In addition to practicing his killer moves, Wang Zelin also takes time to rehearse with the members of the Gini Taimei Dance Troupe to increase their tacit understanding.
This year's NBA All-Stars are filled with Chinese elements, and the program they prepared this year is to perform the traditional Chinese fan dance.
A group of NBA tough guys turned into graceful dancers and performed a fan dance in the center of Portland's Rose Garden Arena... The sight of that scene makes people feel extremely excited just thinking about it.
As for the dance soundtrack?
Naturally, I followed the old rules and contacted my old friend Jay Chou!
Speaking of which, Jay Chou in his previous life had a well-known nickname in the Chinese music scene, called "Ace Pigeon". This person can be called the biggest liar in the Chinese music scene.
Since the release of his 14th album "Jay Chou's Bedside Story" on January 24, 2016, Jay Chou has basically entered the ace pigeon mode. Even in 0202, before Wang Zelin traveled through time, he still had no tendency to release an album.
On the other hand, in many interviews with the media, One Stop assured fans that the new album would be released in a few months or at the end of the year, but the result... was naturally rejected one after another.
During this period, Jay Chou was completely immersed in the dual happiness of family and milk tea. On February 2, when Wang Zelin invited him to help sing at the scene, the man actually hesitated.
My uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt cannot!
For the sake of the majority of Chinese music fans, we can no longer let this guy indulge in the ocean of milk tea.
Ever since, Wang Zelin decisively launched his wife's strategy and asked Kendou to contact Kunling privately and invite her to come to the United States.
Kunling is here, can the ace pigeon be far behind?
As we all know, Jay Chou is famous for doting on his wife.
For his beloved wife's movie "Sky Fire", the majestic King Pigeon unexpectedly came up with a new song "I Believe So", although this could not save the bad reputation of the movie "Sky Fire".
To break it down, Kunming is definitely professional in the aspect of "prodigal".
After marrying Jay Chou in 2015, in addition to the 2018 purely Hollywood production "The Rock" starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, which did not lose money, and the unreleased director Wang Xueqi's debut "In the Name of the Father".
Kunling's other works were a complete mess.
In 2017, "Dream Days" had an investment of 45 million and a box office of 500,000. The loss was basically the same as the investment.
It was also "Pursuit" in 2007, with an investment of more than 200 million, a box office of 17.61 million, and a loss of 190 million.
At the end of 2019, the investment in "Sky Fire" was estimated to be no less than 300 million, with a box office of 170 million and a loss of 200 million.
Plus what Wang Zelin doesn’t know about 2021’s “The Wind and Cloud”.
Over the past four years, the total loss of movies starring Kun Ling is estimated to exceed 800 million. It is difficult not to think of these four words - "box office poison".
Strangely enough, it is usually difficult for an actor with such a poor box office to take on a role.
However, Kunling has basically maintained its internationalization and Chinese A-level high-end, and the reasons are self-evident.
Ever since Jay Chou and Kun Ling got married, he can be said to have doted on Kun Ling like a princess. Even though Kun Ling lost so much, Jay Chou still invested hard and even wrote songs to express his love for her.
No wonder many netizens say that Kunling saved the galaxy in her previous life.
Facts have proved that Wang Zelin's decision to take the wife route was quite wise.
Quinlivan, who was originally a model, immediately put down the work on the new movie "Dream Days" she was preparing as soon as she received the invitation from international supermodel Kendall, and decided to fly to Portland first.
Then... Jay Chou, who is a maniac about doting on his wife, could only temporarily put down the milk tea in his hands and came to Portland with his family of three.
And then...he was recruited by Wang Zelin to be a young man, responsible for the soundtrack for this year's All-Star opening dance.
After some discussion, it was finally decided that the background music would be "Fearless", which was released on January 20, 2006, composed and sung by Jay Chou, written by Fang Wenshan, and arranged by Hong Jingyao.
This song is the theme song of the same name for the movie "Fearless Fearless". It is also another of Jay Chou's masterpieces after "Nunchaku" and "Dragon Fist" at that time. It starts with the majestic Chinese musical instrument drum, and uses guzheng, flute, etc.
It is a Chinese-style hip-hop song with a large number of ancient musical instruments as the soundtrack.
The lyrics are full of martial arts spirit, spreading positive messages to young people and awakening them to cherish life.
That year, Jay Chou won the Best Single Producer Award at the 18th Baodao Golden Melody Awards for this song.
