Legend of Tomorrow

On January 25, Suns players had a holiday, and Guo Xu went to the airport to pick him up at noon with his agent Happy Waters.

Counting past lives, Guo Xu has known Avril Lavigne for more than 20 years. It was the first time he saw her in person, and he was inevitably a little excited. In fact, more than his fame, he is now a superstar, while Avril is just an outstanding newcomer in the music industry.

Guo Xu recognized her at a glance. Her long blond hair spread naturally to both sides. She was wearing jeans, a green jacket, and a black and white tie. She unbuttoned all the buttons of her coat, frowned, fanned herself in the face, and said something to the big white man wearing sunglasses next to her. She was probably complaining that Phoenix was too hot.

The average temperature in Phoenix in January is 5-19 degrees. Where is winter here? Most people who come here for the first time will wear more clothes.

As he got closer, Guo Xu discovered that Avril was dressed like an ordinary college student, with a cute and charming figure, and was not a celebrity at all. She had no makeup, her face was bare, and her misty smoky makeup was only done during performances.

According to the traditional American aesthetics, she is not a beauty. She has flat chest, no sexy waist and hips, and her facial features are not attractive at all. However, she looks quite cute when she smiles with her little fangs showing. She exudes the vitality and strength of a teenager, and her clear eyes are a little bit shy and stubborn.

Avril Lavigne became famous because she tapped into the inner rebellion of a group of teenagers. The spontaneity of her words, the way she makes a big voice with her small body, and the great truths in her lyrics that only people of her age can understand, are like the rebellious dream in everyone's heart.

Nice to meet you, Jason. You're more handsome than you look on TV, and you're much taller. Avril walked up to Guo Xu familiarly and compared his height with her hands, looking surprised.

Guo Xu smiled and said: You know? I think your current expression should be matched with the background music when they first saw the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park.

Hahaha, if someone asks me to appear on a talk show in the future, I will tell them this. Avril laughed.

The reference objects around Guo Xu on TV are a group of big men over 2 meters tall, which makes him look very thin. Compared with ordinary people, he has a toned figure. In the entertainment industry, he is above average in height. Brad Pitt, who is called the male god by many, is only 180cm.

Guo Xu looked at Avril for a few times and said with a smile: You are also very different from what you see on TV, except for the shape of the tie.

At the mention of this matter, Avril's expression turned into a bitter smile. I can only take it to next month. The company suggested that I change my look and stop wearing ties in the future. The media often talks bad about me because of this. Have you seen it?

Guo Xu nodded.

I think it's pretty good and has more personality.

In Avril Lavigne's previous life before 2003, wearing a tie was one of her signature behaviors. It is said that every time she travels, she always carries a large bag with more than thirty ties. She bought some of them, and the rest she got from her father or fans sent her.

After 2003, she never wore a tie again. The reason is that the media frequently reported that she used this look to hide her musical shortcomings in order to fool fans and set trends among her fans.

There are many popular people, right and wrong, this is an eternal truth.

The media now likes to compare Avril Lavigne and Britney, describing Britney as like someone else's child, better than Avril in everything, more famous, more successful and more status than her.

Last week, during an interview, a reporter compared Avril Lavigne with Britney and asked her if she would take the same route as Britney in the future. She said in a strange way: I don't want to be the next person, I just want to be the first me. .”

Then Avril Lavigne made headlines in entertainment news. This was a butterfly effect. She said Guo Xu’s golden words when he was with the Lakers, which attracted many people’s attention. Some thoughtful people even took advantage of the topic and portrayed her as someone who resisted Britney, wanted to knock her down, and disdained Britney.

This is indeed more topical and commercial. As a result, half of the people now hate Avril to death, and half of the people love her to death. This is exactly the same situation that Guo Xu faced when he PKed Iverson.

Avril has a good impression of Guo Xu, which is directly related to this golden sentence. She thinks that the two are very similar. Guo Xu is her close friend and can definitely understand many of her thoughts.

There are three people here with Avril today. The uncle Harry, who is about 1.9 meters tall, has blond hair and wears sunglasses, is Avril Lavigne's famous bodyguard. He cooperated with her as soon as she debuted. He carried Avril out of nightclubs after drinking too much on his back many times, and his appearance rate is quite high.

Another black uncle, Lucas, is also 1.85 meters tall. His arms are thicker than many heads. He is a super macho man. Last year, Lucas became famous for his street photos that were exposed on the Internet because he used his hands to cover Avril Lavigne's exposed underwear after drinking too much. After the photo was taken, because of the angle, it looked like a dirty hand, and was searched for human flesh by fans.

The third person is Avril Lavigne's female assistant Jessica, whose duties are similar to that of a nanny. The two are inseparable when they go out.

Avril Lavigne's agent did not come. This meeting did not involve a monetary contract, it was just a meeting between friends.

Hotel Guo Xu had already made arrangements and booked rooms for everyone, and communicated online in advance.

When they left the airport, someone recognized Avril and Guo Xu and came forward to ask for their autographs. Under the cover of their bodyguards, they got into an orange Chevrolet Camaro sports car, while the others got into Happy's Ford SUV.

After confirming to join the Suns, Guo Xu's car was changed to orange, which was specially given by Chevrolet. The Suns' away jersey is orange and the home jersey is white.

Bumblebee was left in Los Angeles by Guo Xu. Megan had obtained her driver's license and could drive to school by herself.

They checked into a hotel first, which was very close to Guo Xu's apartment and not far from the Suns' home court. It was very convenient to meet. Then everyone went to eat Western food together, Avril and Guo Xu shared a table, and the other four people shared a table.

Avril was very interested in Guo Xu's daily life and asked curiously: Don't you need a bodyguard when you go out? What if you are surrounded by fans?

I don't use bodyguards except for official events. I spend most of my time in the arena and at home. I don't go out much. When I go out to play, I take my teammates with me, and they are my bodyguards. And in Phoenix, the fans are not so fanatical. .”

NBA players are indeed more intimidating than professional bodyguards in terms of image. Except for the small point guard, they are all giant men that normal people need to look up to. The Suns also hired a security consultant to protect the players. Guo Xu was said to be a retired soldier and agent with strong capabilities.

Avril said with envy: I just finished an event in Los Angeles, and the star-chasers there are not as crazy as in New York. Since I became a star, my friends and I have gone out less and have less freedom.

Guo Xu complained in his heart, if you went out less to travel, you wouldn't be bitten by ticks and have to lie in bed for more than half a year!

He remembered that the reason why Avril was so seriously ill was because she was bitten by a bug and did not take it seriously. Later, the doctor misdiagnosed and delayed the best time for treatment. With Guo Xu here in this life, she would definitely not be so unlucky.

After chatting about music for a while, Avril asked with a smile: Are those two handsome guys playing the cello here? I can't wait to see their live performance.

Probably on the way. We agreed to meet at three o'clock.
