“Hello……？” I thought I would hear a greeting in Korean, but I didn't expect to hear an authentic London accent with straight words, and the person on the other end of the phone hesitated a little, paused for a while, and then looked at the phone number again It seemed to be right, and then he hesitated to change the Korean and asked: "Is it Li Jingyuan XI's phone?" ”

"Yes, I'm Li Jingyuan, may I ask who you are?" The other party changed the Korean language, and Li Jingyuan also changed back, but he still didn't hear who the other party was, so he asked again.

"Kyungwon, it's me, Park Ji-sung." confirmed that it was Lee Kyung-won answering the phone, and Park Ji-sung on the other end finally relaxed, his voice became much more relaxed, and he quickly identified himself.

"Huh??"

"OPPA, who's calling?" At the same time that Lee Kyung-won heard Park Ji-sung report his home, a group of girls who stayed next to him also began to ask.

At the beginning, hearing Li Jingyuan's 'Hello' was enough to make the girls curious. You must know that Lu Dao is now in Japan, even if the number he calls is unfamiliar, Li Jingyuan should greet him in Japanese or Korean, rather than in English.

Li Jingyuan greets in English, which means that the other party's phone number is not from Japan or South Korea, and Li Jingyuan always stays together, and it is rare to have the opportunity to hear him talking on the phone with friends in European and American countries, and the girls will of course feel a little curious.

Looking at Li Jingyuan's reaction, it is obvious that it is not an official exchange, but a connection between friends. And when Li Jingyuan knew the identity of the other party, he was very surprised. It shows that the call Li Jingyuan received was from a friend who was very familiar but not often contacted, and after thinking of this, the girls felt even more curious.

Curiosity comes together. Where can the girls remember other things, maybe it's a little rude to interject at this time, but the girls can't help their curiosity, so there are still a few people who immediately start to ask.

"It's Brother Zhixing, kids, don't make any noise." The repeated inquiries of several girls made Li Jingyuan almost unable to hear Park Ji-sung's voice on his mobile phone. In desperation, he could only turn his head and say something first, and then change the phone to hands-free mode.

"Jisung? Jisung? Yes~~! I got it. Isn't Park Ji-sung OPPA?? Listening to Li Jingyuan's name, the nimble little sun muttered a few times, and then thought of a person, the next second. She immediately screamed.

"Really? Is it really Park Ji-sung OPPA?? Wow~~~~! Little Sun shouted. The others immediately followed suit, and the nine girls were in a mess, and the room was immediately filled with a noisy noise.

If you talk about the performance in the World Cup, Lee Kyung-won can be said to be the first in South Korea, after all, he is the only one in the entire Korean team who was selected for the best team, and he also won the Golden Boot Award in the South African World Cup.

But when it comes to the iconic figures of Korean football, it is Park Ji-sung who is the most famous. Although his performance in the World Cup is not as brilliant as Lee Kyung-won, he is a representative of Korean professional players studying abroad. The club he plays for now is one of the most famous clubs in the world.

When Lee Kyung-won frequently appeared in variety shows, Park Ji-sung was still running on the field as a professional player. Relative to Li Jingyuan. He appeared on the sports news a lot more, so over time, Lee Kyung-won's identity as a player was slowly forgotten by the public, and Park Ji-sung became the most famous football player in South Korea.

Stained with the word 'most', Park Ji-sung's status has naturally improved a lot, whether in the hearts of ordinary Korean people or in the consciousness of this group of girls in Girls' Generation. Therefore, when the girls figured out that the person who called was Park Ji-sung, they were so excited.

"Jing Yuan, do you have a lot of people over there? Why does it sound so noisy? The girls shouted excitedly, and it also reached Park Ji-sung's ears through the phone, because he didn't know who was messing around, and Park Ji-sung didn't scruple too much when he spoke, but directly said his feelings.

"Yah~! You guys~! Be quiet~! Park Ji-sung's tone was not dissatisfied, but Li Jingyuan still felt a little embarrassed, turned his head and yelled at the girls, and after they were quieter, Li Jingyuan said into the phone: "Brother Ji-sung, I'm sorry, I'm with the girls now, they heard that it was you calling, and they were excited." ”

"Huh? Is it girlhood? After listening to Li Jingyuan's introduction, Park Ji-sung subconsciously changed his tone and hurriedly greeted the girls: "Girls' Generation children, hello~." ”

When it comes to the relationship between Park Ji-sung and Girls' Generation, it is actually not too unfamiliar. When Lee Kyung-won was participating in the training camp before the World Cup, the girls of Girls' Generation had visited the training base and had already met Park Ji-sung and other players.

Not only that, but after leaving South Korea to join Manchester United in the UK, Park Ji-sung will always feel a little homesick. In order to alleviate this emotion, he often watches various programs in South Korea to pass the time after training, Park Ji-sung prefers to watch song shows and variety shows than TV dramas and movies, and the girls of Girls' Generation are often active in these two types of programs, so they will often appear in Park Ji-sung's eyes.

