Chapter 299 Christmas Premiere
The Premier League schedule is the longest among the five major European leagues, and it is a well-deserved iron man schedule.

The 20 clubs are more than Serie A and Bundesliga, and there are two cup competitions, and there is no winter break at all.

Even if the winter break is on the schedule, it can barely end at the same time as the other major leagues.

Since arriving at Manchester United, Beckham has rarely spent Christmas with his family.

At that time, I lived in someone else's house, and my parents had no place to live when they came.

Later, when I got a house, my parents had to take care of the feelings of Lynn and Joanne, two fools.

As a result, Beckham hasn't spent a full Christmas with his parents for several years.

It's the same this time, he spent Christmas Eve at Gary's house, and the Neville brothers are not yet married, so they haven't separated from their parents for the time being.

It is not the first time that Beckham went to Neville's house for Christmas, because old Ted and Neville's family have a very good relationship, so Beckham has spent Christmas at his house in these years.

Sophie Marceau wanted to come too, but she took a job on Christmas Eve and was going to be the host at a party.

After the female host of the party was confirmed, the selection of the male host became the focus of controversy.

The candidates invited by the program were dismissed by the mainstream media and the audience, and everyone felt that those buddies were not worthy.

So some people said that if Beckham was to be the male host, even if everyone didn't like it, the fact that they were a couple couldn't be changed anyway.

The important thing is that these two people are also handsome. Beckham is at the peak of male beauty, and Sophie Marceau is a young girl no matter how you look at it. There is no way to equate her appearance with her age.

The French have already seen it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have hosting experience, as long as you have a good image and good temperament. It means talking to set off the atmosphere of the show, not a host competition.

But upon confirmation, they regrettably found that the heartthrob's French vocabulary was simply not enough for the moderator's work.

After this discovery was announced, the French men fry the pot again.

Beckham can't speak French?

Why can't he speak French?
Could it be that our beauties are accommodating him in English when the two are dating? !

Outrageous!

sad!sad!
No wonder she was so fluent in English during London Fashion Week, it turns out she has been speaking English for the past two years.
It was indeed too fluent, so fluent that it was a bit unseemly. After listening carefully, there was even a little Manchester accent.

Alas, disappointment is revealed in sadness, "the first beauty of France" can even speak fluent English dialect!

The advent of this detail of life has made French men restless for a long time. You must know that French is the pride of the French, and the French only speak French wherever they go.

They can only be accommodated by others, and it is impossible for them to accommodate others.

It can be seen that Sophie Marceau loves that kid more and runs to England every now and then.

Has that kid been here once?

No!

French people from all walks of life have launched a fierce debate in the mainstream media. After releasing their grievances, the French men finally reached an understanding with themselves.

The beauty is not wrong, she can't be wrong.

The English boy is also said to be a hard-working fellow, a quality that is not valued in France but is admirable in England.

What is surprising is that the French did not blame Beckham. They only hope that the French team can personally obliterate the England team in the World Cup and give the young and old a sigh of relief.

The matter of Beckham being the host was no longer mentioned, and everyone still pinched their noses and arranged for a male host.

However, at the request of extreme fans, the organizer arranged for Sophie Marceau and the male host to appear on stage in turn, and the matter was settled.

Beckham didn't know about this. He was distributing gifts at the dinner table. He gave Gary a pair of knee pads, gave Phil a pack of football socks customized according to his feet, and prepared red wine and a Christmas tree for the Nevilles.

Of course, the movie ticket of "Twilight" is also an essential meeting gift.

Although "Twilight" seized the Christmas schedule, many British filmmakers complained, but they can only complain a few words in the media.

As a director, he has filmed "Terminator", "True Lies", and "Alien", and also helped Stallone write and co-write such brainless films as "First Blood". James Cameron is considered a well-known figure in the film industry.

He can rely on his face to ask investors for a shooting fee of 2 million U.S. dollars, and he dares to reject big-name actors and boldly use two new stars, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.

