Chapter 670 Closing Ceremony Rehearsal

Luzhniki Stadium.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the night in Moscow has already darkened, but the stadium is still brightly lit. This is the last rehearsal, and the closing ceremony and final will be held here tomorrow.

The closing ceremony was in charge of the famous Russian director Alexander Sokolov. At the height of the stadium stands, Sokolov was holding a walkie-talkie to schedule everything in the stadium.

"Where's Vitas? How's the preparation going?"

There was a rustling sound from the other end of the walkie-talkie, "No problem, just follow the procedure."

"That's good."

Vitas is considered a Russian national treasure tenor, and his unique skill is the soaring dolphin sound, and Vitas will sing at the finale of tomorrow's closing ceremony.

Sokolov looked around. In order to present the most perfect closing ceremony, the number of seats at the Luzhniki Stadium has been doubled, and the Flying Cat has also been re-adjusted. There should be no problems, but Sokolov is still worried. After all, the closing ceremony is too big.

Looking at the watch, there is one last item to finish tonight.

"Okay, let Vitas take the stage."

……

……

After a heavenly song by Vitas, the audience fell into silence, and then there was applause, which was so beautiful and intoxicating.

Sokolov couldn't help applauding, "Great, as long as tomorrow goes as smoothly as today, then everything will be fine."

Just when everyone was finishing work, the assistant rushed over, and Sokolov saw him at a glance. This guy was not only his assistant, but also his manager. The two had been working together for a long time.

"what happened?"

"there is a problem!"

Sokolov's heart skipped a beat. He was most afraid of hearing these words now. After all, the finals will be tomorrow, and no matter what happens at this time, it will be very difficult to deal with.

After calming down, Sokolov pretended to be calm and asked, "What happened?"

"There's something wrong with the caddy."

"That's fine," Sokolov thought to himself.

"Don't worry, just talk about it carefully."

It turned out that the caddies in the finals were half French and half Chinese, and the organizing committee required that all of them be orphans, reflecting the humanitarian feelings of the World Cup.

But I don't know who did it. One of the Chinese children was finally found not to be Chinese, but a Filipino child.

Sokolov is worthy of being a director. His first thought was not to blame, but to meet this child.

"what's your name?"

The little boy with slightly dark skin said timidly, "Zhou Zhou."

"Really?" Sokolov asked with a smile.

The little boy seemed to have done something wrong, and in the end he had no choice but to cry.

Sokolov was taken aback, and comforted: "Don't cry, I don't blame you, I just want to know what's going on."

The matter is actually not complicated. The recruitment of caddies was carried out in the Greater China region, and Hong Kong also has them. However, the little boy’s parents died when they smuggled into Hong Kong, and the little boy was taken into an orphanage in Hong Kong.

The little boy is very self-motivated and likes football. Zhou Dun is his favorite. This time he signed up when he heard that ball boys were being recruited.

The dean of the orphanage considered him over and over again, and he was admitted to the orphanage, which was also rewarded by God. The little boy's football talent usually impressed the dean.

After learning what happened, Sokolov was a little moved, "Can you tell me your real name?"

"Lucas."

"Lucas."

In the end, Sokolov made a decision, "I've made the decision. That's it. Lucas can be the caddy tomorrow."

"But this matter needs to be communicated with the Chinese team," Sokolov said to his assistant.

*****
"It's a trivial matter, they are all orphans, and besides, he admires Zhou Dun so much," Li Guo said when he heard the report.

Sokolov's assistant chuckled. It turned out that the Chinese team didn't care at all, but he was being sensitive.

Soon this matter spread in the Chinese team, Mu Fei changed his playful nature this time, and said seriously: "What a poor child, both parents died, it must be very difficult."

Geng Chong went online to find out that other orphans had no parents, but they still had relatives, but they were unable to support them, but Lucas really had no relatives at all.

Zhou Dun is usually unsmiling, but he is the most enthusiastic in his heart, "How about taking advantage of the heat of the finals, let's help promote it, maybe we can change the fate of the children."

Li Guo is right when he thinks about it, just like the Afghan kid whose fate changed after he met Messi due to accidental reasons.

There are many poor people in this world, but who would care too much unless it is to cause a topic.

"Okay, let's make a short video and post it on our official Weibo."

Soon, the story of little Lucas was circulated on the Internet. Many people expressed that they would support Lucas, and some expressed that they could adopt Lucas. The most ridiculous thing was that in the Philippines, hundreds of people who claimed to be relatives of Lucas emerged.

At the same time, the Chinese team and director Sokolov were also praised, especially the director. He did not rudely ask for a replacement, but embraced the social responsibility that a filmmaker should have, which is rare.

But Sokolov thanked Lucas in turn, because in the past half month, because of the closing ceremony, Sokolov has suffered from severe insomnia, and as long as he fell asleep every day, it would be a nightmare of failing the closing ceremony.

I remember the mistake of not opening the Olympic rings at the closing ceremony of the Sochi Winter Olympics, which has always been a pain in the hearts of the Russians, so the Russians value the cultural performances of the World Cup this time.

But after the Lucas incident, Sokolov felt that he was worrying unfoundedly. If the mistake did occur, he had to continue to live, just like the optimistic Lucas.

In the end, Sokolov decided to sponsor Lucas to receive youth training in Russia after the World Cup.What made Lucas even happier was that he then received a jersey signed by Zhou Dun.

It is really touching to hear such a heart-warming scene from the World Cup in full swing, but after the episode, the eyes of the world are still focused on the finals.

In the Moscow airport, blue French fans and red Chinese fans have become the most common sights in recent days. According to the organizing committee, French fans and Chinese fans each accounted for one-third of the final, and the rest were fans from the host Russia.

The final is about to begin, and apart from Vitas' dolphin sound, what everyone is most looking forward to is the sound of cheering.

The Chinese fans are fully prepared this time, and the Chinese battle cry and the huge TIFO will reappear in the arena.

On the other side of France, the fans are like 20 years ago, the French want to relive the old dream of the World Cup.
