Chapter 461: Chapter 460: The British Rose Comes to Seek Accountability
After explaining, Zhang Weiping significantly lowered his opinion of He Wei in his heart. The kid asked for advice yet didn’t listen attentively, displaying an indifferent attitude. No wonder he was kicked over here from the other side.
"By the way, He Wei, you’ve worked with Xiao Huang before, right... do you have his phone number... Then great, give me his number later. I’ll ask him to talk to the leaders and see if he can transfer me to football; the NBA is really too cold, and literally no one watches it..."
He Wei: ???
...
"Ding! You’ve obtained the star drop ’Bogkamp’s Ballet Certificate’."
"Bogkamp’s Ballet Certificate: There are many ways to control a ball, but only one elegant way. Bogkamp’s control makes ballet dancers feel inferior, as if he holds a professional certificate."
"Ball control +3, dribbling +2. Your no-stop shooting ability has been enhanced. When you receive the ball, the football’s rebound force will be reduced, and the rebound distance will decrease by twenty centimeters, allowing perfect control within a twenty-centimeter range."
Arsenal is generous, and Bogkamp won Deng Kai’s admiration.
From now on, this Dutchman who can’t fly became Deng Kai’s trusted ally.
After all, controlling the ball can be considered Bogkamp’s unique skill.
This person is truly honest.
What’s the strongest part about this drop?
"Within twenty centimeters, you can achieve perfect control!"
What does perfect control mean?
It’s like Marcelo’s instep trapping.
And now that he owns "Bogkamp’s Ballet Certificate," when Deng Kai receives the ball, a control that would not exceed twenty centimeters in a normal situation will now show absolutely no bounce at all.
At this moment, it seemed as if the laws of physics had disappeared under Deng Kai’s feet.
This could bring more possibilities to Deng Kai’s passing and dribbling.
As Lisbon’s "One Star, Six Arrows" tactic shined brightly in this match, more and more teams paid attention to Deng Kai’s quick passing and shooting.
Ordinary teams might notice, but they might not be able to counter it effectively.
But the teams still in the Champions League, whether from a tactical or player strength perspective, were capable of targeting Deng Kai.
Deng Kai’s no-stop fast passing wasn’t as powerful as it seemed to the outside world.
On one hand was the issue of pass precision, which had improved with skills like the "Commander After Tackle" and other pass-boosting abilities.
The second issue was the excessive speed of the ball, which was unsolvable, but if his forwards were skilled shooters, they could adapt and handle it.
The third was that no-stop fast passing itself was a solution based on the assumption that Deng Kai’s basic control skills were lacking.
Now that his controlling was outstanding, integrating stopping, controlling, dribbling, and passing, his unique move was no longer just super-fast passing.
Instead, it was "super-fast passing" + "volley shooting" + "stop and dribble through."
Perfect control not only enhanced the former two but also was a crucial prerequisite for the latter.
Beep beep beep!
Deng Kai’s phone rang.
He looked, it was Beckham calling.
"Hello, Coach Beckham," Deng Kai activated the speakerphone.
"Hey, Deng Kai, weren’t you being a bit unfair? I was counting on winning the award with the four consecutive Premier League championships, but then you said that Arsenal could beat us, disappointing all the Red Devils," Beckham blurted out.
"You heard wrong, that statement wasn’t from me, it was Yi Yang Qianxi," Deng Kai denied.
"What Red Double Happiness?" Beckham said seriously, "Deng Kai, take this seriously. Sir Alex had me call you."
Only then did Deng Kai clear his throat, "No need for thanks, just send me a few more of Van Nistelrooy’s signed footballs when Sir Alex has time. It’s awkward for me to ask Van Nistelrooy for autographs because of my relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, you know."
Beckham was utterly confused: "What? We still have to thank you?"
Deng Kai said, "Yes! I gave you the correct answers, it’s like an open-book exam, get it? If you still can’t beat Arsenal after this, then losing the league title definitely isn’t my fault, haha."
"Uh, anything else? If not, can we hang up? I still need to go and take Hathaway to the set."
At the mention of this, Beckham perked up, "You brought up Hathaway yourself, Kai. This issue, you and Hathaway really weren’t fair, Keira almost had everything settled with Jerry Bruckheimer and Gore Verbinski."
Beckham was defending his good friend Keira Knightley.
Keira Knightley, born in March 1985, is five months older than Deng Kai.
Her father Will Knightley is an actor, and her mother Sharman Macdonald is a playwright.
Influenced by this, she entered the British entertainment industry early on and starred in her first movie "A Village Affair" in 1995.
In 1999, she played the double for Queen Amidala, Sabe, in the sci-fi action film "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace,"
On December 13, 2001, she co-starred with Thora Birch and Ebon Moss-Bachrach in the mystery thriller "Ghost World," which premiered.
She was called the future English Rose by some fans.
Late last year and earlier this year, she starred alongside Parminder Nagra in the romantic sports movie "Bend It Like Beckham," which is expected to premiere in a month.
So Beckham came to seek justice for Keira.
Because Hathaway cut in line for Keira’s movie opportunities.
Deng Kai just mentioned taking Hathaway to the set, snapping up the role in "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl," becoming a lead alongside Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom.
Orlando Bloom, who played an elf prince in "The Lord of the Rings" last year and had previously worked with Hathaway, supported her joining.
Despite Orlando Bloom having no say in the casting, the prospect of "elven siblings reuniting on a pirate ship" clearly had more appeal than Beckham’s cheerleader-like fans.
"The Lord of the Rings" caused a storm in the Western world last year, rivaling "Harry Potter" and becoming last year’s biggest winner.
It earned a total of 320 million US dollars in the North American region, surpassing "Harry Potter" to become the box office champion of North America.
However, globally "The Lord of the Rings" grossed 890 million US dollars, slightly less than "Harry Potter’s" 974 million US dollars, thus taking the second place globally.
Everyone believed that Hathaway’s box office influence was a key factor for "The Lord of the Rings" topping the charts in North America.
This was even more apparent considering the global box office.
That’s also why "Pirates of the Caribbean" ultimately chose Hathaway over Keira.
But regardless of the objective statements, it was difficult for Keira’s side to accept this.
At the very least, they felt wronged.
Deng Kai was well aware of this, and if he could help Hathaway resolve this conflict, he was willing to make an effort.
Being popular was a double-edged sword; many stars’ reputations suddenly plummet because they unwittingly offend people while handling issues.
