Chapter 629: Laporte, the Most Expensive in the City

Why do Chinese directors and producers prefer to use young actors rather than veteran actors?

There are many reasons, but among all the reasons, a clean base of the fresh meat is an extremely important factor.

The entertainment industry is a big dye vat, and there is no clean person in it. After staying in there for a long time, the so-called cleanliness is just a persona and not the truth. Compared with the entertainment industry, the seemingly smoky sports world is as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

Everyone knows that veteran actors have superb acting skills and have their own fan traffic, and their fans have been accumulated over time. They are not frothy fans like Xiao Xianrou who rely on company packaging and hot searches.

Xiao Xianrou is basically nothing but handsome. His facial expressions are all about frowning, and his acting skills are either zombie-like or using all his body strength to the point of embarrassment. As long as you are not a novice at watching movies, you will be bored by it.

However, more and more producers are choosing to dominate the world with fresh movies. This is not because they are deliberately going against the audience, but because their veteran drama skills are too trendy.

After staying in this circle for a long time, everyone will have a pile of shit under their butts. It’s just that the people in the circle know it, but the outside world doesn’t.

The producer hired a veteran actor to play the leading role, spent hundreds of millions or more than a billion to make a good movie, and then the film was completed. Competitors in the industry reported back, and the veteran actor was either sucking sex or using prostitutes. Whether it's tax evasion or being independent, or someone who has said something that shouldn't be said out loud, or even had an extramarital affair, it's a sure thing to report it.

Nowadays, the **** has zero tolerance for bad artists. As long as there is real evidence, they will be banned immediately.

Well, after hundreds of millions or more than a billion have been wasted, the producers can cry their eyes out and bleed.

The lessons learned are gone, and even if the producer's money is blown by the strong wind, it cannot withstand such a shock. If you suffer too much, your memory will become worse.

Xiao Xianrou does not have this hidden danger, because he has only been in the company for a short time, and he has always been under the complete control of the company. There is almost no mess behind the scenes, and his foundation is relatively clean.

It’s the lesser of two evils, so it makes sense that producers and directors would prefer small, fresh meat.

This is a story about seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages in the entertainment industry. It has nothing to do with football. However, French defender Aymeric Laporte also encountered the same situation in the football circle where he was blocked invisibly to avoid hidden dangers.

On the last day of the winter transfer window of the 2017-18 season, 24-year-old Laporte moved from Athletic Bilbao to Manchester City. Blue Moon finally had a strong signing in the defense that they had been dreaming of.

The French defense is full of talents. If forced to sort, Laporte can definitely occupy the top three. Especially at center back, it's hard to say who is better than Varane and Koscielny, but the industry generally believes that his overall strength is slightly higher than Umtiti, Rami, and Lenglet.

Compared to Mangala, Sakho and the like, Laporte is much better.

But he has never played for the French adult national team. Although he is an excellent and pure defender of French descent, the fact that he does not have a second nationality does not mean that he does not love France.

It's just that France doesn't love him. Laporta suffered an invisible ban in order to prevent possible internal racial discrimination.

From U17 to U21, Laporte has been the main central defender of the French youth teams at all levels, and is the captain of the national youth team. There is nothing to say about his strength.

Everyone believes that Laporte and Varane will form a top-notch central defender combination for the French team in the next ten years.

Unexpectedly, Varane became the main force of the French team in the 2014 World Cup, but Laporte never waited for Deschamps' call after the 2015 U21 European Youth Championship.

Deschamps did not explain the reason, and Laporte himself did not know why.

There was still no sign of being called up in 201. Laporte couldn't help complaining to the media: "If I can't compete in the European Cup with the French team, I won't rule out the possibility of joining Spain."

However, Deschamps seemed not to have heard that Laporte was not in France's European Championship runner-up lineup that year.

Of course, he did not change his family immediately, because Laporte loved France and was proud of his French ancestry.

The bad thing is that his mouth doesn't know how to handle it.

It was during the 2015 U21 European Youth Championship group stage. Laporte had an unknown illness one day, as if he suddenly met his teammates who had been fighting together for many years.

Except for a few whites such as Laporte, the rest of their group of players are all dark-skinned descendants of African immigrants.

Kurzawa, Kondogbia, Martial, Entep, Landry, Umtiti, Rose, Mendy, Haller, Zouma, Sanogo...

Looking around, almost all of them are dark French people. Even the fairer Jordan Ferry, Yassin Benzia, and Florian Thauvin are all descendants of North African immigrants like Zidane and Scar.

In fact, in the entire U21 roster, only Laporte is a Frenchman with a relatively traditional bloodline.

He is not a racist, nor can he afford to discriminate. African immigrants are no longer a minority in French society. In football circles, people are the mainstream.

But that day, when everyone was showering naked together, Laporte looked at the darkness and said something jokingly to the assistant coach next to him.

"Fuck, this is still the French team, okay, the African team."

It was definitely a joke, and no one else heard it. But one mouth passed three ears, and from then on, Deshang did not dare to call him.

The French aboriginal people are divided into three parts. One is the oldest Gauls, a branch of the Celts, characterized by red hair.

The second one is the Romans who came to invade after the Huns invaded. They are characterized by black hair.

The third is the Frankish tribe, the latest arrival among the Germanic people, characterized by blond hair and blue eyes. The name of France now comes from Frank.

But this is all in the past. Immigrants and descendants of immigrants from Africa now account for a quarter of the total population of France. It is still difficult to say who is a minority.

Among European countries, France is the most tolerant towards immigrants, but it is also the most sensitive on racial issues, because many things are no longer decided by white men.

Especially in the sports and football circles, if there is a real commotion, it is not certain who will discriminate against whom.

The French team has basically gone dark, and there are complaints from the public, but the football circle is enjoying itself, but the gossip in the public has also made the national team tight, and it has gradually turned into a neurotic line that must not be touched. Neither side works.

Deschamps knew that Laporte was an unintentional remark, but in order to avoid possible internal strife, he would rather abandon Laporte. The silent and invisible ban on Laporte has also become the consensus of the French Football Association.

Calculating it this way, Laporte can be regarded as the most powerful relic in world football, but Zhuo Yang did not have the idea of ​​naturalizing him because he found out that Laporte had already woken up and there was no need for 201 scores. Go ahead and mess around.

Now, Laporte has become Zhuo Yang’s teammate.

Manchester City's target in the winter window has always been Laporte, but it was concealed very well. But the facts show that no matter how much you conceal it, you are just adding to the drama, and Bilbao does not want to sell it at all.

At the end of the wrangling, seeing that the winter window was about to close, Manchester City had no choice but to make bigger moves and throw out about 70 million euros. Of this amount, 5 million is youth training fee.

At this point, Laporte has become the second most valuable defender in the history of Manchester City after De Bruyne, and the most valuable defender after Van Dijk in the entire history of football.

Because the exchange rate between the pound and the euro has fluctuated greatly in recent years, when calculating euros, Tintin is Manchester City's top player. Looking only at pounds, Laporta is actually two million more expensive than Tintin.

In this era when players are often worth hundreds of millions, Manchester City has a lot of money and is not stupid to follow the hype. The fact that 57 million pounds can become the most expensive in the history of the team speaks volumes.

£57 million! This number exceeds that of 52 countries around the world in 201

However, Laporte, one of the best left backs in La Liga in the past two seasons and one of the "three major central defenders" in La Liga this season with Ramos and Pique, must be worth the price.
