Chelsea.
London’s most popular wealthy area, the Queen’s favorite painting exhibition venue.
In addition to the clubs at Stamford Bridge, there is also the bustling King's Road. Many film and television works and reality shows tell the stories of this fashionable avenue.
For example, "Chelsea Girls" in 1966.
This road is dotted with various exquisite restaurants, fashionable shops, beauty brand stores, and old department stores.
The garden restaurant is also a good date place.
Of course there are also the Saatchi Gallery and Duke of York Square next to it, as well as Sloane Street, which is internationally recognized as the most luxurious shopping street.
Basically all famous luxury goods have flagship stores here. The Kalgen Concert Hall is adjacent to it. This concert hall holds more than 300 concerts or other events every year. After renovation in 2004, it became The venue where the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra stars.
So, if you take a closer look at the superior business environment in the Chelsea neighborhood, you will know why Abramovich bought this club instead of Fulham, which is not far next door.
In fact, the establishment of Chelsea Club is also very interesting.
The businessman who built the Stamford Bridge Stadium at that time originally invited Fulham to make it their home stadium. However, Fulham did not come because the rent could not be negotiated.
In order to avoid the loss of his assets, the businessman had no choice but to form Chelsea Club to reduce his losses
A whistle sounded and the game started.
Sunderland fans became active first. In less than 18 minutes, before Chelsea could effectively organize several attacks, their forward player Bente took the lead for the visiting team.
1:0
The goal is beautiful.
Perhaps because it was her first time to watch a game live, Liu Qianqian felt that the moment she scored, the entire stadium was set on fire by a small group of fans.
Watching the away team celebrating, she was well integrated into the emotions of the home team fans.
The nervous little face looked a little red because the back molars were clenched tightly.
Seeing her full devotion, Juan Fu smiled and joked with Dou Sen: "We should really take Liu to appreciate Arsenal's home stadium and let her feel what real beautiful football is."
Yes, both Juan Fu and Dou Sen are Arsenal fans.
It's embarrassing to say that among the few people, except for Abramovich
No one here is surrounded by Chelsea.
However, this radical fighting tactic consumes a lot of physical energy for the players. Everyone who watches the game knows that although this counterattack is sharp, as time goes by, Chelsea under Ancelotti lacks Just luck.
But football is round, and until the end of the first half, luck was not on Chelsea's side.
The score of 1:0 was brought to the halftime break.
"Okay, let's go back to the box and have a sip of hot tea." Abu clapped his hands and invited today's guests to go back to the box to take a rest and taste his collection of cigars.
Throughout the first half, he had been concentrating on admiring his team.
Liu Qianqian looked around for a moment. She wanted to follow her but was lightly touched by Deng Wendi. "They are going to smoke, do you want to follow them?"
"Ah, forget it."
After hearing this, Liu Qianqian showed a slightly disgusted expression and sat down immediately.
“You have to understand a man’s preferences in order to hold his heart.” Deng Wendi didn’t mind giving some advice to Liu Qianqian who was sitting down in this regard. She had noticed and heard the little moves they made when taking photos together. That sentence.
It can only be said that this meaningless love story is very touching, but most of the people who are moved by it have never seen the world.
At least, that’s what Deng Wendi thought.
"It is better to believe in a man's words than to believe that a pig can fly" is an everlasting warning.
Having rich experience in controlling husbands, she could tell at a glance that the actress named Liu Qianqian in front of her was often favored by Xiang Yang.
Thinking of the other person's passionate eyes towards the man who walked in, Deng Wendi said in a joking tone: "Like it, or love it?"
Liu Qianqian was surprised, "."
"If you like it, grab it. If you love it, hold on tightly." The expression on Deng Wendi's face was a bit joking, but the smile was somewhat sincere. "As a woman, don't let yourself suffer. Sometimes it is right to be selfish."
"." Liu Qianqian pondered for a moment, and then said "Oh".
She thinks this woman named Deng Wendi is very strange, even a little funny. She doesn’t understand why the woman in front of her doesn’t feel like the lover of a media tycoon, but like someone from an old TV series. 'Matchmaker' is a bit confusing.
