"Old K, I still have a few days, please help me prepare the tickets, I will go to your game." Cheng Long said at the side.
"Okay, come here." Lao Wang said.
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Long said: "Lao K has registered for marriage some time ago, but the wedding has not yet been held. He will definitely have to make up for it when he returns to the capital, and the time will need to be arranged then."
"That's for sure." Zhou Wenhuai and Long Wu both nodded.
Cheng Long added: "Also, his wife has been pregnant for several months. We are all men. It is not convenient for socializing this time. How about we find some female celebrities to come over and be our female companions?"
"Aunt Thirteen please come over? Last time at his house, I heard Feihong say that she seemed to know Guan Zhilin when she was filming in Xiangcheng." Li Lianjie said.
Cheng Long said doubtfully: "It's not Guan Zhilin, it seems to be Liu Jialing, but I kind of forgot about it."
"Please come, everyone."
Long Wu nodded. Guan Zhilin is the heroine of Adventure King, so it is appropriate to invite her over to socialize. Since Liu Jialing knows Yu Feihong, it will be more convenient.
He knew that both Cheng Long and Li Lianjie had shares in Feige Company, and that Old K’s main focus was on basketball. K’s martial arts school’s contacts in Hollywood were actually of no use to Old K. Yu Feihong had his own film and television company, and his main focus was on basketball.
She is taking care of these connections, so her connections are very important. He plans to call his wife Chen Lan over to socialize.
"Ajie, why don't you invite Lizhi over?" Cheng Long teased.
Li Lianjie scratched his head in embarrassment, but did not refuse and said, "That's okay. I'll call her and ask her if she has time."
Cheng Long suddenly said: "Why don't we invite a few more people? Let's find a few more people to come and cheer him up. The scene will be too small and it won't look good."
"Aaron, what do you mean?" Zhou Wenhuai asked.
Cheng Long said: "I heard him say last time that his favorite female singer is Ah Xian. He is a fan of hers. Why don't we see if she is free?"
"Okay, I'll contact her." Zhou Wenhuai nodded.
This is a good suggestion. Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are at best friends of Old K. It would definitely be better if they could invite Ah Xian, whom Old K likes. This is called following one's preferences.
The only bad thing is that A-Xian has already passed her time, so she found a has-been singer to cheer her up, which is a bit disrespectful to Lao K.
"And Wang Xian, she used to be a basketball player and has something in common with Lao K. How about inviting her over?" Cheng Long asked again.
"I'll do this." Long Wu said immediately.
In Xiangcheng, when she received a call from her agent, saying that Jiahe's boss Zhou Wenhuai invited her to go to the United States, A-Xian was a little confused.
"What to do?"
She was a singer and Jiahe was a film company. She didn't understand why Boss Zhou asked her to go to the United States.
"I'm going to visit a guy who plays basketball in the United States. Because the host has a daughter-in-law, I need to hire some female celebrities to be my companions. Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are waiting in Los Angeles right now, as well as Mr. Long Wu.
.I don’t know about the other things, the people from Jiahe Company didn’t say anything. If you agree, you will leave immediately,” the agent explained.
"Why do they want to visit a basketball player?" Ah Xian was puzzled.
"A-Xian, I think it's better to go." The agent advised.
"Then we have no choice but to go." A-Xian sighed.
In 1989, she finally saved up one million Hong Kong dollars, and then she quit the music scene according to her own wish and went to study in the United States for several years. After a few years, all the money she saved had been spent. She just made a comeback last year, but she is no longer there.
Her former popularity and diva status are no longer there, and PolyGram no longer pays attention to her. To put it simply, she has passed away.
With her current status in the Xiangcheng entertainment circle, it is obvious that she cannot hold up Jiahe, let alone Jiahe's boss Zhou speaking.
I immediately replied to Jiahe, and then according to the agreement there, I immediately prepared my luggage and went to the airport.