Especially for the latter, the biggest honor is only the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, and she has no experience in leading actresses in blockbuster films.

Facts have also proved that his vision is vicious.

However, he did everything he could to fail to get a Christmas filming schedule in the UK, so he could only watch the other party premiere on Christmas.

The British theater manager gave him the answer that "Titanic" is a disaster film, and the time is too long, so it is inconvenient to schedule the film.

He has repeatedly complained that the film tells the long history of Britain, sings the praises of beautiful love, and is a modern version of "Romeo and Julia", but he was still rejected.

Later, after inquiries from all parties, James Cameron simply gave up struggling.

He figured out that there was a Russian giant behind "Twilight", and immediately backed away.

Anyway, "Titanic" got the Christmas schedule in North America, and the Russian billionaire only paid attention to the British market, and he just lost part of the market.

In fact, the movie landed in the island country in early November, and the box office was acceptable, with a monthly box office of 11 million US dollars.

However, the market in the island country is still too small. The Korean market can reach the same scale, and whether the cost can be recovered depends on the European and American markets.

Regarding the box office of "Twilight", Cantona once patted Abramovich's breasts. As long as Beckham is there, there is no big problem in recovering the cost.

As long as there are no big productions in the same period, "Twilight" should be among the best in cities other than Liverpool.

The Russian giant said that if his grades are not good, he can earn 5000 million pounds, which is not a problem in his eyes.

Cantona once again slammed his chest and said no, he had fully experienced what it meant to be good-looking during the years he spent with Beckham day and night.

As he prepares to retire, the heartthrob has actually surpassed him in popularity at Old Trafford.

The key is that this kid can not only watch, but also play on the football field. As long as the Manchester United fans in the British Peninsula and his fans are happy, the cost can be recovered, and the rest is profit.

Beckham doesn't pay much attention to the box office. He has already pocketed the money. Even if the tax rate is too high to look at, he has at least received more than 200 million pounds.

But these days, many people call him and ask him for tickets. Everyone thinks that he has tickets, and there are many tickets.

Beckham could only smile and sigh, and promised to send tickets.

To be honest, even he himself didn't quite know what the movie turned out to be.

The shooting process of the film is extremely messy, and it is often necessary to shoot all the plots in the film in one scene before moving to another.

Moreover, the shooting time far exceeds the length of the movie, and editing is required after shooting, and special effects are added in post-production to get the finished film.

Beckham always feels that watching his own movies is a very embarrassing thing.

Although he worked hard to complete the work according to the director's requirements, and got the unanimous approval of the crew, who knows whether they are telling the truth or nonsense.

It's not a big problem for Cantona to play football, but he seems to be suspected of being a director.

In fact, the Frenchman became a director just for fun. If he didn’t get the capital and the script of “Twilight” from Beckham, he would die after enjoying himself under normal circumstances.

On Christmas Day, Beckham was busy delivering tickets to club members. Everyone from the board of directors to the doorman had tickets.

He also gave away tickets to former landlords, partners in youth training, and partners he knew well when he was young. The price of "Twilight" in Manchester was 8 pounds. He paid a total of 2000 pounds for everyone. In addition to tickets for relatives and friends in London, Beckham paid a total of nearly 5000 pounds for the film.

The price of "Twilight" in London is 10 pounds, which is not a lot of money.

It stands to reason that he is not obligated to buy tickets for other people. In the UK, everyone pays for their own dinners. There is no need to go through a lot of trouble, but Beckham always feels that this is what a gentleman should do, although letting everyone watch his movies feels like a public punishment.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, it was time for Elizabeth's annual Queen Elizabeth speech.

Elizabeth first mourned Princess Diana who had just passed away in a car accident, and then sent blessings to Xiangjiang.

The royal family's right to interfere in politics is limited, but those in power still don't want the mascot to talk nonsense, so most of Elizabeth's speeches are short-sighted.

