Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 103 Su Hao's First Time. He really couldn't control himself!

That same day after having dinner with Xu Jiaying, Su Hao set off directly back to London.

Unfortunately, although Arsenal beat Bayern Munich in the Champions League and gained an early advantage, in the league, they face pressure from Manchester City ahead and Liverpool lurking behind.
Not only is the professor afraid to relax, but the entire Arsenal team is too!
After all, Arsenal hasn't won any titles in nine years. If Arsenal suffers another defeat this season, no one knows how crazy their die-hard fans will go!
However, before officially returning to the monotonous routine of training and competition, Su Hao, in accordance with the terms of his previous contract with Huawei, took some time to help Huawei shoot an advertisement for the launch of the Mate 7 in the Japanese market.

Moreover, according to the information Mendes gave him, this time his commercial seems to be quite complicated, and it's no longer the kind where he just stands there with his phone and strikes a pose.

It was Mendes's advertisement that was so complicated that Su Hao couldn't sleep well all night.

There's nothing he can do. Su Hao isn't afraid of anything on the court, but for some reason, he always gets nervous in front of the camera, especially when he's asked to do certain actions or recite certain lines!
After worrying all night, on the morning of February 29th, Su Hao got into a business car sent by Huawei and went to a photography studio that Huawei had prepared in London.

On the way, the staff sent by Huawei explained the entire filming process to Su Hao.

Got it!
Just as Su Hao had worried, today's advertisement was no longer the kind that went straight to the point; it had a storyline, and not only a complex one, but it also featured a Japanese female lead!

Filming a drama movie with a Japanese actress.
Although Su Hao had fantasized about this while watching certain action films in his previous life, it wasn't like this at all!
However, there is not without good news.

At least after searching for photos of his Japanese girlfriend, Su Hao was quite satisfied.

Kasumi Arimura!

Born in 1994, this 19-year-old Japanese newcomer actress is also the number one heartthrob among Japanese otaku with her pure and innocent image!
9 o'clock in the morning.

The car carrying Su Hao finally came to a smooth stop at the entrance of the photography studio.

Just after Su Hao got out of the car, the advertising director hired by Huawei walked quickly and smilingly to Su Hao.

"Haha, I've finally met our Chinese superstar! My name is Wang Dong, you can call me Lao Wang or just Wang Dong, but Mr. Su, before we officially start filming, I have a favor to ask you! My daughter is a huge fan of yours, and knowing that I'm going to film you today, she specifically called to ask me for an autographed photo! I've prepared the photo, all that's missing is your autograph!"

Looking at the old director Wang in front of me, wearing a baseball cap and the signature square-framed glasses of a cultured man, I was surprised that he was calling me "Teacher" in such a reversal of the traditional way.
Su Hao quickly declined, saying, "No, please don't call me teacher, just call me Su Hao! Is this the photo? May I ask what your daughter's name is?"

Although he politely declined, telling the other person not to address him so awkwardly, Su Hao quickly took the photo from their hand and, while holding the pen, asked the director's daughter's name.

After all, he has to follow orders today, so he has to get a TO signature for him!

"Your name is Wang Yutong, and any signature will do!"

Is it okay to write it this way?

"Of course! Thank you so much!"

Although Su Hao didn't know if Old Wang's daughter was a real football fan, it's worth mentioning that after the experienced Coach Wang's friendly opening remarks...

The initial awkwardness between the two faded considerably.

Just as the two were chatting and laughing about the two goals they scored at the Allianz Arena the day before yesterday, Su Hao's leading lady for the day seemed to have heard that Su Hao had arrived and hurried over from the dressing room not far away.

"おはようございます, Su Haojun, Arimura Kasumi です, ご合力できてうれしいです, よろしくお愿いします!” (Good morning, Su Haojun, my name is Arimura Kasumi, I am very happy to cooperate with you, please take care of me!)
Her petite figure was wrapped in a black coat, and the collar of her school uniform was slightly open, revealing a clean sailor uniform scarf underneath with a standard Japanese bow.

