Chapter 324 The first meeting with Maradona

Chapter 323 The first meeting with Maradona

There is no need to use the stadium for this advertisement. Puma’s advertisement shooting is in London, which saves Lin Yi a lot of traveling.

Lin Yi is a person with a very professional attitude. Puma gives him so much money every year and works so hard to help him with so many things. Naturally, Lin Yi has to cooperate with their publicity.

At 1:14 am on January 10th, he arrived at the studio in London. This is the second collaboration between him and Jacques Sean.This time, Sean's attitude towards Ji Dong became much more friendly. He arrived in London yesterday, and he watched the live broadcast of the England National Derby at the hotel. He was completely conquered by Ji Dong. In addition, Lin Yi gave him such good inspiration in the last commercial. Now the commercial he shot will definitely become a classic, so he is very enthusiastic about Lin Yi.

Lin Yi came first, so it was natural to shoot Lin Yi's solo part first. After more than an hour, Lin Yi's personal part had been filmed, but the other main character, Maradona, hadn't arrived yet.So he can only wait!

It can be seen that Sean is very upset. He hates actors being late, especially if they are late for so long. If this is an ordinary role, he would have replaced him directly, but if the opponent is Maradona, he can only wait patiently.

After waiting for half an hour, it was already 12:[-] noon. At this time, the crew and Ji Dong were a little hungry, so everyone decided to eat first.

Since you are on the set, there are nine times out of ten that you eat boxed lunches. This rule is the same no matter whether it is Chinese or foreign.Although the class does not exist verbally, it definitely has its traces everywhere.

The working meals of ordinary staff are takeaways from ordinary restaurants in London, while Lin Yi and Ding Weijie, Jacques Sean and Puma executives all have other meals, and Lin Yi even saw chefs making food on the spot.

Ji Dong watched the chef's performance, and it seemed that he was the chef from a certain star restaurant.When it was over, the chef asked Lin Yi to sign his autograph. Lin Yi naturally agreed, and even took the initiative to take a photo with him.

But Ji Dong was very surprised that the other man dressed as a chef stayed in the corner without saying a word, looking disappointed.

"Who's that, John?"

While eating, Ji Dong asked the person in charge of Puma who was in charge of shooting this advertisement.

"It was an Argentinian griller who was supposed to serve Maradona, but unfortunately he didn't have the chance. Maradona was arriving later today, so he just came over after lunch, so the poor Argentine couldn't see his idol."

It turned out that he was depressed because he couldn't see his idol. This poor barbecue chef must have imagined many kinds of idols eating the meat he relied on and then praising himself.But it's a pity that the idol's casual lateness made him lose his chance to be the closest to an idol in his life.

After Ji Yi and the others finish their meal, the venue will be cleared, which means that he passed by Maradona, and it will be an extremely cruel day for this roaster.

After Ji Dong finished his food, he got up and went to the chef who cooked for him. This guy's steak was really good.Then Ji Dong walked towards the Argentinian chef.

"Hey, buddy, can you leave a contact number for me, although I'm not often in London, but I can introduce my friends to patronize you, and we have a lot of away games in London, you know, there are too many teams in London."

"Thank you, Lin. But let me explain in advance that I am a Boca Juniors fan. In terms of players, I admire Maradona and Messi, so I don't admit that I am your fan."

Hearing this fan's words, Lin Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed. He didn't expect this roaster to be so straightforward, but just because of this straightforwardness, Lin Yi believed that he must be an interesting person.

"Okay, but I hope you can give me a discount next time I go."

"Of course, that's for sure, as long as you agree to let me hang the photo on the wall, I'll give you a face sheet!"

For this request, celebrities will generally agree, and no one will ask for endorsement fees. There are such restaurants with celebrities hanging all over the world.

"No problem, I promise!"

Sure enough, the poor roaster didn't get his faith in the end.

The time for Maradona to enter the studio was 14:00 in the afternoon. At that time, everyone was already a little impatient.