It's a coincidence that the cover image of "Fearless" at that time happened to be a photo of Jay Chou wearing a Tang suit and holding a fan in his hand.
Celestial elements, Chinese style songs, fan dance...
Good guy, looking at it this way, "Huo Yuanjia" is really the right choice. All the elements Wang Zelin wanted are all gathered in this song.
Sure enough, every urban literary traveler must have the plot of picking up Jay Chou's wool. This guy's achievements in music are really awesome!
Bitcat Charlotte is outrageous!!!
With the help of Jay Chou and the professional team behind him, from the 4th to today the 19th, each member of the dance troupe has been practicing the fan dance of the same name in "Fearless Fearless" in private for almost two weeks, and has basically mastered it.
Got it.
At the All-Star Weekend, Wang Zelin, James, Curry and the rest only need to improve the tacit understanding among the members through joint training and get familiar with their positions.

On the other side, the All-Star Rookie Game is in full swing.
In the first half, the two teams attacked at a very fast pace. The World Team sent out a "four white and one black" lineup, which became a unique scenery on the court.
In terms of cooperation, the international rookies who are accustomed to FIBA rules are obviously more fluid and selfless. Saric, Exum, and Zubac successively sent wonderful passes, and Hield became the biggest beneficiary of his teammates' assists.
In just 5 minutes, he scored 11 points alone.
At the end of the half, the World Team relied on more tacit team tactics to temporarily lead the United States team by 11 points at 77:66.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! On such a stage filled with rookies, the talents of both sides are basically equal, and the World Team, which is good at using tactics, is obviously the more advantageous side.
Tactics and other things, the American team will definitely not be able to play for a while. Now it depends on whether any of these young people can stand up and turn the tide.
The intermission is over and the game changes sides and the battle begins again.
When the game started, Team World continued to work hard. Saric hit a three-pointer and the point difference reached 12 points.
Fortunately, under the instructions of the coach, the American team gave full play to their physical advantages. On the defensive end, they continued to strengthen on-court confrontation and improve defensive intensity.
During the offense, Russell singled out Sabonis, stepped back and jumped into the net. Kaminsky made consecutive three-pointers.
Relying on the sudden outburst of several players, the American team successfully overtook the score.
After that, Russell dribbled the ball again, retreated to the outside and made a three-pointer. The American team led 116-111, forcing the World Team to call a timeout.
After the timeout, the two teams started a real showdown. Kaminsky continued his hot touch and scored another three-pointer. The Spurs' Simmons played a defensive end and gave Buddy Hield a volleyball-style hot pot block.
But then, Lakers rookie Jamal Murray took over the offense. His elegant three-pointers and cool layups could easily break the opponent's defense.
In just 4 minutes, Murray had already scored 13 points in a row, and his explosive performance was recognized by the boss on the court, Kobe Bryant.
Mouth Mamba, that’s Mamba too!
Relying on Murray's breakthrough, Team World also regained the lead.
Entering the last two and a half minutes, the game fell into an anxious moment. The American team seemed unwilling to surrender the victory and gave up the victory, which made people want to fight back.
At the critical moment, Mamba Murray stepped forward again and hit two three-pointers in succession. He scored 6 points in a row, basically killing the suspense of the game.
At the end of the game, the World Team defeated the United States Team 150-141.
For the United States, Russell had 12 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, Booker had 17 points and 6 assists, Chriss had 7 points, Towns had 24 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists, Myles Turner had 12 points and 4 rebounds, Cummings
Key had 33 points, 3 rebounds and 9 of 13 three-pointers, Ingram had 4 points and 3 rebounds, Brogdon had 3 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, Okafor had 10 points and 2 rebounds, and Jonathan Simmons had 19 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
For the World Team, Exum scored 11 points and 4 assists, Hield had 28 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, Zubac had 12 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, Porzingis had 24 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists.
Qi had 17 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Abrines had 3 points, Lyles had 7 points, Sabonis had 10 points, and Hernangomez had 2 points and 6 rebounds.
But the most outstanding performance is none other than the young guard Jamal Murray, who was selected by the Lakers with the 13th overall pick in this draft.
In this campaign, Murray only played 20 points and scored 36 points, 3 rebounds and 11 assists. Among them, he made 9 of 14 shots from beyond the three-point line, which was astonishingly efficient.
In the end, with his outstanding performance in the second half, Murray stood out among many new stars and won the rookie game MVP as a freshman.
