Godfather Of Champions

In a blink of an eye, the new season has started for more than half a month. Nottingham Forest has one win, one loss and one tie. This result is really modest, and people don't know what to evaluate.

Unless going online, Dunn rarely gets news from Nottingham Forest. Because he is now in America.

In more than half a month, he has also completed a major event-his second autobiography has finally been released, and it has been released simultaneously in many countries around the world. Dunn announced that this will be the last autobiography in his life. Now that he has retired, what else can be written in the days to come?

This autobiography reviews Dunn’s entire coaching career. The difference from the previous one is that the national team accounted for a large proportion. At the same time, he also disclosed the detailed process of his departure from Nottingham Forest for the first time in his autobiography. , Although this has been almost unearthed by the media after he left.

Then he flew to Los Angeles with Teresa to participate in a new autobiographical autobiography book sales event held there. Afterwards, after being introduced by his wife Shania and friends Beckham and Tom Cruise, I met with some Hollywood stars and directors to discuss his other major event-making autobiographical movies. This film was produced by Tom Cruise’s United American Film Productions. Dunn and Shania also sponsored a large amount of money. After all, it is an autobiographical film and not fully commercialized. Such a film does not need to How high expectations are on the box office. It is mainly filmed for audiences who like Dunn. If you want to see the story of the most arrogant and most successful coach in world football being put on the screen, then this movie is not to be missed. As for whether he is popular with other audiences... that is of secondary importance.

To put it bluntly, it means that Dunn paid for his own money, and joined his friends to fulfill one of his own careful wishes-making his own story into a movie.

As a producer, Cruise believes that this is actually a good sports film subject-because it truly reflects the football culture of England.

However, after knowing the news, some media expressed different opinions:

"... quarreling with opponents, full of swear words, confronting the FA, criticizing referees, arrogant, and making trouble... I am really worried that after such a film is made, I will teach the children badly. Anyway, I will not let my son go to the cinema. Watching this movie!"

"This news shattered the last bit of affection I had for him because of the World Cup champion... When I thought I would see his face on the big screen, I thought it was really a tragedy..."

Cruise doesn't care about the ridicule of the media, on the contrary he wants this effect. As a controversial figure in the sports world, Dunn is accompanied by different voices wherever he goes, but this is also his advantage, because he is enough to attract attention. The filmmakers have already seen the benefits of his characteristics-before the filming started, many media have called the production company to ask about the interview. Many media have acted as free publicists.

"As a film with an estimated length of 100 minutes, we certainly can't shoot your fifteen years of coaching career, so we need to intercept some clips..." The producer of United American Film Productions is giving Dunn Talking about the idea of ​​their play, and Tom Cruise, the boss of United States, as a friend of Dunn and Shania, accompany him. "This film is not a pure sports film, we hope to express a kind of thinking about football."

"We have carefully read your two autobiography." In the hands of the producer, there are two autobiography of Dunn. The following is the first autobiography published on the tenth anniversary of Dunn’s teaching in 2013. Years, the above is a new autobiography "Champion" that has just been published simultaneously in many countries around the world. "We think the most suitable story for filming is your first season with the Forest, exactly that half of the season. It is very dramatic and thought-provoking... I like this quote by Shankly: 'Football has nothing to do with life and death, football is higher than life and death'. I think the story you experienced during that half of the season is a kind of proof and reflection on this sentence..."

Fortunately, this producer is not an American who doesn’t understand football, but a Scot. Otherwise, the film must be nondescript. Although Scotland does not have any good players, they have produced many good coaches. The movie with the coach as the protagonist does have its own opinions.

Dunn, who was listening quietly, suddenly interrupted the other party's endless talk: "Sorry, can I ask a question? You just said that you want to use the story that happened in the second half of the 2002-2003 season as the prototype of the movie? "

"Yes!" the producer replied, "Although your team failed in the Super League in the end, it doesn't matter, we can list all your achievements at the end of the film..." He thought Tang En was worried that the final defeat of that season would not satisfy the audience.

I don't know that Dunn is worried about another thing.

He held his chin and considered for a while, then shook his head: "I'm afraid I have to discuss this matter with someone..."

Tom Cruise looked at Shania who was sitting next to Dunn. Shania gave him a helpless smile. She didn't know what happened to Dunn.

"Well, well, we'll come again next time..." Cruise glanced at the producer who was driving, then turned around and said to Dunn, "How long will you stay here, Tony?"

"Don't worry, stay a while."

The producer drove the car over, and Cruise and the Dunn couple hugged and bid farewell. After he left, Shania asked, "Who do you want to discuss about the movie?"

"An old friend." Dunn smiled at Shania, "An old friend who has never seen each other for many years... I don't know if he still remembers me."

"Do you want me to accompany you?" Xianya asked, snuggling in Tang En's arms.

"No, it's been too long, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing to meet." Dunn patted Shania's shoulder gently.

The little daughter was chasing butterflies in the grass, screaming cheerfully from time to time. Fiona Bernard was sitting on a white beach chair, flipping through magazines, and from time to time she asked her daughter to be quiet.

"Shannon, be quiet, you will noisy your neighbor!"

"Don't be afraid that the skirt is dirty, I only washed it for you yesterday."

