On June 1, after Xinwen Network finished broadcasting important news, a text message appeared.
[my country's famous basketball players Yao Ming and Zhang Zhiyuan jointly led the team to defeat their opponents and advance to the NBA Finals. Zhang Zhiyuan did not come off the field despite being injured and hit the winning goal, which demonstrated the tenacity and unyielding fighting spirit of our athletes. ]
Even though it was just a text message, even though it lasted only seven or eight seconds, and even though my face was not shown, it was still very difficult.
This is a program that has never fallen out of the top of the ratings list, with more than 200 million viewers in a single day.
At this time, Zhang Zhiyuan was truly a household name and became popular.
Some old men and women who don’t play basketball also remember Zhang Zhiyuan’s name.
CCTV’s roll call and praise is also a signal.
Other discerning people have chosen to follow suit and join in the fun.
"Like Zhang Zhiyuan, pray for Zhang Zhiyuan, and hope he gets better soon."
Great power.
"Zhang Zhiyuan is a national hero. He plays really well. I am also his fan."
Jackie Chan.
"Zhang Zhiyuan is my favorite basketball player. He is handsome and he also plays well."
White lily.
"Learn from Zhang Zhiyuan."
Huang nickname.
"My ideal partner is, of course, like Zhang Zhiyuan, tall, mighty, strong and confident..."
Bingbing publicly expressed her love on a talk show.
.......
Celebrities are taking advantage of this popularity to show their concern and love for their motherland.
But this is also a good thing for Zhang Zhiyuan, and fans of those celebrities have also paid attention to Zhang Zhiyuan.
After searching Zhang Zhiyuan's deeds, many people fell in love with him.
For a time, Zhang Zhiyuan became the most popular figure in the country, and his heroic deeds and topics were all over the news.
This can be regarded as a small boost to China's basketball career.
"Why haven't you contacted Zhang Zhiyuan yet?"
The boss of an entertainment company scolded his subordinates for their poor performance.
"Boss, you really can't blame us. We kept calling 24 hours a day, and the other party was almost always busy. We finally got through once, but they hung up as soon as they heard our name. We didn't even work together.
I didn’t even have a chance to say anything.”
The subordinates cried.
At the same time, the general manager of another milk group was also furious.
He wanted to ask Zhang Zhiyuan to endorse their milk and send a hint to the audience, making the audience mistakenly think that Zhang Zhiyuan grew so strong because he drank their milk.
It's a pity that they were just like the entertainment company. Smail hung up the phone before they even had time to discuss the content of their cooperation.
It's not that Smail is too arrogant, but Zhang Zhiyuan has publicly stated that everything must be considered after the finals.
Those two companies are not the only ones trying to cooperate with Zhang Zhiyuan. Many companies have launched a battle to compete for Zhang Zhiyuan.
Although there are many celebrities in the world, Zhang Zhiyuan is now very popular. And they all seem to think that Zhang Zhiyuan is just popular, so the asking price should not be too expensive, and they all want to come and get a bargain.
These calls were all blocked by Smail, but Liu Yan was clever and lied about being Zhang Zhiyuan's sister. Only then did Smail hand the phone to Zhang Zhiyuan.
"Brother Zhang..."
The moment the call was connected, Liu Yan was so nervous that he didn't know how to address Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan seemed rude, Mr. Zhang seemed too unfamiliar, and brother Zhiyuan seemed a little self-righteous...
Finally, in panic, she called Brother Zhang.
After shouting, she blushed a little and felt embarrassed. This voice seemed a bit flattering to her.
"Who are you?"
Zhang Zhiyuan was puzzled that his two cousins had his private numbers and it was impossible to call Smail's work number.
"I'm Liu Yan."
Liu Yan said.
"Oh, it's Sister Liu."
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled, feeling awkward being called brother by Liu Yan.
Liu Yan came to the United States this time with the heavy responsibility of the program team.
Enlight Media has created a variety show and wants to invite Zhang Zhiyuan to participate.
With Zhang Zhiyuan's current popularity in China, as long as he participates, the first episode of the show will be a hit.
However, with Zhang Zhiyuan's current status and worth, it is not that easy to move him. Liu Yan actually has nothing to do with him, it's just that he mentioned in the interview that his favorite actress is Liu Yan.
But that's enough, it's worth a try. If you fail, you will only lose a little money on air tickets, but if you succeed, you will make a huge profit.
Knowing that it was Liu Yan and that he had arrived in Houston, Zhang Zhiyuan asked Smail to take him to his home.
"Hello, Brother Zhang."
Liu Yan said.
"No, let's call him brother, after all, you are bigger."
Zhang Zhiyuan's words don't sound wrong, but the key is that the place where he aimed is not right. If you think about what he said again, people will easily suspect that it is a pun.
"Brother, you are really thrifty."
