Chapter 1 The "Red Army" Bar

The "Red Army" bar is a gathering place for Liverpool fans, a place where they usually get together to drink and chat. On match days, it becomes a place for everyone to gather and watch the game together.

Now, it has become the base of the "Red Giants."

Because this bar is the property of Tom Jackson's father, Big Tom Jackson.

Close to the water, the first to see the moon, Tom Jackson and Phil Gibbs, and Adam Smith, these three young men have used this bar as a gathering place for the core members of their "Red Giants."

Now these young people are gathered together, excitedly talking about the game against Newcastle United that just ended a few days ago.

Liverpool beat Newcastle United at home, continuing to sit firmly at the top of the league—this is not worth discussing, everyone has discussed it enough this season.

What excites them so much is what they witnessed with their own eyes in the game.

When Newcastle equalized, the "Red Giants" took the lead in chanting Chen Hero's name, and then the whole stadium chanted together.

They felt that this was a way to cheer on Chen Hero, to tell Chen Hero that the fans trusted him.

But they didn't expect Chen Hero to raise his fist in response.

This surprised them.

They had done this in the game against Manchester United, and Chen Hero had also responded with a surprise. They were also very excited, but the excitement lasted only a few days. As time passed, they gradually forgot about it. For them, it was just an idol star responding and interacting with his supporters. Nothing unusual.

After all, that was the first time, and maybe there wouldn't be another time in the future?

So when Chen Hero responded for the second time, several core young men quickly reacted—Chen Hero is responsive, he heard our calls and took them seriously! He will work hard to respond to our calls!

This feeling is like a group of fans chanting every day: "God, let me meet my idol, talk to him, and have dinner with him again!" Then their idol descends from the sky, appears in front of them, and says to them with a smile: "I heard your calls, so I came to fulfill your requests!"

The fans found that no matter what they chanted, as long as it was related to their idol, the idol could hear it and respond. This made the fans feel very accomplished and satisfied, feeling that they were valued by their idol. In this way, they would worship and like the idol more wholeheartedly—who doesn't want their idol to be nice to them?

Looking around the world, there are so many idols and so many fans, but how many idols can value their fans like Chen Hero, give them his response, and never let his fans down?

Very few.

Idols at most return to their fans with autographs and photos. This is too common! Our Hero can also do it, nothing special. But when we chant his name in the stands, will idols from other families respond and fulfill our wishes?

Never!

Chen Hero is different, he can hear our calls, and he will respond, fulfill our requests, and never let us down!

Such an idol is one of a kind!

This makes many fans of the Red Giants feel different and proud.

After that game, the scale of the Red Giants fan group suddenly expanded by nearly a third, and people continued to ask to join, and even some smaller fan groups came to join collectively. It was all because of that game that they were inspired by Chen Hero's charm.

These past two days, Phil Gibbs, who is responsible for external liaison, has been exhausted. Only tonight did he have a chance to take a breather, have a drink with the core members of the team, and chat.

Almost from the beginning, everyone's topic was about Chen Hero. They talked about the game against Newcastle.

Then they realized that their means of cheering for Chen Hero were too monotonous. Besides chanting Hero's name, there was no other way.

"We used to be able to do this, but we can't do it anymore, guys. Think about it, when the game is intense, we cheer for Hero in the stands, chanting his name, thousands of people, ten thousand people do the same. And then... Hero raises his right fist! What's that like? He thinks we are calling him, asking him for something! But in reality, we just want to cheer him on..." Adam Smith said very seriously.

The people around him laughed. Because this scene is really funny...

"Yes, it's too monotonous for us to cheer like this now. I think we should find other effective ways to cheer for Hero!" Tom Jackson nodded after laughing.

"Let's sing. Hasn't singing always been our powerful weapon?" Phil Gibbs suggested.

Others also expressed their approval.

Singing is the main means used by fans all over the world, which can be said to be a "conventional weapon." Moreover, the stadium is indeed a very suitable place for a chorus. As long as there are enough people, once you start singing, it will be like there is a sound amplification effect in the stadium, which sounds very spectacular. So this is why singing is a cheering method that fans all over the world like to use.

Especially English fans. Not to mention the team song of each team. In addition to the team song, there are many fan songs that will be sung by fans during the game. In addition to fan songs and team songs, almost every player in the team will have one to several exclusive songs belonging to them. Fans will sing in the stands to cheer for them. Not only players, but also coaches.