She briefly said a few words about the situation of the parliamentary election and expressed her expectations for the Labor Party.

She also chatted about the birth of Dolly the cloned sheep and the positive implications of the invention.

She also congratulated the England team for reaching the World Cup finals and winning the Four Nations Invitational Tournament, and also named Hoddle for his effective work.

Beckham felt that with Hoddle's piss, even without the Queen's appreciation, he would have drifted away.

With the queen's endorsement, he is not going to travel into space.

Unlike Venables, who likes to publicly praise players and accept criticism himself, Hoddle likes to take the credit for the players on himself.

When the team encounters problems, he will not hesitate to push the players to be tortured in front of the public. This is the old John's evaluation of him, and it should have great credibility.

At 07:30 in the evening, the main members of "Twilight" and all members of the Manchester United club gathered at the Manchester Odian Cinema.

Manchester's largest cinema hosted the premiere of "The Twilight Saga", which attracted many celebrities from the upper echelons of Manchester. Even Abramovich appeared in the box on the second floor, and he was accompanied by members of the board of directors of Manchester United.

As the male lead of the film, Beckham sat in the middle of the first row, and the shameless Gary used a soccer ball signed by him to change the male number two to the second row and sit next to him.

"David, why is the seat next to you empty? Is the little girl busy with extracurricular activities and forgetting the time?"

"Annie is preparing for the show backstage, please stop saying such weird things!"

Beckham knocked Gary Neville into the corner with one sentence, and then went on to read the manuscript silently.

As the leading actor and the host, Beckham was forcibly assigned the task of giving a speech. It is impossible for the big boss to come forward on this occasion. This is the moment for the little brothers.

Ferguson was joking with Brian Kidd in the second row, and it was hard to imagine that he and Cantona had just quarreled a few minutes earlier.

The old man said that the French lured wolves into the house. According to him, the Russians wanted to hold shares in Manchester United.

Cantona is determined not to take the blame: "I first do it for my dream, and the second is bad money. Even without me, he can find a way to get close to the board of directors."

At this moment, the lights on the stage suddenly went out, and the poster of "Twilight" appeared on the curtain, followed by the prelude to "A Thousand Years".

"Heart beats fast,

Colors and promises”

Hearing Cathaway's voice, Beckham felt that the little girl must have practiced very hard.

When filming the movie, Cantona put all his funds on post-production. He thought that Cathaway had a good voice, so he decided to shoot the little girl.

There is no way, the French director who plays with tickets is just so dishonest.

Catherine readily accepted, but her singing skills were mediocre at the time, and she could only listen to it with the help of later-stage tuning. Her performance in the recording studio simply magnified all the shortcomings of an ordinary person.

But I didn't expect that after only half a year, the little girl has made great progress in the stability of pitch and the ability to control breath.

Well, it feels like the little girl has grown a little taller, and she is also very devoted to singing.

“I have died everyday waiting for you”

Beckham still recited the speech silently in the singing. Although it was all chants, it couldn't go wrong.

"David, have you found out?" Gary Neville's words startled Beckham, and he looked at him helplessly.

Gary didn't care about his reaction at all, but leaned closer and said, "Did you notice that this little girl's eyes never moved away from you from beginning to end."

Hearing his words, Beckham laughed angrily.

Why is this guy so gossip?
As the music came to an abrupt end, there was warm applause, mixed with whistles.

At the premiere, less than 300 people were all our own people, and when they applauded, their hands were desperate, as if they were rented hands.

At this time, the host appeared on the stage, and he simply said a few opening remarks and announced the start of the event.

Catherine greeted Beckham with a smile and then fell silent. The brain of the heartthrob was spinning wildly at this time, reciting the speech repeatedly, for fear of missing any part.

His speech was the first part of the event. Walking to the center of the stage, Beckham felt like he was going through the run-up before the penalty kick.

