Chapter 110 Roman Holiday
The team chartered a plane back to Rome the next day.
After landing, many fans sang the team song in the reception hall to welcome the triumphant heroes!
Mourinho made a special arrangement to let Wu Lei, who scored the first goal, go first.
Behind them are the players who have played.
Such an intention naturally did not escape the capture of the local media.
Everyone knows that Mourinho is a role model in Nawu Lei, and he hopes that all the players in the team can be as diligent and hardworking as him.
Back at Trigoria's home, Mrs. Wu and Helena worked together to make a dinner to reward the two of them.
However, during the season, Chen Xiaoliang absolutely does not drink alcohol.
Today is August 21st, and the day after tomorrow, August 23rd, we will face Fiorentina in the opening match of Serie A at home.
The whole team knows that if they can win two games in a row and get off to a good start in both the cup and league matches, all the pressure they encountered in the pre-season will be swept away.
Due to the fatigue from the long journey and the intensive pre-season training, Mourinho gave the players a day off.
Chen Xiaoliang, who wanted to stay at home for a day, was dragged out by Reese.
That's right, the Norwegians have given him another job, and it's not just a commercial endorsement.
After arriving in Rome, local officials were impressed by Chen Xiaoliang's extremely high popularity in the Red Country and invited him to shoot a set of tourism promotional photos to attract more Red Country people to vacation in Italy.
Chen Xiaoliang originally thought that he only needed to go to two scenic spots to pose for photos, but when he got there he realized that he had fallen into Reese's trap.
There were hundreds of staff members, various filming equipment, and hangers with all kinds of clothes filled three trucks.
It was only then that Reese said that this endorsement was funded by Vanscher, so he had to wear their clothes for the shoot.
The director was very polite. He came up to greet Chen Xiaoliang and introduced him in a gibberish. Chen Xiaoliang couldn't even remember the man's name.
By the way, although the Italian language pack has been activated in the system, Chen Xiaoliang did not tell others that he can fully understand Italian.
Because in this way, the Italian players in the team will not deliberately avoid him when they say something pointed.
Seeing that everyone was present, he decided to start early.
Who would have thought that the director said that we had to wait for one more person, and there was another female lead in this filming.
Just as he finished speaking, a girl with long brown hair, legs that almost took up three quarters of her height, and an unusual way of walking came over from among a crowd of people.
Reese asked quietly: "Hey... Chen, do you know her?"
Chen Xiaoliang shook his head: "Who is this?"
"You old-fashioned guy, her mother is a supermodel, no, a super-supermodel, the dream girl of many men!"
"How old is this person? She looks more than ten years older than me. Her mother must be in her sixties or seventies. She is too old to be your dream lover."
"As a model, she looks mature after putting on makeup. She is only three years older than you. Her mother is also...only...in her fifties."
"Only?! Only in his 50s?! Can a 40-year-old like you swallow that?"
"Fuck! Cheryl is twenty years older than you, have you forgotten?"
Chen Xiaoliang: “…”
It's over, a stain on my life.
At this time, two makeup artists came over.
Chen Xiaoliang sat there, giving up resistance as the two makeup artists painted and smeared makeup on his face, while continuing to ask, "Who is this?"
A voice rang out: "She is one of the most popular female models in the United States. She was a contracted model for Vanscher when she was 11 years old. Her mother is the supermodel Cindy Crawford."
Chen Xiaoliang nodded: "Oh... So that's how it is, I haven't heard of it..."
How could I not have heard of it? But I have to act cool to look cool.
Eh? No? Why does this voice sound so familiar?
He raised his hand to signal the makeup artist to stop, and when he turned around, he saw Helena standing behind him with her hands on her chest, wearing sunglasses and a sun hat.
"Why are you here?!" Chen Xiaoliang was shocked. After taking a closer look, he found that what Helena was wearing and what was painted on her face were completely different from usual!
With this outfit, you would have thought she was the protagonist of today’s photoshoot!
Reese took two steps back and stood where Helena couldn't see him. He waved at Chen Xiaoliang, pointed at Helena, and blinked.
This means that he was forced to confess and had no choice but to reveal his whereabouts.
"As for me, I just came to see how good our big stars and supermodels can take photos."
Chen Xiaoliang's face was filled with black lines... How could this be called observation... This was clearly surveillance...
People around her didn't take it seriously and just thought she was Chen Xiaoliang's female assistant.
After the two protagonists finally finished their makeup, the director arranged for them to put on formal attire and stand together for the audition.
Chen Xiaoliang was a little embarrassed at first, but the supermodel was very generous and spoke first: "Hello, my name is Kaia Gerber, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, too."
"I heard you're really good at playing soccer, so cool!"
“Yes, I’m a football player, but there are many other balls I’m good at.”
The director interrupted them with a shout of approval: "OK! Very good!"
Then the official shooting began.
At first, Chen Xiaoliang thought that he just needed to put on makeup and stand there to take a few photos, just like the player photos taken at the club after arriving in Rome. He would wear his No. 33 jersey, smile at the camera, and be done with it.
