Chapter 46: The 1998 World Cup
The 1998 World Cup is the most classic World Cup.
This year there was a significant exchange of old and new stars, with Maradona and others leaving, and Zidane Ronaldo joining.
This year, the World Cup expanded to 32 teams for the first time, and traditional strong teams such as the Netherlands, Germany, France, England, and Italy all entered the top 32.
This is also the year!
The most popular theme song in World Cup history was also born.
Cup of life!
Maybe this name is still unfamiliar to everyone, but Fang Shun immediately hummed the popular song "gogogo, Ole Ole Ole!"
This song is probably the most widely circulated sports song in human history.
Fang Shun needed a guardian when he came to Europe, but Fang Shun didn't want to trouble his family anymore, so he called Mr. Li and asked if he could borrow someone.
Ever since...
Xiao Liu, who was sitting in the first class cabin with him, smiled helplessly and said, "This song was just released not long ago. You can sing it now?"
"Of course! In my heart, this is the most classic World Cup song," said Fang Shun.
Xiao Liu rolled his eyes and said, "What if, I mean what if. I ask you to go up and sing this song, can you sing it down?!"
Fang Shun rolled his eyes at him. Although he was quite good at singing, he was still far behind those professional singers. How did you suddenly come up with this wonderful idea?
Xiao Liu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm not asking you to sing at the World Cup. I'm just saying that when you return to China, I'll invite a few teachers to sing with you."
Fang Shun was a little moved, but worried, "Will they be willing? After all, they are all seniors in the music industry."
"Ha! It's their honor for us to invite them here. Give them some face! Don't agree? If you don't agree, replace them!" At this moment, Xiao Liu truly looked like a Fortune 500 executive.
Plane landing at Paris airport.
When Xiao Liu saw a middle-aged man with blue eyes and blond hair picking up the plane, his expression changed and he hurried over and said softly, "This is the chairman of Hermes, please pay attention to your words later."
Fang Shun was also surprised. A small person like him needs this big shot to pick him up at the airport?
"Hello, I am Fang Shun." Fang Shun bowed slightly and performed a less than standard etiquette.
Hermes looked at him carefully for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Are you Fang Shun, the China spokesperson who provided our Coca-Cola company with several slogans?"
Fang Shun nodded awkwardly, those are actually things you came up with in the future.
Xiao Liu was shocked on the sidelines. What did he hear? Why didn't he know that Fang Shun had become the spokesperson of Huaxia District!?
The chairman of Hermes personally named Fang Shun as the spokesperson of Huaxia District?
Xiao Liu boldly looked up at him, only to find that the other person looked at him with deep meaning.
Xiao Liu understands, and he will tell Mr. Li soon that this is the head office's decision, although he still doesn't understand why the other party did this?
After chatting with Hermes for a while, Fang Shun learned that the other party did not come to pick him up on purpose, but someone else, which made him even more curious.
A plane taking off from England landed slowly at the Paris airport.
A man with thin hair, a red nose, and a pair of glasses came out, his eyes full of wisdom.
Hermes greeted him from afar, "Old friend! Long time no see."
That's right, the visitor is none other than the Red Devils coach Sir Alex Ferguson who came to visit his players during a league break with nothing to do!
At this time, he was not as gray-haired as he would be in the future. At this time, he was upright and in his prime, and his words were full of passion.
"Hermes, long time no see! Hahaha"
"You are still so strong," Hermes said with envy.
What many people don't know is that Hermes and Ferguson have a very good relationship in private and often get together to drink and chat.
Coca-Cola does not sponsor many football stars, but it does include Ferguson's beloved disciple Ronaldinho. The Red Devils led by Ferguson have also participated in friendly matches held by Coca-Cola many times.
Hermes arranged a hotel for an old friend, and it was only on the way that Ferguson noticed Fang Shun's presence. After learning that Fang Shun was the spokesperson for China chosen by Hermes himself, Ferguson was really shocked.
He knew how good his old friend's vision was, otherwise he wouldn't have worked his way from department manager to chairman of Coca-Cola and assumed great power!
Ferguson smiled at Fang Shun and said, "Can you speak English?"
"Yes, but my English may not be very good, Sir"
"Sir?" Ferguson asked doubtfully.
Suffer!
Fang Shun secretly said, "Sorry, the other party won't get the title until next year."
