654. Chapter 654 Scene 654 Specially Invited Commentator
"Who?" Fred asked instinctively, suddenly awakening and widened his eyes: "George, are you saying that the fifth head coach in the Premier League predicted by Mr. Li Xiaole has also resigned?"
"Yes, it's him~~" George nodded excitedly, turned his head to look at Li Xiaole with an extremely admirable look. Previously, since Li Xiaole had predicted correctly that the four head coaches in the Premier League were dismissed, everyone was looking forward to when the fifth head coach would be dismissed. But when the first episode of "Detective Sherlock" was broadcast, the head coach was as stable as Mount Tai, and the fans were joking about this matter. Who would have thought that Li Xiaole would make all the mistakes in the end!!
Seeing Fred and Charlie open their mouths at him, Li Xiaole couldn't help but snatch his face with his hands, feeling a little surprised. He really remembered that the five head coaches were over within 10 days... Why did the last one be two days late? Did he remember the wrong thing... or did history change because of himself...?
"Oh... it's a pity." After being surprised, Charlie shook his head regretfully: "If this guy insisted on it for a while, the topic of discussion would be interrupted... There are still 5 days before the next episode will be broadcast... The publicity effect will probably be reduced." The suspense maintained is always more attractive than the answer to the 5-day mystery...
Fred didn't say anything, but he couldn't help feeling disappointed in his eyes. The secretary George next to him couldn't help looking at Li Xiaole and asked enthusiastically:
"Mr. Li, can you predict whether there are any coaches who will be fired or transfers to players? I heard that Liverpool is going to acquire Spain's golden boy Torres from Atletico Madrid. The bid is as high as 5,000 euros. Is this true?"
Li Xiaole looked at the young secretary and felt his eager eyes, and his eyes looked like he was like a stock investor seeing Buffett...
What's even more funny is that not only Charlie next to him had an expectant expression, but even Fred, who had a serious expression, glanced at his reaction with the corners of his eyes, hoping that he could make some weird publicity plans... Li Xiaole laughed in silence and finally sighed:
"I can't reason about these things. I'm too busy shooting and I don't have time to study..."
Just as the three of them showed disappointment, Li Xiaole smiled and said, "However, I have not thought about the new promotional event. BBC2 has invited me to be a special guest on the night of the 23rd to live comments for the European Cup final."
After he repeatedly predicted the fact that the Premier League head coach was dismissed, the head of the bbc sports department had already found him and expressed his hope that he could participate in the live broadcast of the European Cup finals as a special guest.
In the UK, BBC, ITV, and Sky TV have both the live broadcast rights for this European Cup final. The three companies have tried their best to compete for ratings. The professional anchors of the game are all fixed, so naturally everyone can only write articles on the special guests.
Itv and Sky TV are not state-owned institutions, so there is no need to worry about anything. Both companies have confirmed to invite famous beautiful stars to attract attention. Itv even invited the famous ****, "Boba Jordan", who was popular all over the UK. This **** had a child with Manchester United star York, and was also considered a person related to football.
BBC invited Li Xiaole this time, to put it bluntly, it was a helpless move. Traditional media like them could not find those beauties with hot bodies, and to attract attention as mascots in the commentary gap. They could only find Li Xiaole, the recent "public enemy of Britain" to fight for topics. To put it bluntly, they just regarded Li Xiaole as a villain similar to "crow's mouth" and asked him to be scolded by all British people on the show to increase the ratings.
This news made Fred and Charlie, George stunned. George first reacted and exclaimed: "Don't go~! Mr. Li, don't go to BBC as a guest comment~!"
Charlie couldn't help but come over and grab Li Xiaole's arm tightly and said nervously: "Li, this is not a joke. Go to BBC to evaluate the football. This year is Liverpool's finals. No matter how you evaluate it, those football hooligans will not let you go~~~"
Don’t joke, the UK is a football kingdom named with Brazil. Everyone knows football. The commentators who comment on football are all senior hosts with specialized knowledge of football and are extremely eloquent. Those who have a little bit of unprofessionalism during the commentary will be overwhelmed by the fans and become laughing stocks. However, what is even more terrifying is that among British fans, there is a group of people called football hooligans, and their actions are even more terrifying.
For example, the big mouth singer Elton John once used to be a Premier League commentator at BBC to comment on a Manchester United game against Arsenal. After the game, due to dissatisfaction with Arsenal fans, many football hooligans came to his doorstep to protest, smashing the glass of his apartment with stones at night, and even a football hooligan threw "death threat letter" in his mailbox. This legendary British singer was worried during that time and vowed not to go to BBC commentary since then.
