alba's willful decision , maybe, after she hit a wall, she will come back and reflect on what she has done during this period of time.

…………

After half an hour, Marco Odeske pressed the callback button and dialed Danny Cannon's private phone number. After the phone rang twice, he was connected, "Hello, Mr. Cannon, I think we have a lot of common topics to discuss." What Marco Odeske has to do now is to start haggling over details such as the weight of Jessica Alba's part in the script and the pay, He has entered the state of an agent.

"That's exactly what I want to say, Mr. Oldsky." On the other end of the phone, Danny Cannon shook the wine glass in his hand, "I think we will have a good cooperation."

"Hopefully!" Marko Odeske said.

…………

The next day, a big piece of news was born. The sports film jointly prepared by American Milkshake Films, Swiss Epsilon Motion Pictures, and Walt Disney Pictures of the United States will invest huge sums of money. Danny Cannon, the director of "Fame", announced at a press conference that Hollywood actress Jessica Alba will join the film and play the leading role in the play.

Danny Cannon also announced that part of the film will be filmed in a city in England that has a Premier League team. At that time, some Premier League game scenes will also be selected and processed for use as a film.

…………

Once this news was released, it immediately ignited the attention of the media. Just as Jessica Alba's agent Marco Odeske guessed, all the media immediately reported that Jessica Alba The scandal with the Chinese player Li Rui has been dug out again and violently hyped.

However, as for the media's question about whether Jessica Alba agreed to take over the play, whether it is related to the Chinese players of Leeds United, whether it is the agent Marco Odeske or Jessica Alba herself chose not to respond...

However, Jessica Alba did not respond, and the media in England did not pay much attention. At this time, the heads of major newspapers in England were all in front of the phone and in the office, shouting, forcing the best soldiers in their hands , rushing to Leeds like a duck...

"Go, Liz!"

"Go to Leeds! You guys, if you want to raise your salary and get promoted, now is your chance..."

All of a sudden, reporters from newspapers of all sizes in England gathered in Leeds, a small city that is not too big... To be exact, they began to revolve around Li Rui in three shifts...

…………

In the early morning, it rained continuously all day in Leeds, and it finally stopped. The air was chilly. When Li Rui woke up, it was around 11pm in Los Angeles. Mixed with excitement, he sent a short message of "Good night, Jessica" to Jessica Alba. After pressing the send button, Li Rui got up and went to take a shower.

After he finished washing and came back, he picked up his phone and saw a short message flashing on it. He wiped the toothpaste foam from the corner of his mouth with a towel, looked at the received message, smiled, and put the phone on the bed. Get ready to work on your own breakfast.

However, Li Rui soon discovered that the days when he was chased and intercepted by the media a month ago seemed to come back all of a sudden. While he was eating breakfast, he could also see through the window outside the garden, there were figures swaying, From time to time, a reporter snapped a picture of his house...

Li Rui smiled wryly. These reporters are really energetic. Over there, Jessica Alba agreed to join in the filming of a football-themed movie. ...However, Li Rui's heart also suddenly jumped. If, a month ago, he could say with peace of mind that he was innocent and had nothing to do with Jessica Alba...Then, now?Li Rui felt somewhat guilty.

Li Rui was also thinking about what is the current relationship between him and Jessica Alba?It's not like ordinary friends to say that they are friends, and it's not considered to be lovers... It's always, weird.

…………

"Hi, everyone." Li Rui locked the door. He decided that he couldn't hide anyway. Besides, if he didn't speak, these reporters could pry his mouth open. I called the tattooed taxi fan driver and asked him to pick me up. Now, this taxi driver with the same name as the legendary British general Wellington has almost become Li Rui's full-time driver. Of course, the taxi driver Fees still have to be paid.

The reporters waiting outside Li Rui's residence saw that Li Rui took the initiative to say hello to everyone today, and they could see that Li Rui was in a good mood today, and everyone was excited. What can I say.

"Li, is it because of you that Jessica is going to participate in the filming of "Fame"?"

