Chapter 630 [For the Alliance, Temporary Changes]
Adam Silva's NBA career is legendary.
After further studying law from the University of Chicago, Silva worked as a litigant in a law firm in New York, where David Stern also stayed there. Later, Silva, who wanted to change careers, wrote a very detailed self-recommendation letter to this senior who had already achieved success in the NBA. After reading it, Stern was very satisfied and asked him to be a personal assistant.
In 1992, Silva began to work for the NBA. He was an absolute workaholic and never married. In order to facilitate work, he chose to buy an apartment not far from the NBA headquarters as soon as he had money.
Not long after, Silva became the senior executive of NBA and the president of NBA Entertainment Alliance. In 2003, Silva was listed as one of the most influential business people in the world by Time Magazine and CNN.
To put it bluntly, Silva started out in pan-entertainment, and NBA gradually became a business alliance with super profitable capabilities. He has taken a large part of his contribution, and many entertainment ideas were thought out. What he is good at is not to make the competition more intense, but to help everyone raise their wages together.
Silva felt that Guo Xu would be able to talk to him very much because they all like to show off. However, when he called Guo Xu, he felt nervous.
No matter how good the plan is, Guo Xu refused the league, but he couldn't help it because he didn't show off when performing before the rookie game and helping the rookie warm up. Guo Xu might still feel used and feel uncomfortable.
After chatting for a few words, Guo Xu asked a question: "How much time do I have to perform? If I just sing a song, I'm not interested."
Silva explained: "There is no time limit. We just hope you can interact with the fans for a while, because you are the most popular star at the moment. If you are just a supporting role on the Houston Star Weekend, everyone will be disappointed. As long as you want, you can use the Toyota Center to hold a solo concert before the rookie game starts."
Guo Xu asked with a smile: "Really? If I ask a team to plan a concert, the alliance will not stop it. I have to help me promote it. If I make money, everyone will share it together."
"Uh... you really want to hold a concert." Silva was so thoughtful that he had no precedent in the American sports circle. "Will this affect your playing condition?"
"I won't participate in the next day's event. I will help the home team's stars create opportunities, and I can't be tired. I need your and David's guarantee. If he objected, I hope you can help me convince him." Guo Xu offered his own conditions.
"Okay, I promise you, but you have to tell us what the program is and discuss the feasibility in advance."
"Give me about two weeks to think about it, and I'll reply to you at that time."
Silva believes that it is no big deal for Guo Xu to hold a concert. He doesn’t have many original songs and should be able to finish singing soon. The first day of the event will definitely be full of fans and the attention will be available.
What Guo Xu wants to do is not the same thing as what Silva wants. It is much more complicated and difficult, and he needs a team.
For the sake of the alliance, he wants to steal the limelight from the tribe's rookies...
With two high scores, while Guo Xu's popularity soared, Meghan Fox also became more popular. The movie "Happy Death Day" has a very high attention, and people want to see how Guo Xu's girlfriend can perform in the movie that takes the lead.
When Meghan promotes the movie, the reporter and host will also ask her about Guo Xu, such as whether he will train basketball at home? Is he working hard in training?
Most academic masters never admit that they are academic masters, and some people even do not admit that they are hardworking, humble, and secretly feel relieved behind their backs. Some media suspect that Guo Xu is such a person and want to find evidence to prove this. Maybe he is the kind of player who gets up to practice football at 4 a.m. every day?
Megan pouted and blew, and replied without thinking: "He never trains at home. This person is really lazy and knows how to play. It's simply useless. You see, he always holds his head up and his chest when attending activities outside, and his physical strength is as if he can't finish it. In fact, he just wants to leave a good impression. At home, he usually lies in this position to watch TV."
After Meghan finished speaking, he learned something and came to Ge You, who was desperate to live on the couch of the talk show. He didn't focus his eyes, which caused laughter.
Meghan starred in two movies, all of which are comedy. Since she met Guo Xu in 2000, her style has been deviated. She has just emoticons in the upcoming movies, so there is no need to deliberately create the image of a goddess.
The host asked: "Can he cook at home? Now the Fat Fox Pizza Restaurant is getting bigger and bigger, and everyone knows that you are very knowledgeable about eating."
Megan smiled and said, "He is very knowledgeable about eating, but he just eats and almost never cooks. He plays with it after eating, and doesn't brush tableware. I always serve him at home."
The host asked: "Then what he does? Do you do music and movie creation?"
Megan thought for a while and replied: "At home, we just surf the Internet, play games, chat, watch movies, and play anyway. He always plays when he creates away games, and there is no fun stuff in the hotel, and when he is thinking about it, the inspiration comes. What I said is his original words, not what I made up."
The audience applauded again. They didn't feel that the idol's image was disillusioned, but they thought Guo Xu was quite interesting.
Although Megan was talking about his embarrassing things, it proved that he was really a genius because he really didn't work hard.
The reporter asked: "He plays on holidays, aren't he afraid of not being able to win the game? Do he often talk about basketball with you?"
"No, we are talking about movies, music, food, where to play during holidays, etc. He said basketball games are usually taken for granted, just like this." Megan learned about Guo Xu's cat-felt action and showed off his performance without real objects. "With Amare, Sean, Joe and others in the past, I won just by playing around. This year I was so unlucky, I had to play by myself..."
Megan realized it later and turned over and sighed. "It's bad. He often said that I have a big mouth and can't hide things. It's best to discuss with him what to say first, so as not to offend people. I'm so happy that the movie will be released tomorrow. I'll say too much if I accidentally say it. I don't know if I can say these."
The audience burst into laughter and then applauded enthusiastically.
Meghan lost the truth when she heard the applause and continued to reveal the news, shaking out the matter that Guo Xu complained before leaving that she could not do more. She suggested that Guo Xu compete in the form of acting, but he did not expect that he did it and got high scores in two consecutive games.
Meghan smiled very proudly, feeling that his advice helped Guo Xu become stronger. Behind every successful man there is a woman who supports him. In fact, this is only useful for cheaters.
At the end of the show, Meghan announced that Guo Xu would be with him tomorrow to attend the film premiere in Los Angeles.
The host asked curiously: "Don't he fly to Detroit in a away schedule? There will be a match for the Suns on the 16th, and he will fly to attend the premiere tomorrow?"
"He originally planned not to participate, but he called me after the competition today and said he had changed his mind temporarily and didn't want me to walk the red carpet in Los Angeles by himself. He decided to take a leave and fly back and fly to Detroit to participate in the competition on the morning of the 16th." Megan showed a happy smile, and even the smile was revealed.
Many female audiences were envious of him. Is he really loves him? He flew from the east to the west during his away trip. Isn’t he tired?
