Aldrich waved to Earl, and the younger son trotted to the sofa with excitement on his face, ran into Aldrich's arms, raised his head and grinned, looking like a clever naughty boy.
"You want to be in a movie?"
"Well, I think so!"
Earl nodded firmly.
Aldrich is not the eldest brother Barnett. If his nephew Bowen said he wanted to act in a movie, the Barnetts would definitely disagree. Is this something a "noble" would do?
Aldrich treats children differently. This probably stems from his own experience as a child. He was always restricted, restricted, and restricted by his elders. He couldn't do this and couldn't do that. He grew up following the rules and became an ordinary person step by step.
So in this life, he traveled around the world alone at the age of 12, and did not want his children to be bound by dogmatism.
It is said that the age of three determines the age of eighty, but if you really want to say that if Earl acts in a movie today, he will definitely be engaged in the entertainment industry in the future, this cannot be determined.
Children, take three minutes to satisfy your inner curiosity, vanity, or interest, no matter what it is, actively participating in activities will help broaden your horizons from an early age and will be of great benefit to your future growth.
Aldrich held Earl and turned around and asked: "What kind of role is suitable for him?"
He hasn't read the script.
Danny opened the script directly and handed it to Aldrich.
Earl and Aldrich looked down at the content of the script together. They didn't know if Earl could understand it, but his eyes were serious anyway.
Aldrich smiled bitterly.
This character is me when I was a child.
It is also a plot at the beginning of the movie, which can be regarded as setting the tone for the storyline.
It was a group of football hooligans, to be precise, the football hooligans from Millwall and West Ham United were fighting after the game, engaging in hand-to-hand combat in a dark alley, while Aldridge, a child, stood expressionless at the entrance of the alley.
Witnessing this fight…
This character only had about 40 seconds of screen time, and he just witnessed a fight between football hooligans. It was probably a metaphor for planting seeds in the soul. Aldrich didn't understand. The movie wasn't made, so he couldn't tell what the effect would be.
But as for this role, just a child can play it.
Standing there and watching calmly, the rest is the director's job.
Aldrich smiled at Earl and said: "This role is difficult to play."
"Don't be afraid, I can act well!"
Earl said with confidence.
Aldrich lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead, praising: "What a great boy."
Arthur was naturally overjoyed when he saw it. He had to say that he thought Earl was more like Aldrich than Bert, and seemed to have a natural confidence.
"Hey, little guy and grandpa are going to film together! By the way, what should I do?"
Only then did Arthur remember his business.
Arthur, who usually likes to fool around, is unambiguous when it comes to serious matters.
Danny stood up and said: "Because your role is to replace Aldrich's eldest brother, the plot you will appear in is still in the discussion stage."
"Yeah. It's okay. Then tell me what the main content of this movie is."
Arthur felt enlightened. If Millwall could be put on the screen, it would definitely be of great benefit to the club's publicity, cultural promotion and economic benefits.
After Danny's introduction, Arthur understood that the timeline of this movie corresponds to the real life period from the late 1980s to 1997.
It tells the story of the rise of Millwall. It is set against the background of the times. In addition to the essential passion of football, there is also the influence of British football on the community. The rise of Millwall has brought about the uplifting spirit of the community people, etc.
.
"Well, what's the name of this movie?"
Arthur asked a question that cheered up Aldrich.
Indeed, he never asked what the name of the movie was.
Danny smiled and said: "The plan is that we will make a series of films, a trilogy. The whole series is called Wild Lion, and the first part is called: Before Dawn."
The Lion Trilogy?
Arthur took a deep breath and asked with a smile: "What about the back?"
"The final decision has not yet been made. The preliminary title of the second part is: Rise of the Dynasty. The third part is: The Legend Continues."
...
In the afternoon, Aldrich went to work at the club and presided over team training.
The team began to prepare for the game against Arsenal, and the training atmosphere was relatively relaxed. Aldridge also participated in the team's ball training. Generally, he would take the initiative to interact with the players during training, which meant that he was in a good mood.
Of course he was in a good mood. Everything about the team was stable. They had won two consecutive games. The main players and substitutes performed well. Player injuries were inevitable. The depression after the game was over. Otherwise, after one season, it would probably take a long time.
It was hard work for more than half a year.
And if he participates in training, he becomes the target of teasing by the players.
For example, when playing a short pass while walking a monkey, if Aldridge goes to grab the ball, people like Ronaldinho, Larsson, and Pirlo will definitely have to show off their skills in front of him, which will make him dizzy.
But sometimes if a player messes up and Aldrich steals the ball, he will be laughed at by his teammates.
After the training, Aldridge said goodbye to the players one by one. When he returned to the office, it was already dusk. Adam knocked on the door, walked in with a fax, and said to Aldridge: "Boss, here is a FIFA document.
I received a fax and asked us to cooperate in making a movie. Do you know about this?"
"Well, just in time, I want to talk to you about this matter."
Adam sat down in front of Aldrich, and Aldrich told him about the filming and asked him to help coordinate the filming work of the film crew so as not to affect the team's training as much as possible.