"Li, it is said that both David and Qi Zu will be invited to participate in the filming of this film. Will you receive an invitation code?"

……

"Li, are you ready for the next match against Chelsea?" A reporter wearing glasses asked this question, which made Li Rui stop. For football questions, Li Rui still had to answer Yes, but the reporter's next sentence revealed his original purpose, "Before such an important game, will you be distracted by your relationship with Jessica?"

Li Rui was already ready to speak into the microphone, and when he reached the tip of his mouth to say something about the game against Chelsea, he choked it back. He cursed 'bullshit' in Chinese. At this time, he saw Wellington speak Seeing that the taxi had arrived, he quickly escaped and got into the taxi.

"Drive, Wellington, drive quickly." As soon as he got into the car door, Li Rui wiped the sweat from his forehead, urging Wellington to start the car quickly.

Wellington snapped his fingers, grinned, honked his horn vigorously, and shocked the reporters who came to the taxi, and then stepped on the accelerator and walked away. My buddies are now well-versed in dealing with reporters.

*************
The 2004-2005 season of the Premier League has reached the cruelest Christmas schedule. The Premier League is the only league in Europe without a winter break. When the team's games are the most intensive, it's not just that there are double matches a week during the Christmas period. Christmas has just passed and the FA Cup is about to start. Therefore, when the winter break of other leagues begins, the players are also discussing When going to celebrate the Christmas holidays, the Premier League players are the most tired.

The weekend of December 12th is the start of Leeds United's Christmas Devil's schedule. Before the start of this season, almost no one would have thought that Leeds United would still be able to rank at the top of the standings when the Christmas Devil's schedule started. The middle and upper reaches belong to the group that can go to the European arena if you put in more effort.

However, everyone knows that with the start of the Christmas devil's schedule, Leeds United will have a very difficult time in the next game. If one is not careful, it is not impossible for Leeds United to be sent back to the relegation zone .

…………

However, Leeds United's devil's schedule must first come to London's Stamford Bridge Stadium and challenge the league leader Chelsea in an away game.

Under the leadership of the new head coach Portuguese Mourinho, Chelsea has performed quite steadily this season. In this game, once Leeds United lose to Chelsea in the away game, they will have a bad start in the Christmas Devil schedule. In the next game In the middle, once the morale is low and a chain reaction is triggered, it will be quite bad.

However, at this time, less than a week before the important game against Chelsea, there were so many media reporters, as if seeing a bloody shark, surrounding Li Rui, the core of Leeds United's offense, which made Leeds The fans and the media were a little worried, worried that Li Rui would be distracted by this.

…………

Li Rui was almost late for the team's training due to the siege of reporters. By the time he arrived at the training ground, most of his teammates had already arrived. Do simple warm-up exercises.

Almost at the same time, everyone saw Li Rui running towards the training ground full of sweat. Everyone knew that Li Rui usually came to training very early, but today he came so late. The reason is that everyone knows I guessed it, at this time, the players naturally would not give up this opportunity to make fun of Li Rui.

The old players were joking with Li Rui. As for Alan Lennon and his ilk, they had to wonder if they were jealous...Well, after all, this scandal has been rumored well, and there is such a Hollywood female star My girlfriend is really the envy of everyone.

…………

"Hey hey hey, look, who's here?" Alan Lennon pinched his nose, pretending to be a woman, "Honey, you're here, I'm Jessica, hee hee..."

Everyone laughed when they heard it. Gustavo Poyet, who was watching the players warm up before training, also laughed. He didn't stop the players from messing around. The training hasn't started yet, so it's good to liven up the atmosphere Well.

Li Rui was also made goosebumps by Alan Lennon's imitative accent. On the sidelines, he kicked a ball up, which just hit Alan Lennon's ass, and the latter immediately He was shot and fell to the ground, lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and shouted, "My dear, why, why?"

Hahaha~
Everyone laughed even harder.

