The Young Lion

Thank you Thieves for your reward!

Aldrich waved to Earl, and the youngest son trotted to the sofa with an excited face, crashed into Aldrich's arms, raised his head and grinned, looking like a clever naughty ghost.

You want to be in a movie?

Well, I want to!

Earl nodded firmly.

Aldridge is not the eldest brother Barnett. If it was his nephew Bowen who said he wanted to act in a movie, the Barnetts would definitely disagree. How can this be something that nobles would do?

Aldridge treats children differently. It probably stems from his own childhood experience. He was always restricted, restricted, and restricted by his elders. He couldn’t do this, and he 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 he didn't want his children to be bound by dogmatism.

It is said that three years old is eighty, but if you really want to say that Earl will act in a movie today, he will definitely be in the showbiz in the future, this is not conclusive.

Children, three minutes of enthusiasm, to satisfy the curiosity in the heart, or vanity, or interest, no matter what it is, actively participating in activities will help broaden your horizons from an early age, and it will be of great benefit to your future growth.

Aldridge hugged Earl and turned his head and asked, What kind of role is suitable for him?

He hasn't read the script.

Danny directly opened the script and handed it to Aldridge.

Earl and Aldrich looked down at the content of the script together, not sure if Earl could understand it, but his eyes were serious anyway.

Aldrich smiled wryly.

this role. It was my childhood self.

It's also the scene at the beginning of the movie. It sets the tone for the storyline.

It's a bunch of football hooligans. To be precise, the football hooligans of Millwall and West Ham United fought hand-to-hand in a dark alley after the game, and Aldridge, who was a child, stood expressionlessly at the entrance of the alley and witnessed the brawl all the way

This character only has about 40 seconds of playing time. He just witnessed the football hooligans fighting. It is probably a metaphor for planting seeds for the soul. Aldridge doesn't understand.

The movie hasn't been made yet, and he can't say what the effect is, but this role, as long as a child can play it.

Standing there watching calmly, the rest is the job of the director.

Aldrich smiled at Earle and said, This role is difficult to play.

Don't be afraid, I can act well!

Earl said confidently.

Aldridge bowed his head and kissed his forehead, and praised: Good boy, awesome.

Arthur was naturally overjoyed when he saw it, he had to say. He thinks Earl is more like Aldrich than Bert, and he seems to have a natural self-confidence.

Hey, the little guy is going to film with grandpa! By the way, what am I going to do?

Only then did Arthur remember his business.

Arthur, who usually loves to play around, is unambiguous in front of business.

Danny stood up and said, Because your role is to replace Aldrich's eldest brother, the plot of your role is still in the discussion stage.

Well, it's okay, then tell me what the main content of this movie is.

Arthur's heart is bright, if Millwall can be put on the screen, it will definitely be of great benefit to the club's promotion, cultural promotion, and economic benefits.

Under Danny's introduction, Arthur understood that the timeline of this movie corresponds to the reality from the late 1980s to 1997.

It tells the journey of Millwall's rise, with 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, and the upliftment of the community people brought about, etc. .

Well, what's the name of the movie?

Arthur asked a question that cheered Aldridge up.

Indeed, he never asked what the name of the movie was.

Danny smiled and said: In the plan, we will make a series, a trilogy, the whole series is called Wild Lion, and the name of the first part is: Eve of Dawn.

Wild Lion trilogy?

Arthur took a deep breath and asked with a smile, What about the ones behind?

The final decision has not been made yet. The tentative name of the second part is: Dynasty Rise. The third part is: The Legend Continues.

In the afternoon, Aldridge went to work at the club and presided over the team's training.

The team began to prepare for the match against Arsenal, and the training atmosphere was relatively relaxed. Aldridge also participated in the team's training with the ball. Generally, he would take the initiative to interact with the players during training, which means he is in a good mood.

Of course he is in a good mood. The team is stable and has won two consecutive games. Hard work for half a year.

And if he participates in training, he becomes the object of teasing by the players.

For example, walking a monkey to play short passes, if Aldridge is going to grab the ball, like Ronaldinho, Larson, and Pirlo, he must show off his footwork in front of him, making him dizzy.

But sometimes if a player screwed up and Aldridge succeeded in stealing the ball, he would be ridiculed by other teammates collectively.

After the training, Aldridge bid farewell to the players one by one. When he returned to the office, it was dusk. Adam knocked on the door, walked in with a fax, and said to Aldridge: Boss, here is a copy Fax, hope we cooperate to make a movie, do you know about this?

Well, just in time, I want to talk to you about it.

Adam sat down in front of Aldridge, and Aldridge 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 training as much as possible.

Millwall will provide the film crew with shooting venues, Leo's training base, and the Lion King Stadium will all be provided to them.