Add to that his amber eyes, like they were filled with water, as he looked up, and that familiar tone of voice that instantly evoked memories of the naivety and impulsiveness of adolescence.

It has to be said that even Su Hao, who had been accustomed to seeing top-tier white beauties while in England with Arsenal's brutes, had to admit that the schoolgirls in these days were truly unbeatable!
"Don't you speak English?"

Although Su Hao could understand a little bit based on his self-taught Japanese, if he really didn't know English, their filming today would probably be stuck in an endless loop.

Fortunately, when Su Hao asked a question in English, Arimura Kasumi immediately replied in fairly good English.

"I know it, Su Haojun, but my English isn't very fluent, so please give me some pointers!"

"No way! This isn't a football game, it's filming! I should be the one asking for your guidance!"

"Pfft!"

As soon as Su Hao said this, Arimura Kasumi covered her mouth and laughed, and the slightly tense feeling that Arimura Kasumi had been feeling immediately eased.

There's no way around it. After all, for Kasumi Arimura these days, being able to film an advertisement with a top Asian athlete like Su Hao is definitely a huge honor for her.

If it weren't for the fact that her appearance actually fits the target audience of Huawei's advertisement, there would probably be more than two pairs of female stars in Japan who could rank higher than her in terms of fame.

"Su Haojun, didn't you have training today?"

"We did have one, but... there was nothing we could do, since Huawei had already contacted us several times!"

"Oh! Su Haojun, do you guys have any matches recently? I... I've always really enjoyed watching football, and my favorite team in Japan is Urawa Red Diamonds!"

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Su Hao initially thought that Arimura might like Arsenal or something, based on what the girl said.

But unexpectedly, they ended up mentioning Urawa Red Diamonds.
Logically speaking, if he liked Urawa Red Diamonds, then he was the biggest culprit behind Guangzhou Evergrande's two bloodbaths against them.
"Xiao Su, this is a rough script. The plot is very simple. Take a look at it first. When we're filming later, we'll have a professional instructor explain the movements, camera angles, and expressions to you!"

Su Hao and Arimura Kasumi were having a lively conversation when Director Wang came over with a few pages of the script and handed them to him.

I picked it up and took a quick look.

Well, just as Su Hao imagined, this script is indeed incredibly melodramatic!
In the world conceived by Director Wang, Su Hao is a high-end business professional dressed in an expensive suit. He is sitting at a coffee shop table enjoying his coffee when his Mate 7, which was originally on the table, suddenly flashes a notification that someone has sent him a message.

It was this splash screen that unexpectedly attracted Kasumi Arimura, who was dressed up after attending her graduation ceremony!

Curious, Arimura's gaze fell upon Su Hao's Mate 7, while Su Hao, in turn, turned his attention to Arimura due to the screen flash. Then came the time rewind effect.
The scene then shifts to a blurry photo of Su Hao, dressed in the same high school graduate's clothes, taking pictures with a girl who looks exactly like Arimura at a photo studio.

The final screen shows a full-body photo of the Mate 7, accompanied by the Japanese version of the Huawei Mate slogan: "Let everything become eternal!"
High-end business professionals + female high school graduates
For some reason, even though Su Hao had no problem reading the script, he felt something was off, especially when it incorporated local Japanese cultural elements.
Wiped it!

After finishing reading the script, it was time to practice acting with Arimura.

And then we got to this stage.
This was naturally the most worrying time for Su Hao. He didn't understand camera angles, couldn't position himself in the center of the camera, and couldn't even capture a simple glance from his head.
For a full two hours, Su Hao still couldn't get the simplest scene right.

Fortunately, even after countless takes with Su Hao, Arimura Kasumi still maintained that same smug, fist-pumping look.

From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.!
Su Hao finally finished filming, drenched in sweat.

To be honest, after painstakingly working on it countless times, Su Hao was extremely satisfied with his final product.

