The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

After finishing the Daliangshan affairs, under the repeated urging of John Annabell, the club partner sales director who was waiting in Haicheng early, Luo Lie, Zhang Yiyi, Liu Xiaoyan, Ji Sihan, Zhou Yue, Lina, He Xuemei and others finally left Beijing for Haicheng early in the morning on January 30. After meeting with Annabell and the filming team, they drove to the Xizha Scenic Area in Wuzhen, Zhejiang Province, to shoot the promotional video of the Oriental Gift Box.

It is approaching the Lunar New Year in the Eastern country, and there are not many tourists in the scenic area. At this time, the Xizha of Wuzhen is like a peaceful painting of a Jiangnan water town. The ancient stone bridge spans the rippling river, connecting the white-walled and black-tiled Ming and Qing buildings on both sides. The river water is leisurely, reflecting the weeping willows and ancient houses on the shore, rippling slightly. On the stone road, there are occasional tourists passing by in groups of three or two, but it is not noisy, as if they are all immersed in this quaint atmosphere.

The shooting team that John Annabell found this time is a long-established advertising shooting company in Haicheng City. They deeply feel the essence of oriental culture. The theme of this shooting is "When Cheongsam Meets Blue and White Porcelain". The cheongsams tailored for Zhang Yiyi, Liu Xiaoyan, Ji Sihan and Zhou Yue have been delivered to the hotel in Xizha Scenic Area in advance.

The blue and white is bright and the cheongsam is elegant. The neckline of the cheongsam locks the secrets of the past; the slits reveal modern independence and grace; the delicate embroidery is poetic and picturesque; when the gentle cheongsam is combined with blue and white porcelain, it is wonderful with just a few strokes, creating another kind of beauty. When listening to the creative proposal, just these few simple sentences and a few sketches drawn with simple lines conquered Luo Lie and made him full of expectations.

Although he was mentally prepared, he was still deeply shocked when Zhang Yiyi, Liu Xiaoyan, Ji Sihan and Zhou Yue put on cheongsams and appeared in front of Luo Lie. John Annabell and Lina, two white European and American women, were even more shocked by the oriental beauty.

Zhang Yiyi chose a royal blue cheongsam. The slim cut perfectly outlined her graceful figure, and every curve was just right; the stand-up collar was dignified and elegant, setting off her slender neck. The exquisite embroidery on the cheongsam was like a blooming flower and a flying butterfly, adding a bit of agility to her beauty.

Liu Xiaoyan chose a red cheongsam. The bright red was like a burning flame, full of vitality and passion. The design of the cheongsam was simple and generous, and the high-slit skirt revealed her slender legs, which added sexiness when looming.

Ji Sihan's cheongsam was mysterious purple. The deep purple silk exudes a strong classical atmosphere, and the golden silk embroidery on the cheongsam outlines a gorgeous pattern. She stands there quietly, like a beautiful painting, which makes people stop and admire.

Zhou Yue's cheongsam is an elegant pink. The soft color is like the peach blossoms blooming in spring, giving people a warm and sweet feeling; the pearl decoration on the cheongsam shines brightly under the light, like stars dotted in the night sky.

On the blue and white porcelain, the flowing clouds and water waves are light, the fish play with the lotus, and the lotus leaves are in the fields. Every stroke outlines a paradise, which complements the softness of the cheongsam and is beautiful.

Shooting begins: Wuzhen, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the sun shines on the ancient bluestone road, and a soft halo appears. Zhang Yiyi, Liu Xiaoyan, Ji Sihan and Zhou Yue, four beauties, walk gracefully in this picturesque scenery.

Zhang Yiyi, wearing a royal blue cheongsam, holds a set of exquisite Chinese tea sets in her hands. The white porcelain teapot and teacup sparkle with a warm luster in the sun. Zhang Yiyi gently lifts the teapot and slowly pours out a cup of clear tea. The clear tea soup seems to have a mysterious charm in the sun. She lowers her head slightly, sniffs the tea fragrance, and her eyes reveal her deep love for this ancient tea culture.

Liu Xiaoyan is wearing a red cheongsam with a golden peony pattern embroidered on it. Her beauty is warm and unrestrained. She holds a thread-bound version of "The Analects" in her hands. Zhou Yue gently turns the pages of the book, and the ancient text seems to carry a kind of wisdom. She reads one of the sentences carefully, and her eyes reveal her admiration for this ancient classic.

Ji Sihan is wearing a purple cheongsam with a golden phoenix pattern embroidered on it. Her temperament is mysterious and noble, and she holds a Chinese knot in her hand. The bright red silk threads are intertwined to form a beautiful and complex pattern. Ji Sihan gently stroked the Chinese knot, her eyes full of respect for this ancient traditional craft. She held the Chinese knot high, letting the sun shine on it, and the red silk thread seemed to be shining.

Zhou Yue was wearing a pink cheongsam, with peach blossoms embroidered on it, like the most beautiful flowers in spring. She held a silk handkerchief in her hand, which was soft and smooth.The surface is embroidered with exquisite patterns. Liu Xiaoyan gently unfolded the handkerchief, and the delicate embroidery was amazing. She smiled and gently brushed her cheek with the handkerchief, as if telling a gentle story.