However, big brands have very high artistic pursuits...
The director and assistant director stood in front of the two men and taught them how to change various postures by demonstrating movements.
Sometimes he is on top, sometimes he is at the back...
"Yes, yes, yes, the man should lower his head a little more."
"Very good, very good. The man's eyes should be more focused and affectionate. Look at the woman's neck, a little lower, a little lower."
"Very good, the affection is very good, the man should hug the waist tighter."
Under normal circumstances, Chen Xiaoliang would definitely be able to deeply understand the director's ideas, draw inferences from them, and complete the actions more creatively.
But now… he always felt like a pair of fiery eyes were staring at him.
Then, looking at the skinny supermodel in front of him, he didn't dare to use force, for fear of accidentally hurting her.
Compared to Chen Xiaoliang, Kaia Gerber is also very young, but she is already an experienced model.
She has taken so many photos since she was a child and has worked with so many male models , but the one in front of her still makes her feel the most gentle and gentlemanly.
Even the way he looked at me was filled with shyness and awe.
She was used to working with professional actors, so it was inevitable that she felt something fresh and exciting when she suddenly changed to an amateur partner.
And although she has been famous since she was a child and is the second generation of super rich and star, in the modeling circle, even among supermodels, there are only a handful of people in the world whose net worth exceeds 40 million euros.
She constantly took advantage of the breaks in filming to chat with Chen Xiaoliang, and from time to time she helped him tidy up his clothes and smooth his hair, bringing them closer together so that he could relax.
But the more this happened, the more Chen Xiaoliang complained in his heart...
This is an old Italian medieval building that looks like a church terrace.
After taking the photos, Chen Xiaoliang thought it was over, but the director told him to go to the next place...
As a result, city squares, roadsides on commercial streets, lawns in parks, and even the most famous restaurants in the city...
Chen Xiaoliang didn't know how many sets of clothes he had put on and how many different poses he had changed...
Even when I was taking photos of the dress in the city center square, passers-by shouted "Happy Wedding"...
Later on, he became numb.
The director said hug then hug, if you hug well you can get it in one take, if you don’t hug well you have to keep hugging and repeating the take…
From time to time he glanced at Helena who was standing outside the densely packed circle of staff.
But under the sunglasses and sun hat, you can’t see her expression and eyes.
Finally we arrived at the last stop...the beach of Ponza Island.
This is the oldest nature reserve in Italy, with beautiful water, beautiful mountains and beautiful people.
I just don't feel very good...
If Chen Xiaoliang could concentrate on wearing a dress, windbreaker, casual wear or sportswear before, it is a bit difficult for him to wear a swimsuit now.
Although supermodels are all hangers on the clothes, which does not meet the requirements from the perspective of being sexy, their figures and curves are impeccable.
After everyone changed into their swimsuits, Chen Xiaoliang really didn't know where to put his eyes.
But the director kept shouting:
"Look! Look! Be affectionate!"
"She looks at the sea, you look at her!"
"Yes, yes, yes, keep this position for a while longer, very good, very good!"
Chen Xiaoliang wanted to see where Helena was again, but he didn't see her after looking for her several times.
But that guy Reese was wiping his saliva all the time with a slurping sound.
At the beginning, it was a one-piece swimsuit and a series of beach pants, and Chen Xiaoliang could barely hold on.
After changing to a guinea pen, Chen Xiaoliang could only say again and again that the sunlight was too glaring and he had to turn around to give his eyes a rest...
Then I kept thinking about the faces of Aribo, Morelos and Abraham to calm myself down...
Finally the last one!
The two stood on the beach, Chen Xiaoliang had his back to the sea, and Kaia Gerber was hugging him closely in front of him.
After shooting for most of the day, the afterglow of the setting sun cast sparkling waves on the sea. The wind blew Kaia Gerber's long hair. She turned her head and looked at the camera lens with Chen Xiaoliang.
Reese couldn't help but take out his mobile phone to capture this beautiful scene.
I don’t know if it was because of the setting sun, but everyone saw Kaia Gerber’s face turning red.
Before leaving for Italy, she searched online for partners for this collaboration.
The first to be exposed were the blurry photos of him and Cheryl at the shore of Lake Las, as well as the testimonies of a group of so-called eyewitnesses.
What six hours? The whole town can hear it...
She didn't believe it at first, thinking that the gossip media was just making up stories. After all, such things happen more often in the United States.
But at this moment, she was convinced...
Even after the director called for a stop, congratulated them on the successful completion of the shoot, and the two separated, she seemed to still be able to feel the fiery warmth that had been lingering on her body.
After finishing the work, Chen Xiaoliang left in a hurry, leaving only Reese and the director to negotiate the follow-up matters.
"Director, how is my client doing today?"
"That's great. This city and this brand want a dignified and restrained feeling. You know what? Ordinary male models can't achieve that."
At this time, Chen Xiaoliang was driving Helena to the next destination.
Roman Holiday?
It’s just the beginning!