Whether a player has a song dedicated to him means whether he has won the support and recognition of the majority of fans.

There are also songs that belong to Chen Hero, but they are very simple, just "Ah—Hero! Hero~~~~Hero!" etc. Now, because of the "responding to calls" thing, this kind of simple singing is also easily considered to be calling Chen Hero, which may bring some trouble to Chen Hero.

In addition, these songs are very ordinary in terms of lyrics and melody. Most player-exclusive songs are like this, just simply repeating a player's name, but changing from shouting to singing, adding a melody.

The fans of the "Red Giants" believe that with Chen Hero's performance, how can this simple and monotonous song be worthy of him? Obviously, Chen Hero should have a song that belongs only to him, a majestic and impressive song.

Moreover, the "Red Giants" also need such a song to enhance their overall image and increase the team's cohesion. Now more and more new fans are joining. What can we use to distinguish ourselves from other fan groups? In addition to designing flags, logos, and cultural shirts, songs are also an important means.

Therefore, the suggestion to make a song for Chen Hero was unanimously approved.

But what song to choose?

This stumped everyone.

Generally speaking, fans rarely sing songs that they have composed themselves. They all find those more popular songs and then add their own adapted lyrics. The advantage of doing this is that everyone is familiar with the song itself, and almost everyone can sing it. As long as you change the lyrics, you can make it popular. If you compose your own music, you have to teach people to sing it, which takes effort. Not to mention that you don't have the conditions to teach thousands of people to sing...

Not only fan songs, but also club team songs are like this. English football clubs are different from Italian football clubs. English team songs often choose popular songs, while Italian team songs invite composers and singers to write lyrics and compose music to create a new song.

"About this song... why don't we post it online and ask for opinions?"

After thinking for a long time and not knowing what song to choose, Tom Jackson finally suggested.

His suggestion was approved by everyone.

Putting it on the Internet to gather ideas is a good idea. Some time ago, an Arsenal fan solicited ideas on Twitter on how to deal with Chen Hero, which attracted even TV stations and newspapers, forming a great public opinion influence. Liverpool fans can also follow suit.

※※※

In this way, Phil Gibbs, a popular fan, publicly solicited songs to cheer for Chen Hero on his Twitter. He suggested that they should all be popular music so that everyone could learn it easily.

There are many enthusiastic Liverpool fans.

In one day, they made more than 800 suggestions under this tweet.

The people in charge of the "Red Giants" also kept a close eye on the progress, looking for suitable songs.

But after reading these more than 800 messages, everyone was disappointed.

Because the songs these people suggested are popular, but most of them don't match Chen Hero's temperament at all—they think Chen Hero's temperament should be fierce, dangerous, strong, and indomitable. Those soft and wimpy popular songs, which everyone usually thinks are very nice, are discordant when paired with Chen Hero's image. Some people even suggested using Taylor Swift's songs to cheer for Chen Hero, and Tom Jackson simply didn't know what this person was thinking...

Some people also suggested using rock and gave many classic rock songs, such as "We Will Rock You", "We Are the Champions"... Some people also suggested using Liverpool's symbol, the music of the Beatles. They said that since Villarreal in Spain used the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine" as their representative song, why can't we use our hometown team's music?

This sounds quite tempting. The best team plus the best band, plus the best star in the world, what a perfect combination!

But this idea was rejected by Phil Gibbs and Tom Jackson.

Although they also like the Beatles' songs very much, the temperament of the two is really incompatible...

The Beatles are literary youths. Even if they like Chen Hero very much, they would not think that Chen Hero can have anything to do with "literary youth"...

He is... some other kind of youth, haha!

Just when Tom Jackson and the others were racking their brains to choose a song for Chen Hero, a message from a Russian netizen attracted his attention.

"I noticed your activity a few days ago, and I also carefully browsed all the messages. I am very sorry that no one noticed this fact—Hero debuted in our Saint Petersburg Zenit, he comes from the snowy Russia! No song is more suitable for his feeling than this!"

Then he put a music playback link below.

Tom Jackson clicked in, and his eyes lit up as soon as he heard the prelude!

He knows this song, this song is indeed very famous, and most importantly... it really matches Chen Hero's temperament!!