When I arrived at the airport, I saw that she was not the only one, including Carina Lau, Lizhi, Guan Zhilin, Wang Xian, and the leader was Mr. Long Wu's wife Chen Lan.
"Mrs. Chen..." she greeted quickly.
"This visit to the K-Martial Arts Gym owner is also an opportunity for you. He is very influential in Hollywood and also in the Mainland, so you should be more polite when socializing." Chen Lan warned after greeting him.
"Martial arts gym? Isn't it for basketball?" Ah Xian said in surprise.
Chen Lan explained: "He also plays basketball. His main job is to play basketball, and the K-Martial Arts Gym is one of his businesses. It is considered a side business. It is very large. I heard that the income is hundreds of millions of dollars a year."
Mr. Long Wu said that there are between 1,000 and 2,000 members, all of whom are wealthy people from the upper class of the United States, and are very influential.
This time, Li Lianjie used the party organized by the martial arts school for him, and Adventure King sold two million dollars, all thanks to the opportunities created by Lao K."
The girls were surprised and started talking among themselves.
"By the way, A-Xian, I'm still a fan of yours, so I specially invite you to come over and socialize this time." Chen Lan said again.
"Me?"
A-Xian couldn't help but worry. Rich men are all lustful, so they can't be perverts, right? I'm already old, so I hope nothing bad will happen to me.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the group took a passenger plane to Vancouver, Canada, which is the fastest flight to North America, and then transferred to Los Angeles.
By the time they arrived in Los Angeles, it was 11 a.m. local time on the 24th. After flying across the Pacific Ocean and North America, they were exhausted.
It was not possible to rest at this time. After meeting up with Long Wu and the others, they had lunch and flew to Phoenix again.
This one is quite close, the two places are only 600 kilometers apart, and it took less than an hour to fly there. We arrived in Phoenix at around two o'clock in the afternoon.
Lao Wang took several brothers from the martial arts school to pick him up at the airport, and they met for a while and exchanged pleasantries.
"Old K, this is my wife Chen Lan." Long Wu introduced.
Lao Wang shook hands with Chen Lan and exchanged a few words with each other.
In words, Chen Lan still seemed very energetic. Long Wu was usually very silent and didn't talk much. This woman just matched Long Wu's character.
"Hello, Lao K, I am your fan." When shaking hands with Wang Xian, this girl was very excited and stared at Lao Wang non-stop.
"Hello, I've seen your movie, it's the female ghost, and there's a grandma." Lao Wang said with a smile.
"A Chinese Ghost Story." Wang Xian smiled.
Cheng Long smiled and said: "Old K, she used to play basketball."
"Really?" Lao Wang was a little surprised.
"Old K, we are half fellow villagers." When it was Liu Jialing's turn, she was particularly enthusiastic.
"How to say?"
Lao Wang was confused. A Xiangcheng man was half a fellow countryman like him?
"I've known Yu Feihong since 1993, and we've got along pretty well. I'm from Suzhou, she's from Hangzhou, and you're my son-in-law from Hangzhou. We're so close, so we're not half-fellows, right?"
Liu Jialing smiled.
"Oh, then, he is indeed half a fellow countryman." Only then did Lao Wang understand.
"I never thought I could see the real Thirteenth Aunt."
When shaking hands with Guan Zhilin, he joked: "Actually, it has always been a pity that Aunt Thirteen and Huang Feihong did not become a couple in the movie."
Li Lianjie smiled helplessly: "Old K, that's a movie."
Guan Zhilin's big eyes flickered, he looked at Lao Wang curiously, and said with a smile: "Old K, please take care of me in the future."
"Easy to say." Lao Wang said politely.
"Old K, this is Lizhi, my girlfriend." Li Lianjie introduced him formally.
"Hello."
After Lao Wang shook her hand, he sighed in his heart, this woman was indeed naturally charming and a disaster, causing Brother Li to fall headlong into love and not even want his wife and daughter.