After entering the house, Liu Yan sighed.
There are rumors in the outside world that Zhang Zhiyuan's family assets are hundreds of millions, and his personal annual income is about to exceed 100 million.
The place where Zhang Zhiyuan lives now is just an ordinary apartment of 100 square meters, which is completely unworthy of his status.
“The main reason is that I don’t plan to live here permanently, so I’m too lazy to buy real estate.”
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
"Oh, isn't Houston good? Which team are you going to go to next season?"
Liu Yan asked.
"It depends on which team is more sincere. If Houston builds a sculpture for me now, it's not impossible to stay with the Rockets."
Zhang Zhiyuan is now in a complete seller's market, and he can choose at will. Even if he says he wants to go to the Spurs, Spurs fans will immediately line the streets to welcome him, and nightclubs will be open to him free of charge.
...
"You don't know if you don't take the test?"
Zhang Zhiyuan has never heard of this show. Obviously, this show must not be popular.
After listening to Liu Yan's introduction, he was even more sure that the show would not be popular.
The content of this program is that an adult walks into a primary school classroom and completes a question-answering game with students.
To be honest, Zhang Zhiyuan would rather watch Balala Little Demon Fairy than watch this kind of variety show.
Before Liu Yan finished speaking, he noticed Zhang Zhiyuan's disinterest and became slightly nervous.
This invitation is very important to her. If she succeeds, she will become the number one sister in Taiwan. If she fails, it will prove that she does not have much weight in Zhang Zhiyuan's heart, and Taiwan will no longer devote resources to favor her.
The leader in the station even hinted to her that she could use a honey trap if necessary. A young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, full of blood, would definitely be able to resist more than one temptation.
Do you want to help her?
Zhang Zhiyuan fell into thinking. He would definitely go back to China during the off-season, and it didn't matter if he spent two days on variety shows.
However, giving benefits to others for no reason is not his usual style.
After thinking about it, he took aim at Liu Yan's breasts.
Moreover, he didn't know what face was, so he not only took aim, but kept looking at it.
Liu Yan was embarrassed by the look in his eyes, and complained: "Why do you keep staring at others?"
"Oh, this is what the doctor told me, saying that staring at my vagina will help my body recover."
Zhang Zhiyuan came as soon as he opened his mouth.
Liu Yan had an expression of 'You're a liar', and Zhang Zhiyuan explained seriously: "It's true. The doctor said that a happy mood can make the body secrete more positive hormones, speed up the division and replacement of cells, and help the body repair.
Appreciating beautiful things can make me feel happy. Therefore, my gaze is not lustful, but very pure."
In the end, Zhang Zhiyuan almost convinced himself and stared at it more unscrupulously, so pure.
"...."
Liu Yan.
"About the show?"
Liu Yan stood firm* and gave up.
Just watch her, she won't be offended by being looked at a few times. Besides, this isn't the first time she's been looked at like this.
Others didn't bring any benefit to her after reading it, it was all in vain. Show it to Zhang Zhiyuan, maybe she can gain something from it.
"This show is boring. I definitely won't go there, but I have a better idea for a show."
Zhang Zhiyuan does not object to participating in variety shows, but he will not participate in those boring, stupid, and low-level variety shows to avoid leaving a dark history.
"ha?"
The first half of the sentence made Liu Yan's mood hit rock bottom, but the second half made her regain her hope. As long as Zhang Zhiyuan is willing to appear on the show, everything will be easy.
"How do you want to change it?"
Liu Yan asked.
"It's not a change, it's a brand new show, let's call it Ace vs. Ace..."
Zhang Zhiyuan is not a professional program planner, but he remembers the general flow of the program, and has even seen other people's analysis of the reasons for the popularity of this variety show.
When he explained the game links and the key points, Liu Yan immediately understood.
Then she was surprised to find that this program was really good, countless times better than those who didn't know anything without taking a test.
"You can also plan programs, which is really amazing."
Liu Yan praised.
"What's the matter? I'm better at other things."
Zhang Zhiyuan meant that he sang, wrote songs, and wrote scripts, but Liu Yan obviously didn't think so. She thought wrongly.
"Changing the program is a big deal, I have to discuss it with the station."
Liu Yan said.
"What are we discussing? Just inform them directly. Tell them that unless they get my show, everything will be done in person. My
Time is precious, and we don’t have time to talk nonsense with them.”
Zhang Zhiyuan's words were very domineering, but there was nothing wrong with them. Originally, the other party was begging for his cooperation, and his time was indeed valuable.
"..."
Liu Yan.
Liu Yan then went out to report the situation to the station. To her surprise, the leader of the station agreed to such a big thing as planning a new show without saying a word.
At this moment, Liu Yan truly felt Zhang Zhiyuan's energy and value.
Later, she felt Zhang Zhiyuan's busyness.