But she didn’t know that Deng Wendi really had a hobby in this area.
But it’s hard to say what thoughts she had in introducing powerful men to these girls.
But for the blinking, somewhat dull female star in front of her, she had very few thoughts of introducing her boyfriend to him.
On the one hand, Liu Qianxi has a boyfriend, and on the other hand, there are some words said by her good friend Anna Wintour.
She often attends major film festivals and parties, and she wants to make friends with Xiang Yang from two aspects.
The first is to hope that the other party will design some exquisite dresses for herself, and the second is actually for the movie she is planning to shoot - "Snowflakes and the Secret Fan".
This movie was prepared for her first break in Hollywood. She planned to ask Zhang Ziyi to be the heroine, and also planned to ask Xiang Yang to be the costume director and even the art director.
Of course, it would be best if Xiangyang could get Hermès to sponsor some funds.
The cost of this film is not high, with a budget of between US$6 million and US$7 million.
But this kind of thing cannot be said openly. You have to take the wife route first and make Xiang Yang's girlfriend happy so that he will not refuse.
"Haha, Xiang, I didn't expect you to know how to smoke a cigar."
In the room, a joke was made. Xiang Yang, who was coughing non-stop, made several people laugh.
When even Abu saw Xiang Yang coughing non-stop, an easy-going smile appeared on his lips.
"I really don't like smoking this."
After a while, Xiangyang stopped coughing, took a bottle of water from the waiter and took a sip, and openly admitted that he always subconsciously There will be a lung-passing movement, just like smoking.
"I'm sorry for wasting such a good cigar." Seeing Little John, Dou Sen and Juan Fu with their faces intoxicated, feeling the luxurious experience that the richness of the cigar brings to the mouth, Xiang Yang rushed in embarrassedly Abu said.
"It doesn't matter. If you don't like it, I can smoke with you."
"That would be great."
"Xiang, I read the report and it said that Hermès sponsors "Downton Abbey"?" "Yes, Mr. Abu." Xiang Yang nodded, took the cigarette and lighter from the other party's bodyguard, lit one and said: " To be precise, I am responsible for the costume direction of this TV series."
"Oh, so it seems to be a very good TV series, and I will look forward to having you in it. The costume art presented.”
Abu’s tone was very casual, as if he was talking.
After all, investing in film and television production was not closely related to his investment. He was just looking for a topic to chat with the luxury fashion designer in front of him.
Because the other party is to his liking.
When he smoked a cigar for the first time, his clumsy appearance was very similar to the young man in front of him.
"If you have time, Mr. Abu can pay more attention to it then," Xiang Yang also smiled casually, "I hope that the Russian style I will show in the TV series will satisfy you."
“Will our Russian costumes appear in it?”
After hearing this, Abu asked with interest.
"If you imagine now 1891, from the outside, the world has changed so much, it seems that what has passed away is not a generation of life, but hundreds of years.
At that time, Paris did not have a dazzling city. There are no neon lights and no cars. People still call Moscow the ‘big village’. In Germany, the romantics who are obsessed with the linden tree and Schubert are still spending their last years, but America is so far away.”
After quoting the famous line of "People·Time·Life" by the famous Russian writer Ilya Ellenburg, Xiangyang paused and said with a smile:
"Whether it is sinking or sublimating, exaggeration It is still prosperous, and "civilization" will always change. How can the famous founders be missing from Russia and China?"
"Xiang, you seem to be deliberately complimenting me." Abu gave me a meaningful look. Sunny.
"To tell the truth," Xiang Yang shook his head. This was the first time he revealed in front of outsiders why he insisted on getting a period drama like "Downton Abbey." The unbroken sense of national history is what I want to reflect in my costume design.
The Russian Ballet Company came to London to perform in 1911 and influenced a number of European artists at that time with its exaggerated costume styles and colors. Designer.
Why can't I show it in movies and tell those arrogant guys that their so-called 'civilization' actually steals many of our outstanding designs?"
"I really like your bold and adventurous ideas." Abu commented abruptly after hearing this.