Lin Yi's first impression of the world-recognized football champion was actually not very good. Being late and making everyone wait is very rude in itself.Moreover, Maradona just appeared on the stage with 4 bodyguards and two assistants, which made Lin Yi, who has been walking alone so far, not used to it.

However, Maradona is a familiar person. When he saw Ji Dong from afar, he opened his arms and shouted loudly.

"Lin, my dear friend, I finally see you!"

friend?still dear?Although Ji Dong is used to western etiquette, to be honest, he is still a little uncomfortable with such dramatic lines.But he didn't reach out to hit the smiling person, not to mention that the other party was a super senior and the partner of this advertisement, so Lin Yi also reached out to hug the king of the ball.

"I am your fan Diego, and today I have fulfilled one of my childhood dreams."

Anyone who has watched Maradona's performance at the stadium should become his fans. Lin Yi is not wrong to say this, and he even imitated the opponent's skills when practicing dribbling.It is not against his will to say that it is his fan Lin Yi!
"Oh yeah, that would be great!
I'm really sorry, I'm from Russia, the flight was delayed due to heavy snow, I'm sorry to make you wait so long. "

There was no need for Maradona to lie about this kind of thing, and with his status in the world, he didn't need to explain even if he was late. From this explanation, Ji Dong understood Maradona's respect for him.

"It's okay Diego, you don't mind if I call you that! You are worth everyone's waiting!"

"Of course, that's what you call it. I like you to be casual, Lin. Speaking of which, I haven't been to China for a while, and I miss the food there. When it comes to food, I'm hungry. You know, I didn't even eat lunch. The Russian plane food is not good at all. Haha!"

When Maradona said this, he surprised Puma's on-site director John. He just learned from Maradona's team that he would be late, and the other party said he would come for lunch.If I had known it earlier, I wouldn’t have let that poor roaster go. If Maradona was going to eat now, it would be troublesome, at least nothing could be done today.

"Why don't you go to eat something, Diego, as far as I know, most of your shots are edited when you didn't retire, so you don't have many scenes."

It doesn't matter to Ji Dong, anyway, there will be an extra day off from Ferguson tomorrow, at worst, he will live in London today.

"Forget it, I'll lose weight at the time, I'd better hurry up and get to work, you know so many people are waiting to get off work. As you said, I don't have many shots anyway, let's eat after I'm done."

Unexpectedly, things were different from what Ji Dong thought. Maradona was very reasonable, which was completely different from the arrogant Diego reported by the media.

So the studio was busy again, makeup, changing clothes, and then shooting.Maradona's efficiency is very high, he is very confident in front of the camera, and this is also because he is a person who is naturally confident.

Even the great director Jacques Sean had nothing to say about Maradona's performance.After finishing the personal ones, Maradona and Lin Yi teamed up to shoot the rest.

Lin Yi thinks the plot is connected with the content of the previous season, which is very interesting. I believe it will cause a new sensation when the time comes. Even Lin Yi himself is looking forward to the film.

"Dear Diego, to be honest, you are completely different from the idol I imagined. I have gained a lot today."

"Thank you, I didn't expect that there are players like you who are straightforward and fit my taste among the new generation of players. I am optimistic about you!"

"Haha, thank you! Do you know that when you said I liked you, I was very glad that you were not Mr. Bailey, otherwise I would definitely consider changing careers!"

Maradona didn't expect Ji Dong to respond to his praise like this, but this satisfied him more than any answer.The whole world knows that the two champions do not fight each other, and they do not accept each other in private. Now Lin Yi uses Pele's crow's mouth to tease him, which makes Maradona feel like he has found a comrade in arms.

"Haha, you are so funny, Lin. To be honest, I am very satisfied with everything about you except that you are not Argentinian."

"Sorry, Diego, I love my country, and I can't satisfy you with that. But if you don't mind, I think we can satisfy your stomach. I know a good Argentinian barbecue restaurant, although I have never had an Argentine barbecue."

"Then what are you waiting for, go ahead, I guarantee you will fall in love with this food."

