103 The Benefits of Reading Novels [Third Explosion, Asking for a Monthly Pass]
After beating Schalke 04 3-0, Kaiserslautern ushered in a six-day preparation period, so Yang Cheng decided that on the second day after playing Schalke 04, the team will have a day off, so that the players can rest well and prepare for the next Bundesliga 5th round away against Bochum.
This Bochum is very different from the Bochum team that met with Yang Cheng in terms of strength, although players such as Stickroos and Watts are still in the team and play a key role, but the other positions of the team have introduced many powerful stars, and the overall strength of the team has been greatly strengthened, and last season it won the 5th place in the league and entered the UEFA Cup.
However, the team's overall technical and tactical style has not changed much, it is still dominated by technical play, but the defense is as tragic as ever, especially as Stickroos gradually ages, and the inability to bring in the right players, resulting in a serious decline in the team's defense, and this season's results have also suffered.
But it's easy to buy players, and it doesn't happen overnight to change a team's technical and tactical style, so Bochum is still sticking to its own technical and tactical style.
Whenever he thinks of the Bochum team, Yang Cheng can't help but think of Barcelona.
At first glance, these two teams are indeed not comparable, after all, one is a giant, the other is a midstream team, but they both adhere to their own technical and tactical style, but Barcelona because of the relationship between the giants, so they can always spend money to bring in players to fill the gaps in the squad, but Bochum does not have the financial resources and attraction in this regard.
In this way, Barcelona can persevere, and has been praised as wise by countless later generations; However, Bochum's persistence was ridiculed by the fans because of its poor results, and even reduced to a lift, which was called stupid stubbornness.
Yang Cheng was a Real Madrid fan in his previous life, although he and Barcelona are mortal enemies, but he will not blindly attack Barcelona, and even he admires Barcelona's achievements to a certain extent, but it is undeniable that Barcelona's success is unique, and his persistence is difficult to replicate.
It is precisely because he knows the advantages and disadvantages of Bochum's skills and tactics that when Yang Cheng once again ushered in the first opponent of his first professional league game, he played with the main force and used the midfield as the key point of the battle.
Although it was an away game, Kaiserslautern dominated the game from the start, firmly controlling the situation with an aggressive attacking style of play, keeping Bochum at bay and scoring goals quickly.
"It's Fanny again...... Dutchman Luther? Van Nistelrooy! ”
With an exclamation from the on-site commentator, everyone immediately knew that Vanney had scored again!
The crazy Dutchman seemed to be scoring uncontrollably, scoring in every round except for the third round when he didn't play, even in back-to-back Carabao Cup before the season.
"In the 38th minute, Ruud van Nistelrooy stabbed Denilson's cross at the left post in the penalty area and broke the Bochum goal!"
This match looks to have been picked up by Kaiserslautern for victory.
But what I didn't expect was that in the 47th minute stoppage time, Lucio was too sticky after a forward insertion, and after being cut off, Watts was plugged straight behind him, and Kyle had no time to block the opponent's counterattack, so he could only watch the team's goalless goal this season break down, 1:1!
But at halftime, instead of scolding, Yang Cheng encouraged Lucio, but advised the Brazilian that it is a tactical requirement to dribble forward, but it is not blind, as the last barrier of the defensive line, he must estimate the risk brought by the forward insertion, and ensure the team's backline.
After that, Yang Cheng encouraged the players to continue to work hard, and in the second half, they must continue to maintain the morale and state of the first half, and win the opponent in one go.
At the start of the second half, Kaiserslautern gave the signal to attack.
In the 49th minute, after receiving a pass from Veron outside the penalty area, Vanney turned and shot from a distance, but the ball was saved by the Bochum goalkeeper, but Schneider had a keen sense of smell and pasted it in time to shoot before everyone else and expand the score again.
Kaiserslautern then went on a furious attack and Bochum was forced to retreat, especially when Kaiserslautern scored three goals in the 55th, 61st and 69th minutes through Denilson, Nedved and Ballack.
After that, the game completely turned into garbage time, Yang Cheng made substitutions and adjustments one after another, and Kaiserslautern firmly guaranteed the score.
Defeated Bochum 5:1 away, Kaiserslautern still firmly controlled the position of the league leader, but after a period of turmoil, Bayern Munich also recovered one after another, and this round defeated Rostock 3:1 away, with 5 games, 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, accumulating 10 points, ranking second in the league.
Kaiserslautern is at the top of the league table with an impressive record of 5 games, 4 wins and 1 draw.
It is followed by Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Werder Bremen and other teams with a larger score gap, but they have all faintly shown signs of opening up the gap with Kaiserslautern and Bayern Munich, especially Bayer Leverkusen and Dortmund, these two teams are one loss and one draw in this round, and their performance is very average.
Yang Cheng never expected such a situation, he played game after game, before he set the team the goal of the top of the league, it is best to strive for the Champions League, to ensure the qualification of the League Cup, but after 5 rounds, Kaiserslautern became the leader of the league with a 3-point advantage.
