The Young Lion

Aldridge beckoned to Earl. The younger son trot to the sofa with a look of excitement, slammed into Aldridge's arms, raised his head and grinned, looking at a clever naughty man.

"Do you want to play a movie?"

"Well, think!"

Earl nodded firmly.

Aldrich is not the eldest brother Barnett. If his nephew Bowen said he was going to act in a movie, the Barnett and his wife would definitely not agree. Where is the "noble" to do?

Aldrich treats children differently, presumably from his childhood experience, which is always restricted, restricted, and restricted by his elders. This can't be done, that can't be done, he grows up according to the rules, and becomes an ordinary person step by step.

Therefore, in his life, he traveled all over the world alone at the age of 12, and did not want his children to be bound by dogmatism.

It is said that if you are three years old, you will be eighty, but I really want to say that Earl is going to play a movie today, and he will definitely be engaged in the entertainment industry in the future. This cannot be concluded.

Children, three minutes of heat, to satisfy the curiosity in your heart, or vanity, or interest, no matter what, actively participating in activities is conducive to open up the horizons from an early age, and great benefits for future growth.

Aldrich turned to Earl and asked, "What kind of character is suitable for him?"

He hasn't read the script.

Danny opened the script directly and handed it to Aldridge.

Earl and Aldridge looked down at the content of the script together, and did not know if Earl could understand it. Anyway, his eyes were serious.

Aldridge smiled bitterly.

This role is a child.

It is also the beginning of the movie, which sets the tone for the story.

It was a group of football hooligans, to be precise, Millwall and West Ham United football gangsters fought after the game and fought hand-to-hand in the dark alley, while the child Aldridge stood expressionlessly in the alley. Witness this fight...

This character has only about 40 seconds of playing time, which is to witness a football hooligan fight. It is estimated to be a metaphor for planting seeds to the soul. Aldrich does not understand. The movie was not filmed. He can’t tell the effect. But this role can be played as long as a child.

Standing there and watching calmly, the rest is the director's job.

Aldridge smiled at Earl: "This role is hard to play."

"Not afraid, I can act well!"

Earl said confidently.

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

Arthur was naturally overjoyed when he saw him, and he had to say that he thinks Earl Bert is more like Aldridge, and he seems to have a certain confidence by nature.

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

Arthur only remembered his business at this moment.

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

Danny got up and said: "Because your role is to replace Aldridge's elder brother, the plot of your role is still in the discussion stage."

"Well, it's okay, then tell me what the film is mainly about."

Arthur's heart is bright, if Millwall can move to the screen, it will definitely have a huge benefit for the club's publicity, cultural promotion, and economic benefits.

Under the introduction of Danny, Arthur understood that the timeline of this movie corresponds to the reality from the late 80s to 97.

It tells about the journey of Millwall’s rise, which is set against the background of the times. In addition to the essential passion of football, there is also the influence of English football on the community, the rise of Millwall, and the spirit of the community. .

"Well, what's the name of this movie?"

Arthur asked a question that made Aldridge also refresh himself.

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

Danny smiled: "In the plan, we will make a series of films, a trilogy, the whole series is called mad lion, the first part is called: Eve of Dawn."

The Mad Lion Trilogy?

Arthur took a deep breath and smiled and asked, "What's behind?"

"It hasn't been finalized yet. The preliminary name of the second part is: The Rise of the Dynasty. The third part is: The legend continues."

...

In the afternoon, Aldridge went to work in the club to host the team training.

The team began to prepare for the game with Arsenal. The training atmosphere was relatively relaxed. Aldridge also participated in the team's ball training. Generally, he will actively engage in training and interaction with the players, which means that he is in a good mood.

Of course he is in a good mood, the team is stable, two consecutive victories, the main force and the bench performance are not bad, the players are inevitably injured, then the depression after the game will pass, otherwise, after a season, it is estimated that Hard for half a year.

If he participates in training, he becomes the target of the players.

For example, if you walk the monkey to play a short pass, if Aldridge goes to grab the ball, like Ronaldinho, Larson, and Pirlo, he must show his feet in front of him, and he will be dizzy.

However, sometimes if the players are smashed and Aldridge wins the ball, it will be laughed at by other teammates.

After the training, Aldridge bid farewell to the players one by one. When it was twilight to return to the office, Adam knocked on the door, took a fax and walked in, said to Aldridge: "Boss, here is a FIFA The incoming fax, I hope we cooperate in making movies, do you know this?"

"Well, exactly, I want to talk to you about this."

Adam sat down in front of Aldridge. Aldridge told him about the filming, let him help coordinate the work of the film crew to shoot, as far as possible not to affect the team training.