But the daughter's cry has been reminding her mother, what the daughter is doing, and it will be wrong when the voice is gone.

Now Fiona felt that something was wrong, because her daughter never screamed. She dropped the magazine, looked up to look for her daughter, and found Shannon at the gate of the yard, looking timidly at a strange man standing outside.

The man was wearing a dark suit and wearing sunglasses. Just standing outside the half-high courtyard gate.

"We don't need vacuum cleaners or other things..." She got up and walked behind her daughter and held her.

"I'm not here to sell things, madam. Is this Mr. Michael Bernard's house?" the man asked politely.

Fiona nodded.

A smile appeared on the face of the man opposite, he took off his sunglasses and put them in his jacket pocket. "Hello, madam. I am your husband's friend. We only met once. Maybe you don't remember me anymore, but he and I have been friends for many years. My name is Tony Dunn."

When Michael came home from get off work, he found a pair of men's shoes at the door.

"Are there guests?" he asked his wife who came up to greet him.

"Your friend." Fiona took her husband's coat and briefcase.

"My friend?" As Michael changed his shoes, he wondered if it was the bank executive he knew at the golf club, or the lawyer he met last time out fishing... But when he walked into the living room, he saw him coming. When he was human, he was stunned.

"Hi, Michael." Dunn stood up and greeted Michael Bernard who was standing in front of him.

Michael looked at the person in front of him in surprise, and for a long time he squeezed a voice from deep in his throat: "Tor...Tony? Why are you... why are you here?"

"Fortunately you haven't moved, otherwise I won't be able to find it." Dunn smiled, "Actually I also have a house in Los Angeles, and occasionally I will come here to accompany my wife-Shania, you know. ? But I'm sorry I haven't come to you, because um...that, I'm worried that I don't know what to say after seeing you." He shrugged, shook his head and sighed. But then he smiled again, "I am also very happy to see you have such a lovely and beautiful daughter."

Shannon was pulling her mother's skirt, leaning against her mother, watching his father talking with the strange uncle curiously.

"Actually I came to you for Gavin..."

After Dunn reported the name, the Bernards were shocked.

Then Dunn told them both of his intentions, hoping to get their answer. After calling Michael's house and seeing Gavin's photos everywhere, Dunn felt that he was on the right trip. Little Gavin must still occupy a very important position in the minds of Michael and his wife.

Since I want to put Gavin's story on the screen, I must seek the opinions of his family.

To be honest, Dunn thought that Michael's wife would probably object fiercely. He was even ready to be scolded. He didn't expect Fiona to get up and leave after looking at Michael. "I'm going to make dinner."

Then Michael stared at Dunn up and down for a long time: "I heard you retired?"

Dunn nodded.

"Why retire?"

"Uh...I didn't pursue it anymore, are you tired..."

Michael smiled: "I didn't expect the arrogant Tony Dunn to have a tired day? It's a pity... the World Cup finals are wonderful."

Dunn was a little surprised to hear him say this: "Don't you stop watching football? Are you completely insulated from football?"

"It's okay to watch the TV broadcast."

Dunn secretly glanced at the kitchen: "Your wife..."

"I confessed to her. Thank you for speaking of it, Tony."

"Thank me?" The second monk Tang Enzhang was puzzled.

"Thank you for sending me tickets every time the final. It was not until the European Cup final that I realized that I couldn't live without football..." Michael sighed slightly. "Although I won't go to the scene to watch football like I used to, but I no longer need to think of football as a terrible devil. My heart is finally calm... You know, Tony? If you came two years ago Asking this matter, I think Fiona and I will definitely not agree. Gavin is like a stone weighing on our couple's hearts, making us breathless. Now..." He spread his hands." We agree that you put Gavin’s story on the screen, and I think this is a kind of comfort to Gavin."

This was exactly the answer Dun En wanted. He was very happy, and he reached out to shake hands with Michael in a reflexive manner, but he didn't expect Michael to give him a high five.

"Stop treating me as a negotiator. Remember how we met, Tony?"

As soon as he heard him say this, Dunn laughed. "Of course, that's a beautiful memory..."

That night, Dunn called Shania and told her that she would stay at Michael's house instead of going back at night. Told her and Teresa to rest early. Then he and Michael kept chatting until late. Since Michael left the UK in the summer of 2003, they have never had such a pleasant chat. Although neither of them drank alcohol, they talked blushing, as if they were drunk.

Sometimes they laugh and sometimes cry. Two men in their fifties are still like young people. When I think of the past ten years, I can't help but sigh. When they first met, the two were still enemies fighting each other. At that time, neither of them thought that they could sit together and chat like this in the future.

Early the next morning, Dunn bid farewell to Michael and his wife and their lovely little daughter Shannon, and returned home by car.

Then Dunn called and agreed to the producer's proposal, telling him that he could shoot that way, and he had nothing else to say. In short, there are people who are more professional than him, and he doesn't bother to worry about it. Anyway, he will go to a guest role at that time, and it will be fun.

The next step is to sign the contract and wait for some trivial things. When all these things are done and ready to accompany his wife and daughter at home in Los Angeles, Dunn glanced at the calendar and suddenly realized that it was almost September 9th.

His fiftieth birthday is approaching. (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, authors are supported, and genuine reading is supported!)