Those "Boba Jordan" and others went to be special commentators, and they were originally placed aside as vases, and they just clapped their hands to say which player is so handsome and whoever they liked, and there was no need to express their opinions, thus avoiding offending those fans.
But Li Xiaole is different. He gained the attention of the British football industry by relying on "reasoning". When he goes to BBC, he must do "reasoning" and tell the tricks. No matter how precise the reasoning is, he is a human being after all. As long as he says a wrong sentence, he will probably cause crazy revenge from football hooligans... No matter how he looks at it, it will definitely be a disaster for him to be a special guest...
"There's no way..." Li Xiaole shrugged with a relaxed look on his face: "For the sake of publicity."
This sentence made Fred and Charlie suddenly fall into silence. They looked at Li Xiaole and felt awe of respect for the Chinese director for the first time. They suddenly realized that Li Xiaole's success was not accidental, because he was a director who gave all his work...
Secretary George looked at Li Xiaole with great admiration, feeling that he looked so cool when he said this~~
"Charlie." Fred was silent for a moment, then turned his head and told his partner in a deep voice: "Go and find two bodyguards for Mr. Li Xiaole, and get the best..." Halfway through, he shook his head again: "Wait, I'll go by myself." Then he picked up his hat and windbreaker from the hanger and went out, leaving everyone in the room dazed.
This old stubborn person is really impatient... Li Xiaole couldn't help but sigh, but felt a warmth in his heart. He could feel the selfless old Fred's care for him... This old boy is actually not that bad...
After Li Xiaole officially rejected BBC's copyright for 3 million yuan to buy out "Sherlock" per episode, the situation seemed to be starting to be as worried as the people in the board of directors. Although the first episode was extremely successful, after the second episode was broadcast on May 18, the ratings did not increase significantly, and it still hovered around 5.48 million, slightly behind the 5.98 million yuan of "Mr. House".
Under the suppression of the mainstream British media in maintaining their own culture, the power of that cultural ceiling began to appear. Although Li Xiaole predicted that the five Premier League coaches had caused a sensation, they were marginalized into a gossip. The Premier League has completely ended this week and the topic did not last until the end of this week.
On the website of the "Modern Deduction Method" method, due to the mystery being revealed, the previous craze has gradually faded. Although many people had a very fresh attitude at the beginning and wanted to learn to read this reasoning method, after all, it is difficult for ordinary people to get started with this too professional reasoning method. Once they see too professional terms, they still feel a headache.
Alas... it's useless to learn it. This is similar to psychology. You don't work as a professional doctor. You can just gossip. Why bother yourself? Except for those female movie fans who want to see through their partner's true thoughts, most people have lost interest in this reasoning method.
Compared to the ‘modern deduction method’, they are more willing to believe in simple theories such as zodiac signs and blood types.
On the other hand, when mainstream media talked about "Detective Sherlock", they used an attitude of "not bad, but lost the original story of showing justice and justice.", which made most photos who had never seen this series have become the impression of "either good or bad". Not many people who are not interested in detective dramas are willing to try to watch this series.
Of course, the number of viewers in the second episode of "Sherlock" has not increased significantly, and there is another important reason.
Because compared to "Detective Sherlock", most of the people in the UK are more concerned about another topic, and the annual European Champions League final is about to open!!
For the people of this birthplace of modern football, nothing is more exciting than their team reaching the European Champions League final. After winning the championship in Istanbul in 2005, England's football pride and historic giant team "Red Army" Liverpool was once again invincible, defeating defending champion Barcelona, strong rival Chelsea, and once again reached the Champions League final~~~
And this time they faced an old opponent in 2005, the Italian giant AC Milan team. The showdown between these two top giants in the world is not only a fierce collision between Mars and Earth, but also a great epic feeling of fateful duel.
In Istanbul, Turkey, two years ago, AC Milan, which was at its peak in European football, welcomed the down-and-out English giant Liverpool in the Champions League final. As a result, when he led 3-0 in the first half, he was 3 goals in a row by Liverpool in 5 minutes in the second half and finally lost to Liverpool in the penalty shootout.
This "Miracle Night of Istanbul" made this legendary world football. That night was a carnival night for the English. This year, fate made that legendary night reappear two years later, and the two giants once again launched a fateful showdown on this night.