But Yang Cheng knows in his heart that the current Kaiserslautern team is too young, and it may not be a good thing to be out of shape too early, and there is a lot of pressure to be the league leader, if he can't deal with this situation carefully, it is likely to lead to the collapse of the team, and it will be difficult to clean up when the morale is exhausted.
Therefore, on the one hand, Yang Cheng used the achievement points gained since the league to purchase services from the super coach assistance system to improve the team's morale and ensure the state of the players, and on the other hand, he did everything possible to help the players adjust their state and reduce their pressure from various channels.
Especially before the disbandment of the team, Yang Cheng told every player not to be optimistic, and never mentioned the leader and champion in the face of the media.
"I want you to understand and remember, no matter how high we are in the league standings and how good the team is, we have only one identity this season, a promoted horse, we are just a promoted horse, if you forget this, then we will only return to the Bundesliga, are you willing to go back to the nightmare of the Bundesliga?"
The players immediately shook their heads, and it was definitely torture for players who were used to the Bundesliga to return to the Bundesliga.
"Then let's not forget who we are, we have only one goal this season, to make sure the team is relegated, and then we can think about fighting for a better position!"
Yang Cheng's words seemed very serious, and the players' emotions have indeed been a little flustered recently, so he felt it was necessary to wake up these guys who were starting to become optimistic.
…………
…………
The players left Tilingen again and went to report to the national team.
After two consecutive rounds of excellent performances, the number of internationals in Kaiserslautern suddenly increased.
At the back, Kosch and Kehl were selected for the German national team, Kifu was included in the Romanian national team, and in midfield, Veron, Ballack, Nedved, Deisler, Denilson, Schneider, Salihamidzic were all selected for the national team, and Van Nistelrooy was selected for the attack.
Larsson took a leave of absence from the Swedish national team due to his wife's labor, and remained with his wife in Kaiserslautern.
The day after the team disbanded, Bruckheimer, who was far away in Hollywood, called Yang Cheng.
"Finally lived up to your expectations!" Bruckheimer on the phone laughed excitedly.
When Yang Cheng heard this hearty laughter, he knew that there was a play in his script, so he asked, "How is it?" ”
"Disney is very interested in you, and the studio has agreed to make the film with us in full responsibility, and has a budget of $60 million for the shooting, and the script will cost $2 million, as long as you sign a rights agreement with them, you will pay for it."
Yang Cheng was very happy when he heard this, and with the $2 million, his plan was settled.
But after thinking about it, Yang Cheng suddenly guessed that Bruckheimer must have given him great help in this matter, otherwise, with his qualifications, no matter how good the script is, Disney will not be able to pay such a high fee.
Yang Cheng's idea is right, one reason why Disney is willing to pay such a high copyright fee is that Yang Cheng's script is really good, and the other reason is that they value the shooting quality of Bruckheimer Films, because Yang Cheng insists, so the film can only be produced by Bruckheimer, and Disney is very confident in him.
This is equivalent to Yang Cheng is a fox and a fake tiger!
"By the way, Jerry, then you are the producer......"
Bruckheimer's heart warmed, Yang Cheng was able to think of him at this time, proving that Yang Cheng is indeed a good friend who values love and righteousness and is worthy of deep friendship, if Yang Cheng just throws himself out of the clouds as soon as he hears about making money, then the little favor that he finally won in front of Bruckheimer will be gone.
"Don't worry, Disney has decided to hand over the responsibility to our company, I still have a lot of details to discuss with you.xzsj8.good to discuss, we are under great pressure, the investment is so large, we must make a successful work!" It sounds like Bruckheimer is still a little unconfident.
But Yang Cheng was extremely optimistic, "Don't worry, Jerry, I have full confidence in you, this movie will not only be a blockbuster, maybe there will be a chance to win an award!" ”
Bruckheimer laughed, thinking that Yang Cheng was encouraging himself.
"Did I contact David before? Finch, he was originally going to shoot a work of his own, but after reading the script I sent, he immediately decided to shoot this one first. Norton, the Yale graduate who became an instant hit with the film, heard that David? After Finch agreed to take over the filming, he immediately expressed his willingness to participate. ”
Yang Cheng was excited after hearing this, he knew Edward very well? The kind of breath in Norton, he must be able to play the male protagonist Bruce? Willis's role, the other child star, he decided to follow the original plan and arrange the one in his previous life to play, because his performance at that time was impeccable.
With David? Finch and Edward? With the addition of Norton, Yang Cheng is convinced that this movie will be better than the previous life.
If this movie is a big hit, his influence will also increase, and with the revenue share of DVDs, then he will definitely be able to make a lot of money from it.
"The other script was favored by DreamWorks, Steve? Spielberg was so impressed with the script that he offered to buy the film for $2 million, the same price Disney paid at the box office, and he said he could convince Tom? Hanks starred in the film. ”
After Yang Cheng heard this, he was so excited that he wanted to shout, because he knew very well the charm of these two movies, they were definitely the type of big sales, if he really shot according to the current plan, wouldn't it mean that he wanted to make a lot of money?
However, he knows that the environment in Hollywood, although it has been agreed now, it may not be able to be fulfilled, after all, there are many aspects to consider when making a movie, such as investment, schedule, budget, etc., so the agreement negotiated now may have to be changed in the future.
