At 8 o'clock in the evening, Li Zhe took the extended Mercedes-Benz of Old Bass and drove all the way to Beverly.

After a simple greeting, Old Bass handed over a glass of wine, and Li Zhe reached out to take it.

"Why didn't you bring two girlfriends? To be honest, I don't mind. I was even more crazy than you when I was young." Old Bass raised his glass and smiled.

Li Zhe also raised his glass with a smile. This was true. Old Bass had hundreds of lovers in his life, and had a total of two marriages. He never stopped taking his sister after he was old. In 2007, he was stopped by the police on the road and there was a young girl in the car.

"Ha, I suddenly remembered the past." Old Bass sighed. "Thirteen years ago, I brought rookie Kobe to parties everywhere. Now he has supported the Lakers. I hope you can be as good as him in the future."

Li Zhe patted his chest lightly, "I will work hard."

"Very good. By the way, we can't confirm that we can get you until the transaction is completed, so the time is too hasty, and the preparations for the press conference are a bit insufficient. Are you satisfied with the subsequent preparations?"

"I understand, I'm very honored to be such a grand welcome."

"Do you know what I like about you?" asked Old Bass.

"I'm a local student in Los Angeles." Li Zhe joked.

Old Bass put away his wine glass and smiled and said, "In addition to your personal strength and the market potential behind you, I also appreciate that you are not restricted by worldly perspectives, and you also have tenacious qualities. These two points are valuable."

"Thank you for your compliment."

"Today, I will take you to meet some big-name Lakers fans and some of my friends. They should be helpful for signing your sneaker contract and help you gain a foothold in Los Angeles, but whether you can get recognition depends on your charm."

Li Zhe nodded when he heard this and began to think about countermeasures.

…

At 9 pm, the extended Mercedes-Benz was parked outside the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly.

The two got out of the car and walked. As soon as they entered the hotel lobby, an old man with a long nose and yellow hair in a red suit came up.

"well, is this the Lakers' future player?"

"Haha, let me introduce it. This is my old friend, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, and this is our Lakers' future star Jamie Lee." Old Bass smiled.

"Hello, I heard you eat three Viagra every day now?" Li Zhe asked with a smile.

"OH young man, you shouldn't make fun of an old man." Hefner frowned but then smiled, and then stretched out his hands. "Brother was much better than you when he was young. You kept a relationship with two women at the same time, and I was seven!"

Li Zhe deliberately curled his lips, raised his thumbs up with both hands, Hefner laughed loudly, and the two shook hands to greet each other.

"Let's go." Hefner waved and turned his head to look at Old Bass. "Jamie is very good and worth training."

"The young man I like." Old Bass raised his head and raised his chest.

The three of them went straight to the venue, the staff opened the door, and the gentle BGM came out.

Looking around, there are about a hundred people, either handsome men and beautiful women or rich men.

Hefner said goodbye and left, and Old Bass signaled Li Zhe to follow, and the two walked to a bald man with a big belly and stopped.

"Hi, Jack," shouted Old Bass.

The man turned his head when he heard this, recognized that it was Old Bass and immediately hugged him, then turned his head to look at Li Zhe.

"You're Jamie Lee? I heard you and Spielberg co-written a script?"

"Hmm." Li Zhe nodded.

"Young people should focus on their main careers, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve success." Nicholson frowned.

"It's just a hobby, just like you like watching football. But I think you should coach a team, and your coaching level should be ranked among the top five in the league." Li Zhe smiled. He remembered that Nicholson expressed disappointment after the Lakers were swept by the Spurs, and had the idea of ​​buying the Lakers, and publicly claimed that he coached at the second level in the league...

"Oh? Do you really think so? I always feel that my coaching level is higher than many coaches, and of course Phil is not among them. I am obsessed with triangular tactics, especially this regular season Kobe's winning goal. Gasol first cut the basket and created a threat. Fisher moved to the center line and took away the defender, while Walton ran to the bottom corner." Nicholson's tone was extremely excited and spitted.

Li Zhe shrugged and spread his hands, "Don't be funny, that's just a back-run without the ball, what kind of triangular attack is going to be."

"Wow!" Nicholson pushed his glasses and smiled strangely. "It seems you really understand. Didn't you flatter me just now?"

Old Bass laughed, and Li Zhe spread his hands, "Of course, you are a legendary coach who was delayed by acting."

"You have vision, but I still prefer acting." Nicholson smiled and raised his glass.

Li Zhe nodded and turned around and left with Old Bass.

When he walked away, Old Bass asked in a low voice: "You just said it seriously?"

"I made up..."

The two of them traveled through the crowd and soon came to a black man.

Li Zhe recognized Denzel Washington, an Oscar winner who cried when he saw "Black Panther". As a hardcore Lakers fan, he didn't give Kobe much face, so he is considered an outlier.

"Hi, let me introduce you to our future star Jamie Lee!" said Old Bass.

"Hello." Denzel greeted politely, his tone was plain.

"Hello, I really like the movie "When Happiness Comes Knocks" starring you." Li Zhe deliberately said it as a movie starring Will Smith.

Old Bass smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and Denzel turned his head slightly, as if he didn't hear it clearly.

"Just kidding, I like you a lot of movies, glorious years, Philadelphia stories, hurricanes, storms, etc., but compared to movies, I like the stage plays you starred in, and the performance of Richard III was particularly exciting."

"Have you read my college work? You weren't born yet?" Denzel looked disbelieving.

"Of course, I am also a stage play enthusiast. There is news that your next stage play is "Fence"?" Li Zhe quickly changed the topic. He had only read the introduction and would definitely not answer the details when asked about it.

"Wow? You know this, too, what Spielberg said?" Denzel asked.

"Many people are rumoring..." Li Zhe shrugged.

"yeah, I do have a performance. I like drama very much. It is a different form of performance that can directly interact with the audience. That is not an experience that movies can bring..." Denzel's conversation completely opened.

Seeing this, Old Bass quietly gave Li Zhe a thumbs up.

After half an hour, Li Zhe finally ended his discussion with Denzel.

The two left their business cards, Li Zhe asked to watch the pills, and Denzel asked to watch the drama.

Following Old Bass, Li Zhe walked to a handsome middle-aged man surrounded by many young models and stopped, and recognized Leonardo at a glance.

Without waiting for Old Bass to introduce him, Leonardo asked: "Are you the future on the poster?"

"Yes, I am the future." Li Zhe smiled.

"Then how much do you know about the future?"

"Not much, but I know you have to wait seven or eight years for the Oscars."

Everyone frowned when they heard this, how could they joke about such things? Leonardo did not have an Oscar, which is a pity for many people!

"Then you have to prove it, or I'd think you're lying?" Leonardo said.

"How to prove it?"

Leonardo pointed at the other side casually, "Since you have the ability to predict the future, you should be able to beat me?"

Li Zhe followed the gesture and found a table of people playing Texas Hold'em. Leonardo was indeed gambled.

Of course it’s okay to play, but I didn’t bring my credit card to go out. How to solve the problem of chips?