"Wow, look who is this? I actually met the Hat Queen?"
When I saw A-Xian, I was really surprised. I quickly leaned down and looked at her as if she was looking at something strange.
It's very hot in Phoenix now, and the sun is very bright. A-Xian is wearing a white hat with a pink gauze on the side. He looked at it, looking at the flowers through the fog, but he still couldn't see clearly.
"Hello, Princess Xian, I am Wang Tiejun, you can call me Lao K. I am your fan, and I like your Qian Qian Que song the most." He happily extended his hand and said very politely.
Faced with Lao Wang's huge pressure, Ah Xian felt as if she was being stared at by a giant carnivorous beast. Her scalp was numb, her legs were trembling, and her heart was trembling. Her Mandarin was not good and she was speechless. She reluctantly stretched out her hand to talk to Lao Wang.
Wang shook it.
Cheng Long laughed and said: "Old K, don't scare A-Xian."
Lao Wang laughed twice, stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the hotel first."
After sending him to the hotel and leaving several brothers and cars there, he went home first.
At almost five o'clock, Long Wu and his party came to Wang Tiejun's villa for a formal visit.
When you get home, you must not wear a hat. Ah Xian took off her hat, and Lao Wang finally saw the true face of the ever-changing queen.
I can't say she's pretty, but she's definitely not ugly. She has a mature beauty. After all, she's forty years old. Anyway, she didn't disappoint him, but she felt a little different from the Princess Xian he imagined. Maybe that's why she lost her sense of mystery.
The man wanted to smoke, so Lao Wang and others went to the reception room next to the living room, and Yu Feihong entertained several women in the living room.
He asked the workers to bring coffee and cigars, and several men began to smoke. Li Lianjie and Cheng Long, who did not smoke, also lit one.
"Old K, this year's MVP should be yours, right?" Li Lianjie asked.
"It should be close." Lao Wang was not modest and said: "This year, the announcement will be made after the first round. I think it should be me. There should be no suspense, haha!"
"Then I'd like to congratulate you in advance. You're equivalent to us winning the Oscar for Best Actor!" Cheng Long smiled enviously.
"What about the playoffs, are you sure?" Li Lianjie asked.
"It's hard to say this. The regular season is a regular season, and this year's situation is special. Some teams messed up in order to get good picks, so it was relatively easy for us. But entering the playoffs is the real deal. It's hard to say.
, Our lineup is still not very good, there is no big problem against the generally strong teams, but when facing several of the strongest teams, the weaknesses are obvious and easy to be targeted." Lao Wang shook his head.
"As for the Olympics, the men's basketball team made it to the top eight in the last World Championships. If you join this year, you should make progress, right?" Li Lianjie said with envy on his face.
He is an athlete and has won so many national martial arts championships, but unfortunately there are no martial arts competitions in the Olympics and he has no chance to stand on the Olympic stage. Therefore, he is very regretful and envious of athletes who can participate in the Olympics.
"There is hope, our lineup is not weak."
Lao Wang said with a smile: "I haven't gone back yet, and I don't know what the goal is from above, but my idea is that I should try to get a card. If I only advance one or two, it feels meaningless."
"Old K, when will K martial arts school open a branch in Xiangcheng?" Long Wu said with a smile.
"Oh, I have also considered this since I mentioned it last time. Feihong's film company plans to open a branch office in Los Angeles and also plans to open a branch office in Xiangcheng. Let's do it together then. Mr. Long, Mr. Zhou, I
I don’t have many connections there, so I’ll have to take care of you when the time comes.” Lao Wang said.
"That would be best, so that everyone can take care of each other and cooperate." Long Wu nodded and smiled.
Zhou Wenhuai also said: "When the time comes, I will organize a party and invite some friends to come and join us."
Cheng Long and Li Lianjie both nodded, and the former smiled and said: "Old K, with us here, you don't have to worry about not having connections there."