To tell the truth, in fact, Park Ji-sung can also be regarded as a fan of a girl group, although he is not in South Korea, but he knows no less about these Korean girl group idols than those local Korean fans. Among so many girl groups, Park Ji-sung's favorite is Girls' Generation, firstly because these girls are really good in Girls' Generation, and secondly, because they are relatively familiar, including Lee Kyung-won's relationship, and Girls' Generation is also the only girl group that Park Ji-sung has actually come into contact with.

Park Ji-sung's tone revealed a sense of familiarity, although it wasn't too much. But that's enough for girls' generation. has a very lively personality, and after being in the entertainment industry for so long, the girls have long been full of the skill of 'on the pole'.

Not long after a while. The girls of Girls' Generation chatted very hotly with Park Ji-sung, not only occupying the empty seats in front of the mobile phone, but also squeezing Lee Kyung-won to the back.

"Hey, you girls, give me a seat. Brother Zhixing must have something to do when he calls, don't wait around here to delay his time, I don't know if international calls are very expensive? "Crammed outside for a few minutes. Li Jingyuan was really speechless, and in desperation, he could only shout at these girls again. This freed up a place for them.

"Brother, I'm sorry, the girls really like you so much, don't you mind." First of all, he apologized to Park Ji-sung. Only then did Li Jingyuan formally ask: "Speaking of which." Brother, you shouldn't have called to talk to me this time, right? What's the matter? ”

"Well, there is indeed something, it's like this......."

It turned out that it was nothing else, the reason why Park Ji-sung called Lee Kyung-won was inseparable from his profession, and the matter was also related to football. This time I contacted Li Jingyuan, in fact, I wanted to invite Li Jingyuan to participate in a charity game organized by him as a player.

As soon as he heard Park Ji-sung say the words charity competition, Lee Kyung-won immediately recalled the show he had watched before crossing over. In 2012. Park Ji-sung participated in the recording of two episodes of "RunningMan", when the members of "RunningMan" participated in the second charity competition held in Thailand with him. And in 2013 it was the same. Artists such as Kim Jong Kook participated in the competition again, but the location was changed to Shanghai, China.

In 2012, it was the second session, so now this phone invitation is the first edition? Thinking of this, Li Jingyuan couldn't help but have an idea.

"Brother, who have you invited now? Has the venue been decided? What about opponents? The whole organization has already been planned? Before he could give an answer, Li Jingyuan first asked a series of questions.

"Uh......, not yet, I just have an idea now, and the other arrangements haven't been implemented yet, don't I want to ask you for advice first?" was stunned for a moment by Li Jingyuan's barrage of questions, and after a few seconds, Park Ji-sung gave an answer with some embarrassment.

"So I'm the first to get the call?"

"Of course, brother, I also know that you are the most capable, so I will call you now to hear your opinion." Park Ji-sung wasn't just saying polite words. As early as the 06 World Cup, Lee Kyung-won was the outreach staff hand-picked by the then head coach of the South Korean team, Adwo Carter, and it was precisely because of Lee Kyung-won's contact organization that the three major TV stations reached a series of cooperation agreements with the South Korean national team. As one of the members of the team at that time, Park Ji-sung certainly knew about this matter, so he would treat Lee Kyung-won as a consultant at this time and ask for his advice.

"Hehe, brother, if you don't have a clear plan, why don't you listen to my opinion first?" After listening to Park Ji-sung's words, Lee Kyung-won became even more energetic.

"Well, I'll listen, you say." After a while, it seemed that Park Ji-sung had taken a pen and paper and was ready to take notes.

"First of all, since it's a charity competition, I think we need to make it as big as possible. The more people buy tickets to attend the game, the more charity money will be raised. After clearing his throat, Li Jingyuan began to speak: "To do this, I think at least two conditions must be met, one is that the people participating in the competition must be attractive enough, and the other is that the competition itself must have a certain level. ”

"I think you might as well invite more Korean players who play abroad to participate in the game, such as Qinglong and Seongyong, and you can also invite a few of your teammates in the Manchester United team."

"The venue, I suggest you go to Japan, so that you can invite Japanese professional players to form a team to be your opponents. For example, Hidetoshi Nakata, Shinji Kagawa and others can be arranged into this team. ”

"Wait, if we do that, aren't we the visitors? Doesn't seem quite right? Hearing what Li Jingyuan said, Park Ji-sung interrupted him with some hesitation and raised a question.

Indeed, as Park Ji-sung said, if the venue of the game is in Japan, and at the same time Japanese stars like Hidetoshi Nakata are invited to the game, it will indeed feel a bit overwhelming. The Japanese crowd in attendance will surely give their full support to Hidetoshi Nakata's Japanese team. This will instead make Park Ji-sung, the organizer of the competition, seem less important.