But the only thing that has not changed is that as long as Yang Cheng goes to the United States and signs the agreement, he can immediately get 4 million US dollars in his account, which is indeed a long drought for Yang Cheng, who is in urgent need of money recently.
I've been thirsty for a long time, and when I see the water, I can't believe it, especially the $4 million, just because of a few of my movie scripts, it's inevitably too dreamlike.
So in order to avoid long nights and dreams, and to reassure himself, Yang Cheng immediately rushed to the United States, first went to meet Spielberg accompanied by Bruckheimer, and the three of them also made an appointment to meet Tom? Hanks, the two sides hit it off, Tom? Hanks was full of praise for Yang Cheng's script, saying that he would participate in the show when the schedule was suitable.
After that, Yang Cheng formally signed an agreement with DreamWorks, and DreamWorks wanted to find another partner for investment considerations, while 21st Century Fox approached Bruckheimer, who recommended the film company, and quickly established an investment with a budget of $100 million.
This is definitely a number that shocked Yang Cheng and even he didn't dare to believe it, but now it really appeared.
In addition, the people on the 21st Century Fox side are very optimistic about the two scripts written by Yang Cheng, and hope that the scripts written by Yang Cheng in the future will be given priority to submitting to them.
"Whether it's a TV or movie script, or even a creative idea like Flyover and American Idol, we're interested in working with you!" A representative of Fox assured.
Yang Cheng smiled, originally planned to agree on the spot, and then take out all the survival in his mind, but Heidi beside him? Krum secretly tugged at his clothes, and the nouveau riche, who was almost frightened by the sudden luck, realized that he would consider it.
"Wrote two movie scripts worth 2 million in a row, your current value is definitely not as good as before, no matter what the box office of these two movies will be in the future, the price of your script will definitely increase, and at this time you will suffer a loss by agreeing to cooperate with 21st Century Fox!" Sent off the representative of 21st Century Fox, Heidi? Krum looked like a housekeeper, and he was very considerate of Yang Cheng.
"Heidi is right, waiting for the price to sell is the ideal way for independent filmmakers to survive!" Bruckheimer agrees.
Yang Cheng suddenly felt embarrassed, he was indeed inferior to these two people in this regard, but he was also secretly glad in his heart that he had these two confidantes and a heart-to-heart New Year's friend to trust.
Don't you know, Heidi? The reason why Krum and Bruckheimer helped him was more because Yang Cheng had put his heart to them before, so now they are just repaying the favor.
Moreover, for Bruckheimer Film Company, being able to participate in the production of these two films at the same time, Bruckheimer can become the producer of these two works that are almost a hit, whether it is an individual or a company, and its influence in Hollywood will be greatly improved.
And all this is just brought about by the two scripts written by Yang Cheng "casually"!
"At present, Fox has also decided to participate in the production of the draft, and when these projects are set up separately, they will invite you to the press conference, and if you have time, you may as well write more scripts, make extra money, and take advantage of this trend to establish yourself in the field of Hollywood screenwriting!" Bruckheimer is an old fritter in Hollywood, and he knows how to hype and publicity.
Yang Cheng nodded convincingly, and he began to think about what movie he should plagiarize next.
In the next two days, Yang Cheng completed the signing with Disney, so that the $4 million was fully credited after paying taxes.
As soon as he took the money, Yang Cheng deposited all of it into the stock trading account, but it was divided into two parts, one part was put into operation, and the remaining part was kept in the account for emergencies, and then he began to remotely control his account in Germany to make money in the US stock market.
Now Soros is wreaking havoc in Asia with a large number of international financial speculators, and Yang Cheng has seen relevant data in many places in his previous life, knowing that Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan and other Asian countries have been attacked and collapsed.
I have read a lot of novels in his previous life, and Yang Cheng is also very impressed by what will happen next, so since he opened an account in the United States, he has been watching the stock market every day and found that there is no difference with his impression of his previous life.
In other words, everything you see in will be fulfilled in the future.
"It seems that green novels can also come in handy at critical moments!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
So he began to follow the memories of his previous life, in the way of losing less and winning more, following the army of stock market crocodiles such as Soros in Asia.
Focusing on the stock market, coupled with the fact that in the two weeks of late August and early September, the rupiah was exploded by international financial speculators, Yang Cheng made a lot of money here, where can he take care of anything else, he simply handed over the task of scouting players to Paul? Bayer.
By the time the $4 million in his account turned into $15 million, he was almost so happy that he wanted to quit his job as head coach of Kaiserslautern and live on the stock market.
But fortunately, this kid is not a guy who is easily carried away, so he is very clear that his main business is football, the stock market, screenwriters and whatever, are all interests and part-time jobs outside football, but even so, he still took out a large part of the money to invest in Internet technology stocks in the United States, and specially selected some companies with more potential to invest, after all, before 2000, such stocks could bring him huge wealth.
And the day before the 6th round of the league reopened, Yang Cheng, Paul? Beyer, Bremer and several others went to the hospital en masse.