Millwall will provide filming locations for the film crew, as well as Leo's training base and the Lion King Stadium.
But the shooting schedule needs to be decided according to the club's schedule.
For example, when Millwall is on holiday, or when they go to play away games in European competitions, from departure to return, there are at least 2 days in between that can be used for shooting.
Although there is still a long time before the movie officially starts shooting, it is definitely better to finalize the preparations as early as possible. The more prepared you are, the easier it will be to get twice the result with half the effort when the movie officially starts.
After understanding the whole story, Adam stood up and left. He had already walked out of the door, but he lowered his head and remained silent for a moment. Then he turned to Aldrich, who was working at the desk in the office and said: "Boss, if the club has this kind of cooperation in the future,
It’s best if you can notify me of the project in advance so that I can be prepared.”
Aldrich hummed quietly without raising his head.
Adam stood there for three seconds. During these three seconds, Aldrich never raised his head. He gently closed the door and walked away.
Adam, who looked serious, just reminded Aldridge that the club was involved in cooperating in filming a movie, which was not a trivial matter for team promotion and commercial development, but he knew nothing about it beforehand.
He is becoming more and more like what Fleet Street describes him as: Millwall's nominal figurehead.
He naturally works hard to complete the work, but the decision-making power on major projects rests with Aldridge, who is more like a subordinate.
Therefore, even if Millwall is brilliant, his contribution in the eyes of the outside world is not great, but he must admit that he is not a powerful figure within Millwall. The outside world thinks that his status in the club is not as good as Arsenal's Dane, and he is also
It makes sense.
But Adam himself felt unhappy deep down. He felt that he was like a coolie at Millwall.
...
In the evening, Aldrich, his family, Danny, and Tennant dined at a restaurant in the city. Aldrich made a new friend, Tennant, and they all had a good chat. Danny was telling his ambitions, and he hoped
For the comprehensive development of football-themed films, the Lion Trilogy is considered to be the first work, and a series of films will be spawned in the future.
After the banquet, the London derby at Millwall was also on the agenda.
Wenger said boldly at the beginning of the season: Arsenal has the ambition to break Millwall's dominance, and we will try our best to achieve this goal this season.
Before the league was even halfway through, Wenger's tone changed.
"Considering that Millwall's main players in the Champions League got a good rest in mid-week. Arsenal sent all their main players to advance to the last 16 of the Champions League. Now we have entered the next stage of the Champions League, but this time we are visiting the Lion King.
In the match on the pitch, Millwall has certain advantages in terms of physical fitness, location and momentum. This game is undoubtedly difficult for Arsenal. We will show our tenacious will to fight against Millwall and leave with
To achieve a result that satisfies us.”
What is the result that Wenger says he is satisfied with?
Reporters kept asking questions, but Wenger ignored him.
Everyone knew it well.
Either you directly say that you take away the victory, or this roundabout "satisfaction" is actually just a draw.
It sounds a little lack of confidence, but considering that no team in Europe can win at the Lion King Stadium, Arsenal has no confidence, so it can be regarded as recognizing the reality.
Aldridge behaved relatively calmly to the media before the game. In view of the midweek Champions League outburst, the contrast in just a few days surprised reporters.
"For the London Derby, don't you have any requirements for the game?"
Facing the reporter's question, Aldrich looked confused and asked: "Request? What kind of request?"
"For example, you require players to win games, defeat Arsenal at home, and attack direct competitors."
"Direct rivals? Did I hear that right? Millwall have rivals in the league?"
Aldrich looked around, and there were many reporters in the audience with their mouths slightly raised.
The young marshal is showing contempt for Arsenal by pretending to be stupid.
"Arsenal ranks third in the league, only 1 point away from second-placed Leeds United..."
The reporter who asked the question was speechless.
As for what is the biggest news in the Premier League this season, it is not that Millwall has emerged victorious.
But Christmas is coming, and Leeds United are ranked second in the league.
After 16 rounds, Leeds United achieved a record of 8 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses. They lost one less game and drew one more game than Arsenal. They were one point ahead of Arsenal, but they were still 12 points behind Millwall.
Arsenal are 13 points away from Millwall, so Aldridge's words don't sound problematic.
Millwall has no rivals in the league.
"My requirements for the game? I have always had them, but I don't have to say them out. Moreover, my requirements have different meanings from what you want to hear. My requirements for the team have not changed from beginning to end. Every time
In a game, if they show their due strength, no matter whether they win or lose, as long as they show their strength, I will be satisfied."
"What if Millwall loses?"
"There are many reasons for losing, and I will not put the responsibility on the players, because it may be the head coach's tactical mistakes, on-the-spot command mistakes and other factors that lead to the loss, so your problem is not related.
If we are a relegation team and encounter Arsenal, and my players try their best but still lose, do I have to blame the players? No, they showed their strength and played with the right attitude.
, it will gain my approval. The results are important, but they are not everything.”
Aldridge's words caused many reporters to think deeply, and some people quickly recorded them. As a legendary young marshal, many of the words he said will inevitably be passed down in the future.