Li Lianjie suddenly asked: "By the way, Lao K, how are you doing in fighting?"
Speaking of this, Lao Wang became energetic and said quickly: "I have been practicing for half a year, and I am currently preparing to participate in a fighting event.
The K1 event that Japan started in 1993, the UFC event that was held in the United States in the same year, and several of the top events currently, are all ready to send people to participate."
On the other side of the women's side, Yu Feihong and Chen Lan were both very generous people. With them, they soon started chatting, which was more lively than the other side of the men's side.
"By the way, Feihong, are you pregnant with a boy or a girl?" Liu Jialing suddenly asked curiously.
"Boy." Yu Feihong smiled.
She herself doesn't care whether it's a boy or a girl. Although the old Wang family also expressed that they like it regardless of their grandchildren, it would be better if the first child is a boy, so there is no pressure.
Dinner was eaten at home. Although there are not many Chinese in Phoenix, there are still some, and there are also several good Chinese restaurants. He hired a chef from a Shandong cuisine restaurant, cooked two tables of authentic Shandong cuisine, and then prepared
Several jars of medicinal food.
In the evening, after seeing off the guests, he continued the plum blossom pile training as usual.
This thing has been practiced for another half a year since the last time I broke through the second realm, but it has not yet reached the third realm. It seems that if I want to advance to the fourth realm to complete the task, I don't know how long it will take to practice.
…
The 25th is the start of the playoffs.
This morning, the league announced some personal honors.
Officially announced the winners of the five data kings, Best Sixth Man, Best Coach, Most Improved Player, Best Rookie, Best Rookie Team, DPOY, etc.
The Best Sixth Man Award was won by Wilkins. This honor made him feel a little emotional. If he didn't win a championship with the Suns, he would feel like he would suffer a big loss.
The Most Improved Player is George Muresan and the Rookie of the Year is Damon Stoudemire.
For the All-Rookie Team, Michael Finley of the Suns was selected to the first team, Garnett and Rasheed Wallace were selected to the second team, and Ben was not selected.
dpoy to Gary Payton.
The best head coach is Westphal. In this season when the Suns were rebuilt, he led the team to achieve the league's first record. His performance was recognized. This is also the second time he has won this honor. In the league, he
He is also a famous coach, and many coaches are very envious of him for meeting a giant beast.
After the honor was announced, Larry Brown accepted a phone interview with the media and said with some envy: "No matter who has such a beast under his command, he will win the championship."
…
Since the morning, countless fans drove from all over Arizona to Phoenix, and then gathered outside the American West Arena. By the afternoon, there was already a sea of people outside the arena.
"Sun King! Sun King..."
"Grand champion! Grand champion..."
Shouts rang out from time to time in the sea of people, and every time they rang out, a huge wave of sound would immediately arise.
At six o'clock, Cheng Long and a group of people came outside the American West Arena. The car Lao Wang arranged for them was an 11-seater Mercedes-Benz. With the pass, they could go directly to the underground parking lot of the arena, but they could only go there.
Under the direction of the security guard, he slowly moved forward.
"Wow, there are so many people!"
Looking at the endless sea of people outside, A-Xian said in surprise.
"There must be at least tens of thousands of people in such a big square, right?" Liu Jialing said.
"Is basketball so popular in the United States? Those football games I watched in the UK were nothing more than that." Guan Zhilin said in surprise.
Li Zhi studied in college in San Francisco and is very familiar with the situation here, and said: "Basketball is okay, but if you go to watch football, it will be even crazier than this."
Cheng Long laughed and said, "That's in other cities, not in Phoenix. Basketball is the most popular here. Old K has been here for four years. He won two championships in the first three years and ranked first in the league this year, which directly made basketball popular here.
Market. Listen, they are calling the Sun King, and the Sun King is Lao K’s nickname here.”
"Sun King?"
Others were extremely surprised. How high does one have to be to get this nickname?