The four beauties walked slowly on the ancient streets of Wuzhen, and their figures blended into the beautiful water town scenery. The ancient stone bridge, the clear river, and the houses with white walls and black tiles all became their background. They sometimes stopped to appreciate the scenery, sometimes communicated with each other, and sometimes showed the items in their hands. Every movement and every expression was full of charm.

They came to an ancient courtyard with a wooden table and several chairs. There was an aromatherapy burner on the table, and a faint fragrance wafted out of the burner, which made people feel relaxed and happy. Zhang Yiyi put the Chinese tea set on the table and began to make tea for everyone. Her movements were elegant and skillful, as if she was performing an art performance. Zhou Yue put the silk handkerchief on the table, showing its beauty. Ji Sihan hung the Chinese knot on a branch nearby, letting it sway gently in the breeze. Liu Xiaoyan placed the thread-bound version of The Analects on the table, opened one of the pages, and read the text aloud softly.

In this quiet courtyard, the aroma of tea, flowers, books, and incense interweaves to create a unique atmosphere. Four beauties sat around the table, enjoying this wonderful time. Their smiles were as bright as the sun, and their beauty bloomed like flowers.

As the shooting continued, the four beauties came to the riverside of Wuzhen. The river was clear and reflected their beautiful figures. They stood on the stone bridge, holding their own items in their hands, looking into the distance. The picture seemed like a beautiful scroll, intoxicating.

Zhang Yiyi looked into the distance, her heart full of love for this ancient culture. She knew that Chinese tea sets were not just an item, but also a cultural heritage. It represents the Chinese people's love for life and pursuit of quality. Zhou Yue was thinking about the silk handkerchief in her hand. It was so soft and delicate, as if telling the gentleness and beauty of ancient Chinese women. Ji Sihan looked at the Chinese knot, her heart full of love for the motherland and pride in traditional culture. Liu Xiaoyan was immersed in the wisdom of "The Analects of Confucius". She knew that this book was a treasure of Chinese culture, and it contained endless wisdom and philosophy of life.

The last thing that appeared in the close-up was the aromatherapy burner. This aromatherapy burner was quietly placed there, exuding a simple and mysterious atmosphere. It is round as a whole, with smooth and elegant lines, as if it is a work of art carefully carved by the years.

The body of the burner is warm, it may be exquisite ceramics or textured copper. If it is made of ceramics, the delicate surface has a soft luster, as smooth as white jade, reflecting a charming halo under the light; if it is made of copper, it has a calm color that has been precipitated over time, and the copper color is deep or shallow, showing a unique charm.

The lid of the aromatherapy burner is particularly exquisite, like an exquisite little hat. The lid is often carved with exquisite patterns, perhaps lifelike flowers, with layers of petals, so delicate that you can smell the virtual fragrance of flowers; perhaps a lively auspicious beast, such as a dragon, with clearly countable scales, showing majesty and mystery in its claws and teeth; or perhaps a picturesque landscape with undulating mountains and mist, making people feel as if they can appreciate the vast beauty of nature through this small carving. These carvings have different depths and smooth lines, and every detail shows the craftsman's exquisite craftsmanship.

The furnace body may be decorated with simple and elegant patterns, such as zigzag patterns and cloud patterns. These patterns are like ancient symbols, telling the story of the years. On one side of the furnace body, there is a small furnace mouth, slightly upturned, like a playful elf, as if ready to spit out the curling light smoke at any time.

When the incense in the aromatherapy burner is lit, the light smoke will slowly rise from the gap of the cover or the mouth of the burner, like a dream, as if bringing people into a poetic and mysterious world, making people feel relaxed and intoxicated.

At night, the lights are on, and the river surface is colorfully illuminated by the lights. The black-sailed boat slowly passes by, creating layers of ripples. In the West Bank of Wuzhen, time seems to stand still, making people forget the hustle and bustle of the world and fully experience the rich historical charm and poetic water village style.

The entire shooting lasted two days. The elegant and beautiful cheongsam looks of Zhang Yiyi, Liu Xiaoyan, Ji Sihan, and Zhou Yue deeply shocked all the staff and tourists who met them in twos and threes. "In the afterglow of the sunset, the figures of Zhang Yiyi, Liu Xiaoyan, Ji Sihan, and Zhou Yue gradually faded away..." When the last frame was shot, the shooting of the entire promotional film was completed.The team cheered heartily. After all, it was already the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month in the Eastern country, and it would be New Year's Eve in four days. If they could complete the task on time, everyone could prepare for the New Year.

The staff of the shooting team rushed back to Haicheng overnight. After finishing the material arrangement, they could take a holiday for the New Year. John Annabell and Lina, two white European and American women, were deeply attracted by the oriental beauty of cheongsam and followed the shooting team to Haicheng. The remaining Manchester United staff were given a week of paid leave by Luo Lie, who let them choose their own schedule for the next week and report to the Carrington base on time a week later.

Luo Lie, Zhang Yiyi, Liu Xiaoyan, Ji Sihan, He Xuemei and others followed Zhou Yue to visit her family. The Zhou family is a large family with several generations living together, and the harmonious family atmosphere makes Luo Lie envious. When hearing that Luo Lie was an overseas Chinese, Grandpa Zhou warmly invited Luo Lie to stay in the ancient town for the New Year. However, seeing the expressions on Grandma Zhou and Mother Zhou's faces as if they were looking at their grandson-in-law/son-in-law, Luo Lie quickly declined the invitation, saying that several colleagues were waiting for him in Haicheng City.