So a group of people rushed towards the barbecue restaurant, and Lin Yi felt that he had done a good deed, which was a good news for that fan. He didn't know if he would give up Messi and support himself, but this might be difficult.

On the way, Messi and Ji Dong were in a car, and the two chatted very speculatively, so the topics became more and more casual.

"Why do you think Messi is not tall enough?"

Maradona is very curious about this point. The whole world is boasting that Messi is the first in history, but Lin Yi has denied this view more than once in the media.

"The reason is very simple. Messi's national team performance is really not good. No matter how successful a player club is, if it can't help its own national team to succeed, I don't think it is a success.

Of course, this does not affect the greatness of Messi, he is also one of the greatest players on the planet, but compared to you, Pele, and Beckenbauer, he is still a little bit worse.

However, if he can really lead the Argentines to the Hercules Cup, I think your throne is really in danger. "

Ji Dong didn't flatter casually, he just expressed his own point of view. For a person like Maradona, he listened to too much flattery, and speaking the truth like this is what he loves most.

"Hahaha, thank you for your compliment, but I agree with one of your points of view. It is an honor to play for the national team, and players should follow it unconditionally.

Messi's problem is that he lacks that kind of desperate spirit for the national team's game, and he is too casual about things like quitting the national team.

In the past, Messi listened to me very much. Of course, what I said was not all right, but I thought I would not harm him.But as Messi's achievements are getting higher and higher, now my influence on him is very small.

Now Messi listens to his agent's father in everything. The old Messi is committed to making Messi a noble gentleman and a perfect football king.From this point of view, I appreciate the Portuguese more, he can at least send and receive freely, and he is truly himself.

I don't comment on Messi's right or wrong, everyone's choice is different, maybe we are the ones who are wrong! "

Maradona's speech was very jumpy and scattered, but Ji Dong understood what he meant. To sum it up, Maradona advocated the true self. He felt that Messi was over-packaged, which affected the higher level he could have achieved.

Talking to Maradona is very easy, you can talk about any topic, there are no taboos, and Maradona is also an old urchin, did he say a few dirty words, which made Ji Dong feel very real, he is not like the mythical Maradona at all.

Unknowingly, a mighty group of people got into a luxuriously decorated Argentinian barbecue restaurant.

Since Maradona was not tall, four bodyguards and everyone surrounded him, and Lin Yi walked in the front to attract everyone's attention, so no one recognized Maradona.

The British usually eat late for dinner, so Lin Yi and the others came relatively early, and there were not many people in the restaurant, so they didn't cause much commotion.Of course, if this is Manchester or Liverpool, it's another matter.

That poor roaster is the owner of the shop. He heard that Lin Yi was coming and came out to receive him himself.Lin Yi said that none of his group knew how to bake, so he hoped that he would go to the box to serve him in person, and if he did well, he would give him extra rewards.

The roaster thought about getting Ji Dong's photo later, so he readily agreed.It's just that when he walked into the box and saw the curly-haired fat man with reflective skin, he almost fainted on the spot, as if he was in a daze.

……

The barbecue tasted good. Ji Dong ate a skewer of roast beef, a skewer of roast lamb, and half a roasted pineapple.But Ji Dong felt that it was not as good as the barbecue he ate on the streets of Chengdu. However, seeing Maradona's unrestrained eating, Lin Yi could only say what the best barbecue.

Ji Dong originally agreed to Maradona's treat for this meal, but the owner was willing to accept it. He accepted Maradona's signed jersey and took a photo with his idol. Now it doesn't matter if he eats ten more barbecues.

So in the end, Lin Yi still owed Maradona a barbecue. In the end, Lin Yi promised to have the opportunity to take him to eat Chinese barbecue.

After drinking and eating, Lin Yi and Maradona hugged and bid farewell at the entrance of the barbecue shop, which excited the paparazzi who came to stay here. This is another big news!

　It's my birthday today, so I continue to use this reason to ask for tickets. After all, I only get one chance a year, so don't worry about it!