Looking out along the smoke he exhaled, he saw another team member in the stadium running out of the tunnel to do the necessary warm-up activities, so he said: "Let's go out too and let them stay here. Enjoy your cigar.”
The two of them came back not long ago. After a brief exchange with Deng Wendi and Liu Qianqian, the second half of the game began.
Before the game, Juan Fu, Dou Sen and Little John also returned to the stands.
The smell of cigarette smoke on several people made Liu Qianqian a little lucky that she did not go into the box.
She glared angrily at Xiang Yang, who was chatting passionately with Abu, and felt in her heart that what Wendi Deng said was not necessarily right. Men can't indulge too much, at least not Xiangyang.
Otherwise, he, a rude guy, doesn’t even know who is in charge of this family.
But as if in an instant, the stadium suddenly shook and the vast majority of people in the entire stadium shouted. She subconsciously turned her eyes to the lawn of the stadium. The player in the blue jersey kicked With an angry shot, the white net was lifted up.
"Goal!!! Ballack!!!"
Then, a roar like a mountain roar came, and the entire stadium was set on fire.
She was surprised to see that Abramovich did not seem to be much different from other fans. He grinned happily, took off the Chelsea team scarf from his neck, and threw it away happily like other fans. stand up.
“Sissi, we have to stand up and applaud.”
"Oh, okay."
She didn't even understand the rules of football, so she could only stand up and clap along with the people around her.
But not long after she sat down, she stood up again.
Less than 9 minutes later, Chelsea scored another penalty kick, and then only a few minutes later. Here, another goal.
It seems that football is also quite interesting.
Seeing the fans in the stadium doing various celebrations excitedly after the goal, she suddenly felt.
It was not as boring as I thought.
The score of 3:1 remained until the end of the game. As the whistle blew, the sky above Stamford Bridge was enveloped in cheers.
The time in China has reached early morning.
The hosts Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun, who were preparing to end the broadcast, were still summarizing the game through the broadcast cameras.
"Coach Zhang, what do you think of today's game?" Zhan Jun said with a smile.
“I think the Black Cats Sunderland were actually very well prepared when facing the Blues, especially their tactics in the first half, which have been effectively using their counterattack skills and tactics. , putting pressure on the opponent. However, the continuous conceding of goals in the second half made the entire team confused in an instant. The penalty shot made by Drogba when he broke into the penalty area played a crucial role..."
一After a long comment, Director Zhang Lu said with an interesting smile:
"Of course, this may be as we said before the game. Today's Chelsea, at their home court, has the blessing of the goddess..."
The live broadcast footage was also shown in front of the stands in the box area.
As soon as the game ended, Xiang Yang stood up and applauded Abu and others. After saying a few words of congratulations, Deng Wendi and Liu Qianqian also came over to congratulate Abu.
Noting that Liu Qianqian yelled a few times because she participated in the celebration, her face was slightly red. He came to his girlfriend and asked with concern:
"How are you, do you like it?"
"Fortunately, it sounds much better than what a certain guy said before the game." Liu Qianqian snorted, puffing her cheeks and raising her eyebrows, indicating that she was very dissatisfied at the moment.
Because after this stinky guy flirted with her, he didn't have any interaction with her throughout the game.
"I'm afraid of being caught by the camera. Don't make your fans mad to death."
"It's not such a coincidence."
Liu Qianqian is a man with a pouty mouth and smooth talk. I quite like making excuses for myself.
Thinking of it, she glared at Xiang Yang with an angry look.
Xiang Yang smiled, thinking about it, there are so many coincidences. There are so many people in the stadium. Now that the game is over, the camera usually focuses on the players, so he said: "Come here, let me hug you. ”
"Thank you." Liu Qianqian chuckled, "You even let me hug you, you are so brave."
"Then I will do it"
Xiang Yanggang said, standing aside Little John, Dou Sen and Juan Fu, who had been looking at them with disdain, couldn't bear it anymore. After the three of them glanced at each other, they pushed them left and right.
Hug me, kiss me, why is there so much nonsense!
“!!!”