There's no way around it; Su Hao's appearance is already top-notch, and with the help of professional makeup artists and lighting...
At least in Su Hao's own opinion, his image in this advertisement is definitely on par with those top male stars in China. Moreover, not only his looks, Su Hao's physique is also a huge plus!
Of course, as the host, after finishing filming, Su Hao immediately and generously invited all the staff to have a delicious meal at his favorite three-Michelin-starred restaurant in London.

It was at the dinner table that Su Hao and Youcun exchanged phone numbers.

However, when someone asked for his Facebook account, Su Hao awkwardly replied that he hadn't applied for one yet.

Upon hearing that Su Hao didn't even have a Facebook account, which is currently the most popular communication platform for young people in the world, Arimura immediately sat down next to Su Hao, picked up Su Hao's phone, and helped him register one.

Although there was no real-name authentication or anything, Ayamura set himself as Su Hao's first Facebook friend.

One is 17 years old, and the other is 19 years old!
Moreover, it's not just about age, appearance, or first impressions of each other, but also about how they help each other in certain aspects.
In short, even though the two didn't say anything, after they finished their meal and went their separate ways, they both asked each other when they would meet next!
"Su! Let's go!"

7 o'clock in the evening.

After having dinner as usual and resting for a while, Kant knocked on Su Hao's door.

However, to Kant's surprise, Su Hao, who had been clinging to him every day as if he couldn't sleep without him, actually said he wanted to rest!

This left Kanté somewhat bewildered.

Especially after seeing Su Hao holding his phone and looking like he was chatting with someone!
Having already passed the age of 17, when he loved cave exploration, Kant immediately seemed to understand something and gave Su Hao a knowing look before closing the door behind him again.

However, Kanté was genuinely unaware that he had misunderstood.

Previously, Su Hao would pester him to train all day long, but that was to complete the system's compatibility level storyline mission.

Now that he's already claimed all the mission rewards, there's no need for further training, since the training points allocated to the system are fixed and can only be earned in small amounts each day.

Practicing too much won't do any good!

If it weren't for the fear that Kanté might overthink things, Su Hao would have considered moving back to his luxury apartment. After all, compared to the players' dormitory, the comfort of his place was incomparable to what he was doing here!

Three days passed quickly.

2014 3 Month 3 Day.

While all Arsenal fans thought it would be a routine team press conference, the Arsenal official website, which had been preparing for a long time, released a message that surprised all Arsenal die-hard fans!
Yes!

Emirates Airlines Group, which had sponsored Arsenal for nearly a decade, has officially announced its separation from the club.

And replacing Emirates Group is none other than China's Evergrande, the company that made all Arsenal fans incredibly excited during this period!

Of course, this official announcement only stated that Emirates Airlines would not renew its shirt sponsorship deal with Arsenal. Other issues, such as Arsenal's equity stake, remain unresolved for Evergrande.

The Russian still couldn't meet the price Lao Xu proposed.

However, it was this official announcement that allowed all Chinese football fans to see, after staying up until 3 a.m. on the night of March 3, two large, standard Chinese characters appeared on the official jersey of the Premier League for the first time!

There was nothing to worry Arsenal fans about. Having defeated even Bayern Munich, Arsenal unsurprisingly demonstrated their formidable attacking prowess in this match.

Less than 15 minutes into the game, Arsenal seized an opportunity thanks to the impeccable top-class combination play between Suarez and Kanté in the middle.

A signature long-range shot!

Su Hao blasted open the goal that Hull City had been guarding with five players holed up in the penalty area.

1: 0!

The Emirates Stadium exploded!
Countless Arsenal fans roared Su Hao's name like madmen, while at the same time, inside the Arsenal penalty area, Su Hao turned his head with a smile and looked towards his own VIP stands.

There's no way around it; things are different from before. Right now, sitting in the VIP stands is a cute little girl with a big, smiling face and her hands raised high.

P.S.: I feel bad for all the dads. Today, starting from after get off work, I was visited by colleagues and brothers. Finally, a few childhood friends came with several bottles of wine, and I couldn't resist having a few drinks.

Only now do I feel like I understand a little.

I'm not swearing, if I don't make up for it by the weekend, I'll cut up the chicken myself and roast it live for everyone to eat!