Although Li Rui was a little angry in his heart, there was nothing he could do about Alan Lennon's rogue behavior. What's more, today's Li Rui was a little guilty. If it was yesterday, Alan Lennon was so funny, Li Rui can say that he was wronged. There is nothing between him and Jessica Alba. They just met once. It was all scandals created by the media. He can catch Alan Lennon with confidence. It was easy to fight for a while, but now, for some reason, Li Rui seemed to have a ghost in his heart... To put it bluntly, he was a little... guilty, and he didn't have the confidence to beat someone.

…………

At this time, there was a sound of cursing and cursing in the distance, and then I saw an angry Eddie Gray coming in a hurry. I saw that the boss seemed to have a bad face, and he was still playing around and lying on the grass just now. The dead Alan Lennon immediately got up, moving as nimbly as a frightened rabbit, and started earnestly warming up.

"Starting from today, closed training, no one can accept media interviews in private." Eddie Gray looked around the players, and Li Rui felt that the head coach seemed to glared at him, which made Li Rui start again Chuchu was nervous.

No one was surprised by the decision Eddie Gray announced. After all, he had closed training a month ago. The reason is almost the same as this time...

Everyone looked at Li Rui, and Li Rui looked a little embarrassed. He also knew that it was because of his own reasons that everyone had to practice in closed mode. No matter how Li Rui thought about it, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Li, no one blames you." Albertini stood beside Li Rui, saw Li Rui's expression, patted Li Rui on the shoulder, and comforted him.

Li Rui scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly. He knew that everyone didn't blame him, but he still felt a little sorry.

*************
Interviews are not allowed outside the training ground, but outside the training ground, Eddie Gray can't control it anymore. I don't know if it was stimulated by Jessica Alba's announcement to participate in the shooting of football videos, which made the media firmly believe that There must be an affair between Li Rui and Jessica Alba. This time, there are more entertainment media coming to Leeds than last time, and the momentum is even stronger, and the paparazzi are not afraid of hardship, fatigue, and fear. Cold, not afraid of the rainy style of hard work, near Li Rui's rented house in Leeds, waiting in three shifts.

Some reporters even took another shortcut to find out the idea of ​​the neighbors near Li Rui's residence, and interviewed Li Rui's neighbors one after another. Perhaps in their opinion, Jessica Alba must have been to Li Rui's place. At home, these neighbors might not see it, and that is evidence.

All of a sudden, the residents of the community where Li Rui lived were also harassed by the paparazzi, and called the police one after another, but the police had no good solution. After all, these reporters just asked for an interview, and you directly refused. That's enough, the reporters didn't do anything illegal, and the police can't do anything about them. Besides, these reporters are veterans, and they have a way of dealing with the police.

This also made Li Rui feel very embarrassed. He thought it was because of himself that he disturbed the peace that the residents of the community should have. Although, the neighbors would still warmly greet him when they saw Li Rui and ask for Li Rui's autograph. I will take a group photo with Li Rui, but Li Rui always feels sorry for everyone...

…………

As for Li Rui himself, the reporters showed a different attitude. After finding that Li Rui seemed to be disgusted by the reporters' besieging, the reporters also changed their tactics. Whenever Li Rui went home or went out, these The reporter did not rush forward, but greeted Li Rui cordially, and then someone suddenly said, 'When will Jessica come over next time? 'In this case, if Li Rui didn't notice it, he would answer it casually, and he would be fooled.

Fortunately, there is really nothing between Li Rui and Jessica Alba, and Jessica Alba has never been to Li Rui's residence, otherwise, she might be fooled.

***********
In this way, day by day, a few days passed, on December 2004, 12, the whole team of Leeds United arrived in London by bus, preparing for the match against Chelsea tomorrow.

For the sports media and fans, the gossip surrounding Li Rui is nothing more than adding some interesting topics to this focus game, just like having some dessert during afternoon tea, they pay attention What matters is the game itself...

The 'Warcraft' Drogba, who Chelsea just introduced from Ligue 11 this summer, expressed a different welcome attitude towards the arrival of Leeds United's No. [-]...

PS: Asking for a recommendation ticket, it is about to fall out of the classification list. This is unprecedented... a tragedy.