But the shooting schedule needs to be determined according to the club schedule.

For example, when Millwall is on vacation, or going to play away games in European games, from departure to return to rest, 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. But it is definitely better to finalize the preparation work early. The more prepared you are. Get twice the result with half the effort when you officially start work.

After knowing the whole story, Adam got up and left. He had already walked out the door, but he lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then turned around and said to Aldrich who was working at the desk in the office: Boss, if the club has this kind of cooperation in the future For the project, it is best to notify me in advance so that I can prepare.

Aldridge hummed lightly without raising his head.

Adam stood still for three seconds. During these three seconds, Aldridge never raised his head, he closed the door gently, and then walked away.

Adam with a serious face just reminded Aldridge that the club participated in the co-production of a film, which is not a trivial matter for team promotion and commercial development, but he didn't know anything about it beforehand.

He was becoming more and more what Fleet Street described him as: Millwall's titular figurehead.

Work. He is naturally working hard to complete, but he has the final say on major projects. They are all in the hands of Aldridge, he is more like a helper role.

Therefore, no matter how brilliant Millwall is, he does not have much credit in the eyes of the outside world, but he must also admit that he is not a powerful figure inside Millwall. Reasonable.

But Adam himself felt dissatisfied deep in his heart. He felt that he was like a coolie in Millwall.

In the evening, Aldridge had dinner with his family, Danny and Tennant at the restaurant in the city. Aldrich met a new friend, Tennant, and everyone had a good chat. Danny was talking about his ambitions. He hoped that To fully develop football-themed films, the Wild Lions Trilogy is considered to be the pioneering work, and a series of films will be derived in the future.

After the feast, Millwall's London Derby is also on the agenda.

Wenger said boldly at the beginning of the season: Arsenal have ambitions to break Millwall's dominance, and this season we will do our best to try to achieve this goal.

Wenger's tone changed before the half of the league was finished.

Considering that Millwall's main players in the Champions League got a good rest in the middle of the week, and Arsenal sent all the main players to fight for the last 16 of the Champions League. In the game on the stadium, Millwall has certain advantages in terms of physical fitness, geographical advantage, and momentum. This game is undoubtedly difficult for Arsenal. We will show tenacious will to fight against Millwall. Get a result that satisfies us.

What exactly is Wenger's satisfactory result?

The reporter kept asking questions, but Wenger turned his back on him.

Everyone knows it well.

Either you directly say that you take away the victory, or this oblique satisfaction is actually just a draw.

It sounds a bit lacking in confidence, but considering that no team in Europe can take away the victory at the Lion King Stadium, Arsenal has no confidence, so it can be regarded as recognizing the reality.

Aldridge was relatively calm to the media before the game. In view of the midweek Champions Cup, the reporter was surprised by the contrast in just a few days.

For the London derby, don't you have any demands on the game?

Facing the reporter's question, Aldridge looked blank and asked, A request? What kind of request?

For example, you require players to win games, to kill Arsenal at home, to attack direct competitors.

Direct rivals? Did I hear correctly? Millwall has rivals in the league?

Aldrich looked around, and the corners of the mouths of many reporters in the audience were slightly raised.

The young marshal pretended to be stupid and pretended to be contemptuous of Arsenal.

Arsenal ranks third in the league, only one point away from second-ranked Leeds United

The reporter who asked the question couldn't continue.

If you want to say what is the biggest news in the Premier League this season, it is not that Millwall has surpassed the dust.

But Christmas is coming, Leeds United ranked second in the league.

After 16 rounds, Leeds United have achieved 8 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses. They lost one game less than Arsenal and drew one more. They are one point ahead of Arsenal, but they are still 12 points behind Millwall.

Arsenal are 13 points away from Millwall, making Aldridge's words sound no problem.

Millwall has no rivals in the league.

My request for the game? I have always had it, but I don't have to say it. Moreover, my request has a different meaning from what you want to hear. My request for the team has not changed from the beginning to the end. Every time In a game, if they play their due strength, no matter they win or lose, as long as they play their strength, I will be satisfied.

And what if Millwall loses?

There are many reasons for the loss, and I will not shift the responsibility to the players, because it may be the head coach's tactical mistakes, on-the-spot command mistakes and other factors that led to the loss, so your problem is not related. If we are a relegation team and we meet Arsenal, and my players try their best and lose the game, do I blame the players? No, they showed their strength and played with the right attitude , will get my approval, the result is very important, but the result is not everything.”

Aldrich's words caused many reporters to think deeply, and some people hurriedly recorded them. As a young marshal who is already a legend, many of his words will inevitably be passed down in the future. (to be continued...) ()
