Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 174 [Greedy Mermaid, Strong in the West and Weak in the East]

On February 1, Guo Xu, O'Neal, and Megan Fox filmed a potato chip commercial together on the Venice River in Los Angeles. The river here is clear and the scenery on both sides is beautiful.

The weather in Los Angeles can be said to be pleasant all year round. The summer is mild with little rainfall, while the winter is not very cold with more rainfall. Plants can grow all year round, so some annual plants become perennial plants in Los Angeles.

In February, the average daytime temperature in Los Angeles is between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius, and between 8 and 15 degrees Celsius at night. The sun is shining brightly this afternoon, and the temperature is above 20 degrees. Three people can go into the water without any problems, and they will not catch cold or cold.

The plot of the advertisement is very simple. Guo Xu and O'Neill are sitting on a small boat fishing. Guo Xu held a fishing rod, and O'Neill held a large bucket of Lay's potato chips. The product logo was particularly conspicuous.

Guo Xu complained: We have been fishing for several hours and there is not a single fish.

O'Neill was eating potato chips, squinting his eyes and said slowly: Some people can catch it, and some people can't. It's normal.

Guo Xu stretched out his hand and asked, Can you give me something to eat?

Of course. O'Neill handed over the potato chips.

Guo Xu only ate one piece and showed a surprised expression. He was so inspired that he quickly sprinkled some potato chips in the water.

Then the mermaid played by Megan emerged from the water, and the two people on the boat were startled and said Wow together.

Megan held the edge of the boat with one hand and stuffed potato chips into her mouth with the other hand. She licked her lips and showed a very seductive expression. This is what she is best at. The director of the commercial wanted to applaud when he looked at the camera. Her acting skills were so explosive. .

The camera switched and gave Guo Xu a close-up, showing a fascinated expression.

Ka, very good! The director stopped and the shooting was over.

It would be nice if the plot ended here, but they had already shot some footage in the house before. By then the commercial had been edited, and the next scene showed Guo Xu and O'Neal arriving at home, with Megan's mermaid hanging on the wall, smiling. The two of them were eating potato chips and looking at the wall, and O'Neill said, Good fishing.

This kind of twist in the plot will definitely make the audience unforgettable, but Megan is not happy. She feels that she has been cheated by Guo Xu, and her image is completely ruined. Will she focus on comedy in the entertainment industry in the future?

The painting style is even more distorted and is a modified version. This will not be broadcast on TV, but can be filmed and used as publicity online.

The plot is that Guo Xu and Mei Mei go fishing at sea.

Guo Xu holds the fishing rod and is replaced by Megan eating potato chips. The dialogue is the same as the original version.

The difference was that when Guo Xu tasted the potato chips and poured them into the water, what came out of the water was O'Neal. After the filming is done here, special effects will be added to turn it into a sea monster version of O'Neal with octopus tentacles on the lower body.

O'Neal showed a very lewd smile while eating potato chips, and then dragged Guo Xu into the water, who had no place to hide and looked horrified.

The rest of the footage was also shot in the house. After editing, the next scene shows Guo Xu being hung on the wall. The sea monster O'Neill was in a place similar to Dragon Palace City in the sea, wearing a crown, and there was a fishman guard beside him and said good fishing.

After filming this version, Megan feels a little more balanced. Everyone takes turns hanging it on the wall. Come on, let’s hurt each other!

In the evening, O'Neal invited a new girlfriend to have a dinner for four people to celebrate their happy cooperation in the commercial.

Guo Xu was actually not in a very happy mood because the complete lineup for the NBA All-Star Game was announced.

He ultimately ranked third in the Western Conference guard popularity poll, behind Kobe and Kidd, and failed to enter. It's a pity that he is not among the 7 substitutes selected by the coaches. He can only participate in the Rookie Challenge and the Three-Point Contest.

Five players in the West: Kidd (Suns), Kobe (Lakers), Garnett (Timberwolves), Duncan (Spurs), O'Neal (Lakers).

Seven substitutes: Michael Finley (Mavericks), Antonio McDyess (Nuggets), Chris Webber (Kings), Rasheed Wallace (Trail Blazers), Karl Malone (Jazz), Gary Payton (Super League) Sonics), David Robinson (Spurs).

The Western Conference lineup is too unreasonable. There are only four swingmen and point guards, and the rest are all inside, and both point guards are big men over 190cm tall.

It is said that the Western Conference would be better off with an extra point guard like Guo Xu, but the coaches don't care about this. They look down on the newcomers, and it has nothing to do with popularity.

There are only a handful of stars who can be selected as All-Stars in their rookie seasons, and Guo Xu only remembers two. The first one is Yao Ming. Chinese fans really wanted to see him, so they voted directly and even O'Neal had to be a substitute. The other one is Blake Griffin, who is highly praised by the league. In his rookie season, he impressed fans with various dunks.

Neither LeBron James nor Carmelo Anthony was selected as an All-Star in their rookie season. Especially after Anthony joined the Nuggets, he immediately became the boss and led the team to the playoffs, averaging 21+6 per game, but no one cared about it. Later, it was not until 2007 that Anthony was selected for the All-Star Game for the first time, averaging 29 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists per game, and he was only a substitute.

Although Guo Xu is outstanding among rookies, it is very difficult to score 20+ points this season. Unless the OK combination takes the initiative to give up the ball, then both of them feel that they have not taken enough shots. How can they give up again?

In addition, the competition for All-Star spots in the Western Conference will become increasingly fierce. With Yao Ming joining the NBA, Francis' popularity will increase significantly as long as he goes to the Rockets.

Nash has also begun to rise in the Mavericks. If Guo Xu wants to enter the All-Star Game next season, in addition to a good team record, he must also have enough good data to stand out among a group of people.

The lineup of the Eastern team is obviously weaker than that of the Western team, and they can barely afford 12 stars.

Five: Iverson, Ratliff (76ers), Vince Carter (Raptors), Tracy McGrady (Magic), Anthony Mason Jr. (Heat)

Seven substitutes: Marbury (Nets), Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson (Bucks), Stackhouse (Pistons), Sprewell, Alan Houston (Knicks), Antonio Davis ( Raptors).

Many of the players with good statistics on this 12-man roster are outside the playoffs, and there are also popular players who are missing due to injuries. Mourning and Grant Hill were both voted in by the fans and have barely played this season.

Antonio Davis unexpectedly rose to prominence after joining the Raptors and hit the peak of his career. He is considered a relatively reliable insider in the Eastern Conference.

After comparison, Guo Xu found that although the Western Conference lineup was very unreasonable, the Eastern Conference could not win at all. It was a big problem for them to let them guard O'Neal. What's more, the Western team also has Garnett, Duncan, Webb, and Rasheed Wallace. The NBA's strongest power forwards are all concentrated in the Western Conference. Nowitzki has not been selected. Currently, he is not in the top ten in terms of popularity.

The pattern of strong in the west and weak in the east has begun and will continue for nearly 20 years.

If he goes to the East, Guo Xu may become an All-Star, but he will have no chance in the West for the time being.

To put it bluntly, he is still not famous enough, and the NBA president is unwilling to spend a lot of effort to praise him. The Chinese media also have very little interest in him. They usually only do routine interviews and will not publicize it. If the Chinese fans are willing to vote for him to enter early, how can he lose his popularity to Kidd, whose team record is eighth in the Western Conference?

Guo Xu secretly vowed to play well in every next game and he wanted to become famous as soon as possible!