Beckham walked to the stage, said the words of Che Jilu that he had practiced no less than 100 times rhythmically, and then returned to his seat with a smile.

Seeing him let out a breath, Catherine began to formally greet him.

The performance started on the stage, and Beckham always felt that the little girl's voice was a little trembling, and she probably hadn't recovered yet.

No wonder, even when he went up, his heart beat like a drum, not to mention that the other party was just a little girl.

The flickering lights covered Catherine's flushed face, giving her a little more confidence when facing Beckham.

After the performance, the director and main actors were interviewed by reporters.

A reporter asked which team Cathaway supported, and the latter proudly stated that he was a Red Devils fan.

At this time, the "old gangsters" of Manchester United began to boo, and the voice of Keane, who was leaning on crutches, instantly passed through the entire venue: "Little girl, Manchester United fans must know how to play football!"

Under the instigation of the reporter, the pride on Cathaway's face remained undiminished, and she said that she could play football.

So at the instigation of the Manchester United players, Catherine took off her high heels, lifted her skirt, and played with Beckham in front of everyone.

Seeing this scene, Gary Neville murmured silently: "What a familiar scene."

Beckham could tell that the girl had indeed practiced, and that she was good at juggling the ball.

It stands to reason that this kind of occasion would soon end with the woman's mistakes, but Hathaway's footwork is very stable. The two of them bumped several times in a row, and the trajectory of the football was very stable.

Beckham is still taking the ball seriously. As a professional athlete, if he makes a mistake first, the news will be in the gossip newspapers.

With so many reporters on the sidelines, a girl who can't kick a barefoot girl is like a death scene.

Seeing Beckham's signature smile, Ferguson was suddenly happy. He patted Schmeichel on the shoulder and said, "Look, this kid is serious!"

On the stage, the two bounced the ball dozens of times.

If it was placed in a serious premiere, this link would be too embarrassing to proceed.

However, many of the people present were Manchester United staff, and everyone cheered and applauded rhythmically.

Catherine was still holding the hem of her skirt, the corners of her mouth were already raised.

She had almost had enough of playing, so she wanted to have a perfect ending.

When the ball came flying again, she made a slight adjustment, then kicked the ball up, and then used her right leg to go around the ball.

She put all her energy on football and subconsciously sent her left hand away.

Seeing that Catherine's left foot was about to step on the skirt, Cantona immediately reminded: "David, the little girl is going to fall!"

While speaking, Cathaway had already stepped on her skirt, leaning forward the moment she touched the ball.

The audience on the stage immediately exclaimed, seeing that the heroine was about to brake with her face at the premiere.

Hathaway struggled a bit before sprinting towards Beckham, before her off-balance volley from the outside of her foot flew towards Cantona with lightning speed.

Beckham took a sudden step forward, Hathaway hung on top of him, so dangerous!
At the same time, Cantona stopped the football with his chest, flipped his feet, and kicked the football lightly towards the audience, causing a wave of cheers.

At this time, Beckham also handled Cathaway gently, but the little girl's face was flushed, and she hurriedly put on her high heels.

The host rushed to the rescue: "David, have you ever thought about how to explain to Sophie Marceau?"

Beckham said with an unchanged face: "When Anne becomes a big star, I can show off to the media. I hugged her when she was a child!"

The event continued, with investment company representatives and actors standing together for the unveiling of the ticket vending machines.

The automatic ticket vending machine is activated, implying a big box office sale.

After the premiere ceremony came to an end, the actors and staff of the crew took a group photo, and then entered the viewing session.

As soon as Beckham sat back in his seat, Gary Neville said enthusiastically, "Kate was much shorter than you in the group photo just now, but she was only a little shorter than Leonardo in the movie. Do you believe that kid is 1 meters?"

Beckham didn't expect Gary's gossip to gossip to such an extent. He thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "During the physical examination a while ago, my height was 1 meters."

"You grew 21 centimeter when you were 1, who allowed you to grow?!"