After the game, as expected, all the media, large and small, unanimously adopted the same headline: the miracle of the No. 13 pick in the first round has been fulfilled again!
On major social media, fans are also frantically reposting the same sentence:
If you hold the No. 13 pick and don’t know what to pick, then pick a shooting guard!
This sentence originally came from Kobe, a man who entered the NBA in high school.
Kobe's career is undoubtedly extremely brilliant. Five championships in his career are enough to prove his greatness.
It was precisely because of Kobe and the Mamba Mentality that he successfully inspired many young guards in the future.
And with many teams using the 13th pick in the first round of the draft, they have really found many outstanding guard prospects, such as Zach LaVine, Devin Booker, and Mitchell, the 13th pick shooting guards.
The emergence of No. 13 once again verified the magic of pick No. 13.
This sentence has completely become a classic chant in the NBA!
…
On the morning of February 20th, the annual NBA All-Star Game ushered in the second day of exciting and rich activities.
There will be three individual competitions today, the first of which is the skills challenge.
Among the participating players, the biggest one is of course Damian Lillard, the point guard of the host Portland Trail Blazers.
As one of the few point guards in three consecutive championship dynasties in NBA history, Lillard and Wang Zelin have helped each other since their rookie season and have grown up together. He is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in the league's defense line.
Although from the perspective of personal strength, both Curry and Harden of 2009 are better than Lillard, and Westbrook, who has exploded in form this season, is better than Lillard, but in terms of overall momentum, Lillard
Not only is De not inferior to the previous three, on the contrary, he is the one with the greatest reputation outside.
After all, the bonus of the dynasty point guard is there. Before Curry, Harden, and Westbrook win the championship, it is basically difficult to surpass Lillard. If it is extraordinary, it will be equal.
Therefore, after Lillard, one of the strongest defenders currently active, announced his participation in the Skills Challenge, he immediately added a lot of interest to the event.
Similar to when Wang Zelin announced his participation in the dunk contest, the popularity of the dunk contest almost surpassed that of the main game.
At the same time, Lillard is the winner of the 2013 All-Star Skills Challenge and already has one championship in his hands. From an experience point of view, he is more powerful than Porzingis and Hayward, two strong competitors.
But after the game started, the results were shocking.
After participating in the competition with a height of 2.21 meters, Porzingis successfully broke the previous record of the tallest player in the Skills Challenge held by Towns and became the final winner.
He first defeated Gordon Hayward from the Jazz in the first round. After entering the finals, in order to catch up with Lillard in time, he actually chose to take a long three-pointer in the logo area, and he even scored.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the end, Porzingis defeated Lillard with a slight advantage of 0.02 seconds, bringing the big men a skill challenge for the second consecutive year.
Championship trophy.
Although in the post-game interview, when talking about the key to victory, the economist answered very honestly that the final three-pointer had a lot of luck, but Lillard, who just missed the championship in such a muddle, still had a look on his face when he came back.
depressed.
Lillard thought that Wang Zelin wanted to seek comfort, but he didn't expect that this bitch actually hugged Curry on the left and Harden on the right, and the three of them laughed at him.
Where are you playing love transfer?!
This made Lillard's already depressed mood even worse. He snorted and turned back to the locker room.
As the skills challenge ended, the arena staff quickly came to clean up the venue.
Seeing this, the surrounding fans quickly stopped their noise and took out their mobile phones or other devices, preparing to record everything that happened next.
The NBA stars sitting next to them also stopped and whispered to each other. Some people took out their mobile phones, and some even more exaggeratedly carried the cameras prepared in advance, all of which were pointed at the players' tunnel.
The reason why there are such changes on the scene is that in a while, the much-anticipated slam dunk contest is about to come!
Of course, there are also some who are calmer.
"How about going to eat something first and come back later?" James suggested to Irving.
Duncan, the "Stone Buddha" who had just retired, sat next to his two old teammates and Manu, and subconsciously looked towards Manu's head.
As a result, Manu nimbly dodged him, and his hand stayed awkwardly in the air.
"Tim, I don't have many hairs now, are you going to let me go?"
Manu said with a resentful look.
"..."
Now Duncan was even more embarrassed.
Don't think that NBA stars don't surf the Internet. In fact, many of them are surfers, and they are very familiar with many memes among the fan base.
Fortunately, the lights suddenly dimmed at the next moment, attracting Manu's attention and allowing Duncan to quietly heave a sigh of relief.
Is what the media calls the most luxurious slam dunk contest in history about to begin?
