Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"Even if you try other transitions and fail along the way, you still have your core fanbase. I think having your own film series is one of the important criteria for judging a top-tier movie star in the future."

Hathaway was seduced—or rather, persuaded—by Deng Kai and returned to the United States to begin her competition.

Paramount Pictures had given up hope of getting Hathaway on board and started having in-depth discussions with Angelina Jolie about the role and the production team, but then Hathaway suddenly changed her mind.

Paramount could only apologize to Angelina Jolie.

In the entertainment industry, being popular is the only way to go.

It was quite a coincidence.

Angelina Jolie won the Best Supporting Actress award at the 72nd Academy Awards for her outstanding performance in "Girl, Interrupted".

That same year, Anne Hathaway won the Best Actress award for her role in "The Princess Diaries" and the subsequent wave of contemporary women's empowerment in North America!

Angelina Jolie has no chance of winning in this competition for the role.

Of course, after learning that Angelina Jolie had entered into a deep collaboration with the crew and that she had squeezed out of the project, Hathaway called Jolie to express her apologies.

She said she had hesitated for too long before, and originally felt that she was not up to the task, but under the persuasion of her boyfriend Deng Kai, she was willing to give it a try, which brought Julie such a big trouble.

Regardless of how unhappy Julie was inside, she maintained a harmonious relationship with Hathaway on the surface.

In fact, she did admire the wave of contemporary North American women that Hathaway had sparked.

Jolie might not be able to accept being overshadowed by someone else, but if it's Hathaway, she'll have no choice but to accept it.

This matter naturally did not escape the notice of Hollywood reporters.

A reporter interviewed Jolie and deliberately stirred up trouble.

But Jolie generously stated, "This certainly won't create any conflict between me and Hathaway. We weren't dating before, but Hathaway specifically called me to talk about this, and we talked everything out. We even became good friends because of it."

"Of course, I think next time Hathaway's boyfriend wants to help her choose roles, he should be quicker, which would reduce a lot of trouble."

Meanwhile, Deng Kai, who was at the European Championship, responded to Jolie in a pre-match media interview: "I did give some advice to Hathaway on how to choose roles, and I'm glad that Hathaway will carefully consider my suggestions. It feels good to be valued."

"Of course, I also want to thank Angelina Jolie for her generosity in this matter. If you ever have any difficult choices regarding roles in the future, you can let me give you some advice."

Deng Kai's reply made the North American entertainment reporters laugh until they cried.

You're just a soccer player, what do you know about movies?

It's one thing to make bad choices for Hathaway, but to go and ruin Angelina Jolie's career as well?

She's not your brainless little girlfriend.

It has to be said that the media was very pessimistic about both the supporting roles Deng Kai chose for Hathaway in "The Lord of the Rings" and this film, "Tomb Raider."

Hathaway should have focused on making teen romance films for a few years, then moved on to pure romance films with some nudity, and finally, to making truly explicit movies.

This is the true destiny of a chick flick heroine.

Deng Kai is, after all, of Chinese descent and too conservative. His "selfishness" will definitely affect Hathaway's career.

At the very least, Hathaway's role in Lord of the Rings will not be remembered, and Tomb Raider will definitely flop at the box office!

affim!

……

Hathaway's role has been finalized, and she will be joining the production team soon.

Correspondingly, with the conclusion of the European Championship group stage, the formidable England and Germany teams were eliminated.

They both went home.

Portugal and Romania, both from the same group, successfully advanced to the knockout stage of the European Championship, becoming one of the quarterfinalists. This marks the first time Romania has reached the knockout stage of the European Championship in its history!

On the day they were eliminated, both Beckham and Matthäus made surprising remarks.

Matthäus: "Actually, when I called Deng Kai dozens of times and couldn't get through, I had a premonition. I had resented him before, thinking that he dared not answer my calls."

"But now it seems he just didn't want to hurt me prematurely. I have to apologize for the curses I mentally cast at him before. I feel lost about my future now; it seems I can no longer bring victory to the team, whether it's Bayern, the New York Metro Stars, or the German national team."

Beckham: "I'm really heartbroken, but I understand Victoria. Duncan told him that England would have a hard time getting out of the group stage, and Victoria, afraid I'd be upset, told me that England would at least make it to the semi-finals."

"I made a mistake in this matter. I shouldn't have asked Deng Kai in the first place. It caused trouble for Deng Kai, Victoria, and me. If there are any more major events in the future, I will not call Deng Kai."

"Because while it's exciting to hear from him beforehand that the team has advanced, if you know beforehand that you'll be eliminated, I doubt anyone would be able to handle it well."

"Of course, I have to say, Deng Kai is really good."

Guardiola echoed this sentiment, saying, "Duncai is absolutely phenomenal! Duncai is a god forever! The luckiest thing in my life was attending the Portugal Diamond Generation Invitational, which allowed me to discover this gem, Duncai!"

"Some say his magic is prophetic, but in my opinion, he simply understands football! His understanding of the game runs deep, allowing him to distinguish between truly strong teams and those that are merely pretending. He can tell who will be eliminated in the group stage and who will become the true champions!"

Reporter: "From what you're saying, Deng Kai believes Spain can win the championship?"

Guardiola: "I shouldn't be telling you this, but I believe Duncan understands me. Yes, Duncan told me that Spain has a very high probability of winning this year's European Championship!"

Reporter: "Unbelievable, this is definitely headline news today! This is even more incredible than England and Germany going home! Did he say anything else?"

Guardiola: "He cares a lot about the physical condition of the Spanish players. He told us that if possible, we should avoid eating foie gras, macarons, escargots, baguettes..."

Reporter: "Did you notice that all of these foods... are from France?"

Guardiola was taken aback, his smile, which had been beaming for over a month, finally vanished: "So, you mean, Kai is reminding us not to face France? We can win the title as long as we avoid France?"

After analysis, many reporters felt that this was truly a perfect reading comprehension passage: "That's probably it."

France, however, has also made it to the quarterfinals of this year's European Championship.

Guardiola shook his head: "France is indeed very strong. If we really meet France in the final, our chances of winning do seem much smaller. But we are still confident of beating them. As for meeting France before the final... come on, with so many teams, it's not that easy to meet France in advance."

The group stage draw for the European Championship knockout stage was announced the following day.

Netherlands vs. Slavia

Italy drew Romania.

Portugal and Türkiye are locked in a fierce battle.

Spain... drew France.

European football fans were immediately in an uproar.

Is it really France?

Spanish fans had a vague feeling that something was amiss.

June 25th.

The match between France and Spain has begun.

I like playing football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him.