"That's right." After listening to Park Ji-sung's words, Lee Kyung-won also noticed something wrong, but his brain was still flexible enough. In the next second, he found a solution: "That's it, let's bring Nakata Hidetoshi and other Japanese foreign players to our team, and the opponent will find a local professional team in Japan." ”

"Add to that the appeal of your team-mates at Manchester United, and it should pretty much split the Japanese fans into two parts. Why don't I get in touch with you and call a friend? After that, he paused slightly. Li Jingyuan said his friend's name: "How is Beckham?" ”

"What? David Beckham?? Hearing the name of Li Jingyuan, Park Ji-sung was a little frightened, he really didn't expect Li Jingyuan to say such a name.

To talk about the relationship between Beckham and Park Ji-sung. It's kind of weird. In the eyes of South Koreans, both are representative figures of Manchester United, and before 03, Manchester United was mentioned. South Koreans will immediately think of Beckham's name. And when it comes to Manchester United after '05, South Koreans will think of Park Ji-sung's name first.

In '03, David Beckham left Manchester United, and in '05, Park Ji-sung joined Manchester United. Both are iconic figures for Manchester United, but they have never featured at the same time. This is the first thing that makes people a little awkward.

In addition, Park Ji-sung's back number in Manchester United is the number 7 worn by Beckham before, which is the second interesting point.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem? It seems that he sensed the slightest hesitation of Park Ji-sung. Li Jingyuan stimulated: "Brother, you don't think Beckham is too famous." Will steal your limelight, right? ”

"No, it's not ......"

"Hehe, don't worry, brother." Moderation is the right thing, Li Jingyuan didn't say it again, but analyzed it from a different angle: "If Beckham can come to the game, he will definitely attract a lot of audiences, even if it's for the sake of money, he should be invited." ”

"I didn't say I wouldn't invite him, can't you kid listen to me?" After coming and going, Park Ji-sung felt a little embarrassed, and after yelling at Li Jingyuan, he continued: "The matter of inviting Beckham will be left to you, you can ask for me first, and then I will call him to formally invite him." ”

After talking for a while and putting forward a lot of lists, Park Ji-sung gradually had a rough plan in his heart. In the second half of the conversation, he changed the topic and asked Li Jingyuan about his thoughts on creating momentum.

The purpose of the tournament is to raise charity funds and promote the sport of football, so the greater the impact of the tournament, the better. In order to do this, in addition to starting with the players, there are also some other off-field promotional work.

"Hehe, brother, you can be regarded as punctual this time." Rubbing his nose, Li Jingyuan said his plan: "I think, you can come to participate in a variety show, such as "RunningMan" is very good." ”

That's right, this is Li Jingyuan's plan. Park Ji-sung has participated in two shows in history, in 2012 and 2013, to promote the charity competition he organized. In that case, why can't you invite him in advance? Since the first charity competition, Park Ji-sung has been allowed to participate in the show, and the publicity effect cannot be lower than in history, right?

"Participating in the show? "RunningMan", I know, is the show you regularly participate in now, right? Sure enough, he watched the show to pass the time when he had nothing to do, Park Ji-sung was really familiar with the results of Korean variety shows, and as soon as he heard the name of Lee Kyung-won, he knew which show it was.

"Well, this show is very popular now, if you are willing to participate in the show, it will definitely play a great role in publicity. Moreover, can we also hang up the website of the charity fund when the program is broadcast, and call on the viewers to make donations, isn't it a double thing? ”

"Also, can you get a few members of our show to substitute for the competition, isn't that also a gimmick? We also have a lot of fans in Japan, so if we let the members come on as substitutes, we might be able to attract Japanese fans to buy tickets to watch the game. ”

"Also, as long as you are willing to participate in the show, it is equivalent to having a relationship with the entertainment industry, then I can make this competition even bigger."

"Pull a Korean artist to cheer for our team, and then find a Japanese artist to cheer for the opponent, not to mention anything else, South Korea's most popular Girls' Generation and Kara, Japan's most popular AKB48 I can pull, if you let them help promote it, do you think how many fans will go to watch the game then?"

"At the end of the day, during the intermission, can we still arrange for these artists to do a series of performances, isn't that also a good gimmick? I guess maybe a small number of people will buy tickets to watch the game just for the halftime performance. ”

Li Jingyuan's words were not only heard clearly by Park Ji-sung, but also by the girls who stayed by his side. Yoona and Hyoyeon are both regular members of "RunningMan", so after listening to Lee Kyung-won's words, the two of them also followed and persuaded Park Ji-sung to agree to an invitation to participate in a shoot.

"Okay, I agreed, but the exact time is still uncertain, I'll call you when I have an eyebrow here." couldn't stand Yun'er's coquettishness, Park Ji-sung agreed to the invitation after thinking about it for a while. Well, once again, Park Ji-sung is really a qualified fan of the girl group. (To be continued.) )