Even with Smile's help in filtering, Zhang Zhiyuan would get a call every ten minutes.
Zhang Zhiyuan did not answer some calls, but did answer some calls.
"Zhang, how about coming to TNT to guest commentate in the finals?"
Buckley.
"This is not good."
Zhang Zhiyuan.
"There's nothing wrong with it. When the time comes, your identity will be that of the commentator, and you don't need to take into account your identity as a player."
Buckley said.
"That's not what I meant. What I meant was that if my explanation was too good, your station would fire you. That would not be good."
Zhang Zhiyuan got the answer.
The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly went silent. Barkley was probably so shocked that he was speechless.
After a long time, Buckley said: "Madefak, you can come, but if I lose to you in this aspect of commentary, I will kill myself with a gun."
"Don't be impulsive."
Zhang Zhiyuan.
"**********"
In the roar, Zhang Zhiyuan felt Buckley's anger.
Obviously, Barkley couldn't accept this humiliation.
Finally, Zhang Zhiyuan agreed to narrate a game to get over the addiction of narration.
Time passed very quickly, and June 5th came in a blink of an eye.
The first game of the finals officially begins.
Because the Rockets have a better record than the Cavaliers in the regular season, the Rockets have home court advantage and will play two home games first.
However, this home court advantage cannot make up for the Rockets' lineup gap.
Before the game, experts unanimously determined that the Cavaliers would win the championship.
"Welcome our new guest, our hero, Zhang..."
Smith shouted during the TNT live broadcast.
Then Zhang Zhiyuan appeared and came to the commentator's seat, but did not sit down immediately.
"Kenny, I need to switch places with you."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
"Why?"
Smith asked doubtfully.
"Because I want to get some good luck and sit next to Charles, I am afraid of being infected with the 'no coronavirus'."
As soon as these words came out, the fans in front of the TV all laughed.
They think TNT's idea of inviting Zhang Zhiyuan to make a guest appearance is really great. Fans originally wanted to see what Zhang Zhiyuan looks like outside the stadium.
Now they see it, it simply lives up to expectations and makes the fans laugh with just the first sentence.
Buckley's bombarded expression was so funny.
"Okay, let's set a rule before the show starts. Today we can't discuss the word championship."
Buckley said.
"But this is the finals, and we are competing for the championship."
Zhang Zhiyuan reminded.
"..."
Buckley.
"Okay, okay, let's talk about something else. Stop bullying Charles. He is already pitiful enough."
Smith laughed.
Afterwards, Smith chatted: "Zhang, how does it feel to sit in the commentary box?"
"This is my first time doing commentary and I'm a little nervous. The last time I was so nervous was when I was doing commentary for the first time."
Zhang Zhiyuan said some nonsense.
The audience who reacted slowly almost fainted.
"Which team do you think will win the championship, the Cavaliers or the Rockets?"
Barkley smiled and dug a hole for Zhang Zhiyuan. If Zhang Zhiyuan said it was the Cavaliers, Rockets fans would definitely be unhappy. But if Zhang Zhiyuan said it was the Rockets, Barkley could immediately ask for a bet.
The audience felt that if Barkley asked nonsense, Zhang Zhiyuan would definitely say Rockets.
However, Zhang Zhiyuan's thoughts are obviously not so easy to guess.
Zhang Zhiyuan said: "The Cavaliers have a higher probability of winning the championship, but they may not be able to beat the Rockets."
Before coming here, Zhang Zhiyuan had thought about how to make the explanation interesting. In the end, he chose to be a nonsense guy. No matter what the question was, he would answer it in a way that he didn't answer it.
As soon as Zhang Zhiyuan finished speaking, some viewers had not yet recovered.
On the other hand, some clever viewers called the good guy directly: "Zhang has mastered the essence of explanation."
No matter what the outcome is, he will never be wrong.
"I think the Cavaliers will definitely win."
Barkley also wanted to inspire his generals.
Zhang Zhiyuan replied: "Your predictions make sense, but you often make mistakes."
On the court, the game has begun.
James hit the basket and took the lead in scoring 2 points for the team.
"Oh, I bought it, it's too strong. Zhang, do you think the Rockets can guard James?"
Smith asked.
"Of course, the Rockets can guard James, but James can also score high points."
If James scores low, it means the Rockets are defensive, and Zhang Zhiyuan's prediction is right. If James scores high, he also predicted it.
He asked: "What do you mean, James got high scores, does that still count as defense?"
"It depends on how you define the concept of defense, whether it is preventing the star from scoring high points, or preventing the connection between the star and his teammates. James scored high points, but did not lead his teammates. This is
Any questions?"
Zhang Zhiyuan asked rhetorically.
Buckley was stunned when he heard this.
It sounded like there was nothing wrong with this, but he always felt that something was wrong.
