Chapter 189: Chapter 188 Oscar Nomination, The Lost Hathaway?
Additionally, inside the "Avengers Alliance," victims of Deng Kai were communicating with each other.
Robben: "I’ve said it before, he simply can’t dribble!"
Fan Peixi: "A bicycle kick that could be done with closed eyes, has he been learning from the stiff dribbling of that C Ronaldo?"
Van Der Vaart: "I can’t believe I lost to such a crude player, twice!"
Iniesta: "But his fried meatballs are clearly six worse than mine!"
Torres: "Yeah, I saw him use the Marseille Turn not too long ago."
Cech: "I really hope he continues to attempt bicycle kicks like this one when he shoots against me in the future!"
Sneijder: "I thought he was just like me, not fond of flashy techniques, but it turns out... he mainly just can’t do them."
Lahm: "If such players can defeat Germany’s youth training, there’s no hope for the German team."
Last year’s Golden Ball winner Zidane said with a veiled smile, "I haven’t watched that video too many times. I think every player has such embarrassing moments. We shouldn’t laugh at him; it might affect his imagination on the pitch... haha... But even if he succeeded with the bicycle kick, it would still look bad. I personally wouldn’t recommend fans to imitate it."
Due to a bit of old resentment, Ronaldo was very direct: "Seriously, Deng Kai, if you predict that our Internazionale could win the Champions League this year, I can teach you some dribbling skills. How about the pendulum feint—oh no, pendulum grappling? Even if you tried it, it would definitely turn into pendulum grappling! Hahaha!"
For a while, Deng Kai became a synonym for players with "crude skills."
He snatched the label of the future German star from Muller.
Compared with football media and North American media, The Sun Newspaper was the place to go.
The Sun Newspaper: "Deng Kai previously performed bicycle kicks with elegance and grace, so this overturning incident must be due to weak legs. But his stamina has always been good, and he’s shone in overtime play, so what could be causing the normally fit Deng Kai to become increasingly thin?"
"Therefore, we have ample reason to suspect that Deng Kai and Hathaway have tasted the forbidden fruit! But since neither of them has reached the legal age for cohabitation, once the evidence is definitive, they may be controlled and educated by a youth admonition institution, for up to a week!"
!!!
When Ronaldo saw this news, he was almost driven mad.
No!
Could it be that Deng Kai became a man before me, the great C Ronaldo!
Impossible!
But Ronaldo dared not ask Deng Kai about it himself.
After all, what if Deng Kai said yes?
Then wouldn’t I, Ronaldo, be forever defeated?
Normally, The Sun Newspaper’s unreliable gossip news is something only someone like Ronaldo would take seriously.
But the timing they chose was just too perfect.
It was hard not to become famous.
The day after The Sun Newspaper questioned whether Deng Kai and Hathaway had tasted the forbidden fruit, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences of the United States announced the nominations for this year’s Oscars.
The Princess Diaries, which was released at the end of last year, had a splendid run.
The North American box office final tally was two hundred and nine million US dollars, ranking it fifth in the 1999 North American box office chart.
It was followed by well-known films such as The Matrix, The Mummy, and The Blair Witch Project, amongst others with star-studded casts.
With such proud achievements, The Princess Diaries garnered a nomination for Best Picture at the Oscars.
Gary Marshall was also nominated for the Oscars’ Best Director for the film.
The actress who played the queen, Oscar-winning Julie Andrews, was nominated for the Oscars’ Best Supporting Actress.
And Anne Hathaway, filming for the first time, not only became the campus goddess of North America but also secured a nomination for the Oscars’ Best Actress for her impressive performance in the film.
It’s well known that Hollywood can create gods, and this year, Hathaway is that lucky guy.
Any news related to Hathaway is bound to explode in click rates.
Even the character card likes for Hathaway are about to surpass Deng Kai.
How could The Sun Newspaper’s news not be hot at this time?
Hathaway’s agent was frantically trying to quash the rumors.
This kind of negative news has a significant impact on Hathaway’s award evaluations.
Fortunately, Deng Kai took the lead in clarifying, "Making mistakes on the football field is very normal, and it has nothing to do with my physical condition. The Sun Newspaper’s conclusion is somewhat presumptuous, and I hope everyone remembers that it’s just an entertainment publication with a severe lack of authenticity."
"Hathaway and I are good friends, and we’ve both been busy with our own careers recently. We haven’t seen each other for several months, so it’s not even possible to be in the situation The Sun Newspaper has fabricated."
Deng Kai’s clarification was forceful.
Once he spoke up, it was easier for Hathaway to respond.
Hathaway then graciously commented in front of the media, "Thank you all for overestimating me, especially The Sun Newspaper, but sadly, up to this point, my relationship with Kai has not developed that far."
"If he really became my boyfriend, then within the limits of the law, I would certainly be more considerate of his body."
"After all, he’s a professional athlete, and his physique is fundamental to his career. A good partner wouldn’t ruin the other’s career or health."
"Regarding the development of my relationship with Kai, I suggest everyone primarily follow our social media accounts. Because if there were any breakthrough, I’d want to tell the whole world myself, rather than through The Sun Newspaper."
Hathaway’s statement was very bold.
The agent wanted her to deny the rumors, to take the opportunity to clear her relationship with Deng Kai, and to devote herself entirely to the Oscars voting campaign.
Who knew Hathaway did indeed deny the rumors, but it would have been better if she hadn’t.
Just listen to those fierce and aggressive words she said in the interview.
Do you really need to be that proactive?
A woman, expressing her emotions like this anywhere, would attract criticism and make people think you’re a bad girl.
The agent had already started to think about the termination agreements for the several endorsements signed before.
And indeed, that’s what happened.
Hathaway’s endorsements almost all dropped overnight.
Her career reached its peak after the Oscar nomination and then plummeted instantly to rock bottom.
Investors collectively believed that Hathaway’s actions had completely tarnished her screen image.
After all, she was the campus goddess.
Youthful, cute, naive, kind, beautiful, and reserved.
These were the qualities she should have portrayed.
Not the bold pursuit of love that she expressed.
North American authoritative media outlets voiced their criticism of Hathaway one after another.
"The lost Hathaway! Fame at a young age always leads to a hot head!"
"Hathaway disrespects her fans, and the rules of becoming a star, and she’s destined to be abandoned by the industry."
"No one will pay for such a Hathaway, at least I won’t!"
"Hathaway faces consecutive endorsement contract terminations, her commercial value approaches zero."