Fortunately, he was quick-thinking and said, "This is the honorific title we Chinese people give you, because you are as elegant and proper as a knight on the court."
Ferguson laughed loudly, he liked the childish talk of children.
………
Fang Shun came to Europe for a serious purpose, but the first thing he did was asked by Hermes to order a dress.
Although they were filming football, they couldn't be too serious about it, right?
Coca-Cola invited Darren, a famous European dress designer, and he has participated in Milan Fashion Week many times.
Fang Shun discovered that Darren particularly likes retro clothing, such as jackets and so on.
He was making gestures on Fang Shun with a tape measure. If Fang Shun hadn't seen Darren kissing his wife, he would have thought that Darren was carrying the mountain behind him.
"Teacher Darren, are you okay?" Fang Shun has been standing for more than an hour and is tired.
It's not that he's tired from standing, it's that he's seeing himself being manipulated as a puppet by the other person, but he still knows that the other person is doing it for his own good. It's so difficult.
Darren glanced at him and continued to focus on the important task of taking measurements.
Alas... The helpless Fang Shun began to hum a song, among which was the Cup of Life.
Darren also shook his body unconsciously.
Coincidentally, Hermes also wanted to customize a dress, but found his Darren twerking.
"..."
Both Hermes and Darren were stunned.
Darren lowered his head in shame.
Fang Shun did not notice this scene, but he felt that humming was not enough, or maybe he thought Darren would not pay attention to him, so Fang Shun simply sang it.
"gogogo~"
Fang Shun's voice is still very young and he cannot sing many high notes, but this does not affect his passion.
After the song ended, Fang Shun realized that he was still in someone else's home. He quickly turned around and found that the chairman of Hermes and several others were applauding him.
Hermes came over enthusiastically and said, "Your voice is very nice, but your strength is a bit lacking, but this can be made up for in the future. I suggest you develop your career in the music industry."
His parents have already spoken, what else can he say? Fang Shun nodded and replied, "I will think about it carefully. In fact, Mr. Li also wants me to cover this song in China. It just takes advantage of the popularity of the World Cup to give us Coca-Cola."
Promote a wave of publicity”
In fact, Mr. Li never said it at all, but Fang Shun remembered how good he was.
"Li, if you have the heart, you are great too!"
Hermes added, "I'm here to tell you one more thing. We have already discussed it with the England team. We can go to their training ground to film tomorrow morning."
"Yes, I promise not to embarrass our company tomorrow." In just a few words, the relationship between them was brought closer.
Before leaving, Darren took the initiative and said, "This is my phone number. Although you are short-handed now, your face makes me full of confidence in you in the future."
Fang Shun twitched the corner of his mouth and accepted the humiliating note.
There is a difference between how you see yourself and how others see you. Fang Shun even laughed at Master Liu before, but when he turned around, he was severely slapped in the face.
Tsk…
The next morning, Hermes and Ferguson took Fang Shun into the England training ground.
The opponent was training, and Fang Shun discovered Alan Shearer, Gary Neville, Scholes, Owen and other stars or future big-name players.
After one of them saw Ferguson arriving again, he quickly ran out of the training team.
Fang Shun became even more excited, that was Xiao Bei!
"Tou" Beckham is still very young at this time, but he already has the prototype of his future golden right foot.
"You are training, how could you come out?" Ferguson scolded, but his eyes were full of love.
Xiaobei scratched his head and looked at Aivas and Fang Shun.
Ferguson gave a brief introduction, and Xiaobei was very surprised. Chairman of Coca-Cola? And this kid is actually the spokesperson of China?!
These are all incredible people.
At this time, the assistant in charge of training came. He had already known that someone would be filming today.
Fang Shun took out a piece of paper and pen and said to Xiaobei, "Well... can you sign it for me? I have a friend who really wants your signature."
Xiaobei smiled knowingly and said, "Is she your girlfriend?"
"No, no, no, no, it's just a friend who often exchanges letters and greeting cards," Fang Shun explained.
"Okay, do you still need to write a blessing?"
"Well, just write xxx"
………………
Guess who?!
In my impression, Huayu is not just the entertainment industry, there should be a lot of things to write about, such as sports songs, TV movies, variety shows, etc. I can’t say how good I can write, but it must be about a single female protagonist.
Click I'm sure.
It will be pushed up tomorrow. Please give me your support.
Thank you. Why bother to give a reward of 100 book coins that you forgot! Thank you!