Millwall will provide filming crew shooting venues, Leo training base, Lion King Stadium, will provide them.

But the filming schedule needs to be decided according to the club schedule.

For example, when Millwall is on vacation, or go to the European War away, from departure to return to rest, at least 2 days in the middle can be used for shooting.

Although there is still a long time to go before the movie is officially turned on, the preparation work is definitely better as early as possible. The more prepared it is, the more time it takes to get started.

After understanding the whole story, Adam got up and left, and the man had walked out of the door, but he lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then turned around and said to Aldridge working at the desk in the office: "Boss, if the club has such cooperation in the future It’s best to inform me about the project in advance so that I can be prepared."

Aldridge didn't lift his head slightly, sighed softly.

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

The serious-faced Adam just reminded Aldridge that the club participated in the cooperative filming. This is not a trivial matter for the team's publicity and commercial development, but he knew nothing about it beforehand.

He is more and more like what Fleet Street describes: Millwall's nominal puppet.

Naturally, he worked hard to complete the work, but the right to finalize major projects was in the hands of Aldridge. He was more of a hitting role.

Therefore, even if Millwall is more brilliant, he does not have much credit in the eyes of the outside world, but he must also admit that he is not a real power figure within Millwall. The outside world believes that his status in the club is not as good as that of Arsenal’s Dane. Reasonable.

But Adam himself felt deep in his heart, he felt like a coolie in Millwall.

...

In the evening, Aldridge and his family, Danny and Tennant dine together in the Chinese restaurant. Aldrich met a new friend, Tennant, and everyone was more open-minded. Danny was telling his ambition. He hoped The full development of football-themed movies, the mad lion trilogy is regarded as a pioneering work, and a series of movies will be derived in the future.

After the celebration, Millwall's London Derby was also on the agenda.

Wenger said at the beginning of the season: Arsenal has the ambition to break the dominance of Millwall, and we will do our best to try to achieve this goal this season.

Halfway through the league, Wenger's tone changed.

“Considering Millwall’s midweek Champions League main team got a good rest, and Arsenal sent all the main players to advance to the UEFA Champions League 16, we have now reached the next stage of the Champions League, but this time as a guest lion king The game of the stadium, Millwall has a certain advantage in physical fitness, geographical position, and momentum. This game is undoubtedly difficult for Arsenal. We will show a strong will to fight Millwall. When leaving, Take a satisfactory result."

What is the satisfactory result in Wenger's mouth?

The reporter repeatedly asked, but Wenger left with his words.

Everyone knows it well.

Either you said directly to take away the victory, or the "satisfaction" of this twist and turn is actually a draw.

It sounds like a lack of confidence, but considering that there are no teams in Europe that can take away the victory at the Lion King Stadium, Arsenal have no confidence, it can be recognized as reality.

Aldrich was relatively calm to the media before the game. In view of the overheating of the Champions League in the middle of the week, this contrast of just a few days surprised the reporter.

"For the London Derby, do you have no requirements for the game?"

Faced with the reporter's question, Aldridge looked blank, and asked, "Request? What kind of request?"

"For example, you require players to win the game, kill Arsenal at home and fight direct competitors."

"Direct competitor? Am I right? Millwall has opponents in the league?"

Aldrich looked away, and there were many reporters with slight corners.

It's also contempt for Arsenal to pretend to be stupid.

"Arsenal ranked third in the league, only one point away from the second ranked Leeds United..."

The reporter who asked the question couldn't speak anymore.

To say what is the biggest news of the All England Premier League this season, it is not Millwall who has ridden the dust.

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

Leeds United finished 16 rounds and achieved 8 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses. They lost one less than Arsenal and tied one more. They were one point ahead of Arsenal, but they were 12 points away from Millwall.

Arsenal's 13 points from Millwall makes Aldridge's words sound no problem.

Millwall has no opponents in the league.

"My requirements for the game? There are always, but they don’t have to be said, and my requirements are different from what you want to hear. My requirements for the team have not changed from beginning to end. Every In a game, it shows its due strength. No matter whether it wins or loses, as long as they show their strength, I will be satisfied."

"So what if Millwall lost?"

"There are many reasons for losing, and I will not put the blame on the players, because there may be a mistake in the coach's tactical arrangement, on-the-spot command and other factors that lead to the loss, so your problem is not connected. If we are a relegation team and encounter Arsenal, my players will try their best to lose the ball. Do I blame the players? No, they played their strength and played with the correct attitude , Will get my approval, the result is very important, but the result is not all."

Aldrich's words caused many reporters to fall into deep thought, and some people quickly recorded it. As a legendary young marshal, many of the words he said will be circulated in the future.
