Chapter 404 The unexpected franchiseeYellow Chocolate
After Lillard asked, Wang Zelin suddenly remembered a word Lillard just said, and a glimmer of inspiration flashed in his mind.
"Damien, what was that sentence you just said in the car just now?"
Wang Zelin asked eagerly.
"In the car?"
"Did I say anything?"
Lillard pointed at himself and then looked at Yi Jianlian and Wang Zelin.
Yi Jianlian took a sip of the cold drink in front of him and recalled: "He just said Bruce Lee first..."
"Yeah, Bruce Lee, Ah Da! Ah Da..."
Yi Jianlian was speaking in Mandarin. Lillard naturally didn't understand most of the previous words, but the last three words made him suddenly excited.
Now in the restaurant, with his feet finally on the ground and safe, Lillard finally found the opportunity to strike a classic pose from Bruce Lee's movie!
"This is it!"
Wang Zelin suddenly found the inspiration that had flashed before and cried out with joy.
"that?"
"what?"
Yi Jianlian and Lillard looked at each other, both of them confused.
Later, Wang Zelin and the other two expressed their ideas: design a nunchuck dance!
In this way, all the necessary elements for Chinese Kung Fu dance are gathered together.
"Can it be done?"
"Nunchaku dance?"
The two looked at Wang Zelin and asked questions again.
"Hey, why didn't you start?"
Wang Zelin laughed, then picked up the phone and dialed a number.
The time difference between China and the United States is about 12 hours. If we call there now, it will be daytime on the other side.
It's my first unsolicited call. That guy shouldn't not answer it, right?
Yi Jianlian and Lillard still looked at Wang Zelin with confusion, wondering who he was calling.
A few seconds later, a voice that sounded awkward and somewhat unclear came from the other end of the phone:
"Hey, it's Zelin, what do you want from me?"
"..."
Damn it, brother, this seems to be the first time we are talking to each other. Is it necessary to be so awkward?
"Mr. Huang Chocolate, do you have any free time in the near future? I have a cooperation..."
"..."
This time, it was Jay Chou's turn on the other side of the phone to feel a little speechless.
Yellow chocolate?
What the hell!
…
"Uh, is it Jay Chou?"
After being stunned for a long time, Yi Jianlian finally realized that the voice coming from the other side looked very much like Jay Chou!
No, it should be said that this is Jay Chou's voice.
I remember that during last year’s Christmas game with the Spurs, Wang Zelin and he invited several Chinese entertainment stars who were there to watch the game to have a private party together.
At that time, the two of them had a pleasant chat with Jay Chou, and the two parties exchanged contact information.
Of course, since we were not in the same circle, we basically had no contact with each other since then.
Yi Jianlian did not expect that Wang Zelin would take the initiative to call Jay Chou today.
"Logically speaking, if he really had to make a phone call, wouldn't Zelin should have called a few girls in Wanwan?"
While Yi Jianlian was paying attention to Wang Zelin's phone call, his mind suddenly flew to the night after the Christmas war.
After all, they are the only two Chinese people to play in the NBA league. The Christmas game at that time was a star-studded event, attracting people from all walks of life to come and watch the game.
Among them, there were quite a few Chinese entertainment stars who came to watch the game. Yi Jianlian alone could name more than ten of them, and there were many others who couldn't.
Anyway, at the private party that night, there were not a hundred people present, but maybe sixty or seventy.
What he didn't even expect was that a higher proportion of the people who came were female celebrities.
Are you interested in coming?
Or are there really so many female stars in China who like the NBA and basketball?
Obviously, Yi Jianlian believes more in the former.
Ahem, in fact, there were many female celebrities who wanted to exchange contact information with Yi Jianlian that night, and some even expressed their willingness to communicate in depth, but he rejected them one by one.
As for a certain guy, what Yi Jianlian saw could only be described in four words:
No one will be refused!
After the party, he also saw Wang Zelin going out with two female celebrities from Taiwan Province. He could imagine what would happen next with his buttocks.
Breaking through the sky is nothing more than a loss-making business worth hundreds of millions.
…
Ten minutes passed and Wang Zelin finally ended the call.
Yi Jianlian asked: "Zelin, how did the discussion go?"
He heard a few words, but they were still far from the general meaning.
"What were you talking about with the guy on the phone?"
Lillard was different. Wang Zelin and Jay Chou used Mandarin to communicate throughout the whole process, and he didn't understand a word.
"Let's talk! On the All-Star day, Jay Chou will sing and accompany us live. Maybe we can also participate in the rehearsal of the show."
At this time, the food was almost ready. While eating the food, Wang Zelin told the two people the result.
"But this is already Lao Mi's territory. Will the top leaders of the alliance agree?"
What Yi Jianlian said is not unreasonable.
In Asia, Jay Chou is certainly the well-deserved emperor of pop music, but in the world, the popularity of Chinese is not as mainstream as English. Both the popularity and the audience are inevitably not as wide as in Asia.
"Don't worry, what Jay Chou is going to sing this time is one of his classic songs "Nunchaku". This song was also used in the ending theme of the movie "Qingfengxia" in 2011. Compared with some other Chinese-language songs, The popular song "Nunchaku" is now well-known throughout the United States. As long as Xiao Hua is not stupid, he will definitely agree."
"The most important thing is that this song fits the theme of our performance very well - Chinese kung fu and dance!"
After hearing Wang Zelin's affirmation, Yi Jianlian also put aside his doubts. Besides, he himself was not selected for the All-Star Game, so why should he worry so blindly?
However, as for the choreography of the song of the same name in "Nunchaku" mentioned by Wang Zelin a week later, plus Jay Chou's live performance...
Yi Jianlian couldn't help but secretly look forward to it.
Once such an explosive combination comes out, he doesn't know about other areas, at least on the other side of the ocean, it will definitely trigger an unparalleled storm.
As for Lillard, who was caught between the two and was confused for most of the day, the way to deal with him was simpler and more crude.
Wang Zelin put away his phone, found the song "Nunchaku", and then played it...
If Lillard hadn't understood Mandarin, he would have sang "Conquer"!
Although the languages used in daily life on both sides are completely different, the charm of music is indeed real and can transcend national boundaries.
The soul of a song lies in the quality of the music.
After just listening to the complete song once, Lillard had a preliminary understanding of the "Jay Chou" mentioned by Wang Zelin and Yi Jianlian and the musical talent of this Asian king.
If nothing else goes wrong, Yellow Chocolate, ah no, Jay Chou will be the last participant in Wang Zelin's all-star performance plan in a week's time.
