Chapter 174 [greedy mermaid, strong in the west and weak in the east]

On February 1, Guo Xu, O'Neal and Megan Fox shot a potato chip advertisement in the Venice River in Los Angeles. The river water here is clear and the scenery on both sides is also beautiful.

The weather in Los Angeles can be said to be pleasant all year round. The weather in summer is mild, the rainfall is not much, the winter is not very cold, and the rainfall is high. Plants can grow all year round, so some annual plants become perennial plants when they arrive in Los Angeles.

In February, the average daytime temperature in Los Angeles is between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius and between 8 and 15 degrees Celsius at night. This afternoon, the sun is bright and the temperature is above 20 degrees. There is no problem for three people to go into the water and they will not catch a cold.

The plot of the advertisement is very simple. Guo Xu and O'Neal are sitting on a small boat fishing. Guo Xu is holding a fishing rod and O'Neal is holding a large bucket of Leishi potato chips. The product logo is particularly conspicuous.

Guo Xu complained: "We have been fishing for several hours and there is not a single fish."

O'Neal ate potato chips, squinted his eyes and said slowly: "It's normal for someone to catch it, but someone to catch it."

Guo Xu reached out and asked, "Can you give me some food?"

"Of course." O'Neal handed over the potato chips.

Guo Xu only ate one slice and showed a surprise expression. He was inspired and quickly sprinkled some potato chips in the water.

Then Megan's mermaid appeared from the water, and the two on the boat were startled and said "wow" together.

Megan held the edge of the boat with one hand and stuffed potato chips into her mouth with the other, licking her lips, showing a very seductive expression. This is what she is best at. The director of the commercial film wants to cheer when he looks at the camera, and his acting skills are very explosive.

The camera switch gave Guo Xu a big close-up, revealing a fascinated expression.

"Crack, very good!" The director stopped and the filming was over.

It would be beautiful if the plot ends here, but they had already filmed some materials in the house before. When the advertisement was edited, the next scene was Guo Xu and O'Neal back home. The mermaid played by Meghan was hung on the wall, and she was smiling. The two of them were eating potato chips and looking at the wall, and O'Neal said, "Good fishing."

This kind of a plot of magical twist will definitely make the audience remember it, but Meghan was unhappy and felt that she had been cheated by Guo Xu, and her image was completely destroyed. Will she focus on the comedy route in the entertainment industry in the future?

The style of painting is even more incorrect. This one will not be broadcast on TV. It can be used as a promotion online when filming it.

The plot is about Guo Xu and Meghan going out to fish in the sea. Guo Xu took the fishing rod and replaced it with Meghan eating potato chips. The dialogue is the same as the original version.

The difference is that when Guo Xu tasted potato chips and poured them into the water, O'Neal came up in the water. After shooting here, he had to go back and add a 50-cent special effect, which turned into a sea monster version of O'Neal with octopus tentacles on the lower body.

While eating potato chips, O'Neal showed a very obscene smile, and then dragged Guo Xu, who had nowhere to hide and had a horrified expression, down the water.

The rest is also the material taken in the house. The next shot after editing is Guo Xu being hung on the wall. The sea monster O'Neal is in a place similar to Dragon Palace City in the sea, carrying a crown, and a fishman guard next to him said, "Good fishing."

After filming this version, Meghan felt a little more balanced. Everyone took turns to hang it on the wall. Come on, hurt each other!

In the evening, O'Neal treated me to a new girlfriend and had a dinner with four people to celebrate the happy cooperation in advertising.

Guo Xu was not in a very happy mood, because the complete lineup list of the NBA All-Star Game has been announced.

He finally ranked third in the Western Conference defender popularity selection, but failed to enter after Kobe and Kidd. Unfortunately, he was not among the seven substitutes selected by the coaches, so he had to participate in the rookie challenge and the three-point competition.

Five Western players: Kidd (Suns), Kobe (Lakes), Garnett (Timberwolves), Duncan (Spurs), O'Neal (Lakes).

Seven substitutes: Michael Finley (Mavericks), Antonio McDace (Nuggets), Chris Webb (Kings), Rashid Wallace (Trail Blazers), Carl Malone (Jazz), Gary Payton (Super Sonics), David Robinson (Spurs).

The Western Conference lineup is too unreasonable. There are only four people in the swingman and point guards. The rest are all inside, and both point guards are big men over 190cm tall.

It is said that it would be better to play with a point guard like Guo Xu in the West, but the coaches don’t care about this, they look down on newcomers, and it has nothing to do with popularity.

There are only a handful of stars who can be selected as All-Stars in the rookie season, and Guo Xu only remembers two. The first one is Yao Ming. Chinese fans especially want to see him, so they can make a shot directly, and O'Neal has to be substituted. The other one is Blake Griffin, the target of the league, and the rookie season has impressed fans.

Neither LeBron James nor Cameron Anthony were selected as the All-Star in his rookie season, especially after Anthony joined the Nuggets, he immediately became the boss and led the team to the playoffs, with an average of 21+6 per game and no one was interested in it. Later, until 2007, Anthony averaged 29 points, 6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, and was just a substitute.

Although Guo Xu is outstanding among rookies, it is difficult to score 20+ points this season. Unless the OK group takes the initiative to give up the ball, the two of them now think that they don’t take enough shots, so how can they give up again?

In addition, the competition for the Western Conference All-Star quota will become increasingly fierce. With Yao Ming joining the NBA, Francis' popularity will increase significantly as long as he goes to the Rockets.

Nash has also begun to rise in the Mavericks. If Guo Xu wants to enter the Star Game next season, in addition to the team's good record, he must have enough beautiful data to stand out among a group of people.

The Eastern Army's lineup is obviously weaker than the Western Conference, and it is almost impossible to get 12 stars.

Five: Iverson, Ratliff (76ers), Vince Carter (Radolph), McGrady (Magic), Anthony Mason Jr. (Heat)

Seven substitutes: Marbury (Nets), Ray Allen, Glen Robinson (Bucks), Starkhouse (Pistons), Spreville, Alan Houston (Knicks), Antonio Davis (Raptors).

Many of the 12-man rosters have good records outside the playoffs, and there are also highly popular players who are absent due to injuries. Mourning and Grant Hill have been thrown into the game by fans and have hardly played this season.

Antonio Davis unexpectedly rose after joining the Raptors and scored his career peak data. Even if he is a relatively reliable inside player in the Eastern Conference.

After comparison, Guo Xu found that although the Western Conference lineup was unreasonable, the Eastern Conference could not win at all. It was a big problem for them to defend O'Neal. Moreover, the Western Conference also has Garnett, Duncan, Webber, Rashid Wallace, and the strongest power forwards in the NBA are all concentrated in the West. Nowitzki is not selected and his popularity cannot be included in the top ten.

The pattern of "strong in the west and weak in the east" has begun and will continue for nearly 20 years.

If you go to the East, Guo Xu may become an All-Star, and there is no chance in the West for the time being.

To put it bluntly, he is still not famous enough. The NBA president is unwilling to spend a lot of effort to praise him. Chinese media also have little interest in him. Usually, they are just routine interviews and will not make a big splash. If Chinese fans were willing to vote, he would have made a long time, how could he lose popularity to Kidd, who has the eighth record in the West?
