Chapter 174 [Gluttonous Mermaid, Strong in the West and Weak in the East]

On February 1, Guo Xu, O'Neill, and Megan Fox filmed a potato chips commercial in the Venice River in Los Angeles, where the water 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, with mild weather and little rainfall in the summer, and not very cold in the winter, with a lot of rainfall. Plants can grow all year round, so some annual plants become perennial plants when they arrive in Los Angeles.

In February, the average temperature in Los Angeles was between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius during the day and between 8 and 15 degrees Celsius at night.

The plot of the advertisement is very simple, Guo Xu and O'Neill are sitting in a small boat fishing. Guo Xu held a fishing rod, O'Neill held a large bucket of Lay's potato chips, and the product logo was particularly conspicuous.

Guo Xu complained: "We have been fishing for hours, and we don't have a single fish. ”

O'Neill ate the potato chips, squinted his eyes and said slowly: "It's normal for some people to catch it and for others to catch it." ”

Guo Xu stretched out his hand and asked, "Can you give me something to eat?" ”

"Of course." O'Neill handed over the chips.

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

Then the mermaid played by Megan peeked out of the water, and the two on the boat were startled and let out a "wow" together.

Megan held the edge of the boat with one hand, stuffed potato chips into her mouth with the other, licked her lips, and showed a very seductive expression, which is what she is best at.

The camera switched, giving Guo Xu a big close-up, revealing a fascinated expression.

"Click, very good!" The director called a halt, and the shooting was over.

It's nice if the plot ends here, but they've already filmed some footage in the house before. At that time, the commercial was edited, and the next scene was that Guo Xu and O'Neill returned home, and the mermaid played by Megan was hung on the wall, still smiling. The two ate potato chips and looked at the wall, and O'Neill said, "Good fishing." ”

This kind of divine twist and turn of the plot will definitely make the audience unforgettable, but Megan is not happy, she feels that she has been cheated by Guo Xu, and her image is completely ruined, will she focus on comedy in the entertainment industry in the future?

The style of painting is even more crooked, it is a magic version, this will not be broadcast on TV, and it can be used as publicity on the Internet when filmed.

The plot is that Guo Xu and Megan go out to sea to fish, Guo Xu holds a fishing rod, and it is replaced by Megan eating potato chips, and the dialogue is the same as the original.

The difference is that when Guo Xu tasted potato chips and poured them into the water, it was O'Neill who came up in the water. After filming here, I have to go back and add five cents special effects, and turn it into a sea monster version of O'Neill with octopus tentacles on the lower body.

O'Neill showed a very lewd smile while eating potato chips, and then dragged Guo Xu, who had nowhere to hide and had a frightened expression, into the water.

The rest is also the footage filmed in the house, and the next shot after editing is Guo Xu being hung on the wall. O'Neill, the sea monster, was in a place similar to Ryugu Castle in the sea, with a crown, and a fish-man guard next to him said "good fishing".

After filming this version, Megan is a little more balanced in her heart, everyone takes turns to hang on the wall, come on, hurt each other!

In the evening, O'Neill had a treat, called a new girlfriend, and had a dinner party for four to celebrate the happy cooperation in advertising.

Guo Xu's mood was actually not very happy, because the full roster of the NBA All-Star Game was announced.

He finished third in the Western Conference Guard Popularity Poll, trailing behind Bryant and Kidd and failing to make the starting line-up. Unfortunately, he was not on the seven benches selected by the coaches, and he had to go to the Rookie Challenge and the Three-Point Contest.

The starting five in the West: Kidd (Suns), Kobe Bryant (Lakers), Garnett (Timberwolves), Duncan (Spurs), O'Neal (Lakers).

Sub-seven: Michael Finley (Mavericks), Antonio McDyce (Nuggets), Chris Webb (Kings), Rasheed Wallace (Trail Blazers), Karl Malone (Jazz), Gary Payton (Supersonics), David Robinson (Spurs).

The western lineup is too unreasonable, there are only four swing men and point guards, and the rest are all inside, and the two point guards are big men over 190cm tall.

It is said that it would be better to bring an extra point guard like Guo Xu in the west, but the coaches don't care about this, they don't 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 their rookie season, and Guo Xu remembers only two. The first is Yao Ming, Chinese fans especially want to see him, so he pitched directly as a starter, and O'Neill had to be a substitute. The other is Blake Griffin, the object of the league's admiration, and the various violent dunks in his rookie season have impressed fans.

LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony failed to be selected as All-Stars in their rookie seasons, especially after Anthony joined the Nuggets and immediately became the boss, leading the team to the playoffs, averaging 21+6 per game and no one cared. Later, it wasn't until 2007 that Anthony averaged 29 points, 6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game before he was selected for the All-Star Game for the first time, and he was only a bench.

Although Guo Xu is outstanding among the rookies, it is difficult to score 20+ points this season, unless the OK combination takes the initiative to give up the ball, then both of them now think that they don't shoot enough, how can they let it go again?

In addition, the competition for the All-Star spot in the West will become more and more fierce, and with Yao Ming joining the NBA, as long as he goes to the Rockets, Francis's popularity will increase significantly.

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

The lineup of the eastern troops is obviously weaker than that of the west, and they are almost unable to make up 12 stars.

Starting five: Iverson, Ratliff (76ers), Vince Carter (Raptors), Maddy (Magic), Anthony Mason Jr. (Heat)

Seven benches: Marbury (Nets), Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson (Bucks), Stackhouse (Pistons), Sprewell, Alan Houston (Knicks), Antonio Davis (Raptors).

Many of the 12-man rosters with good stats have a record outside the playoffs, and there are also popular players who are out due to injury, and Mourning and Grant Hill have both been thrown into the starting lineup by fans and have barely played this season.

Antonio Davis unexpectedly rose to prominence after joining the Raptors and played the peak of his career, and he can be regarded as a more reliable interior player in the East.

After the comparison, Guo Xu found that although the western lineup was very unreasonable, the eastern side could not win at all, and it was a big problem for them to let defend O'Neal. What's more, the Western Army also has Garnett, Duncan, Webb, and Rashid Wallace, and the strongest power forwards in the NBA are all concentrated in the West, and Nowitzki has not been selected, and his popularity cannot enter the top ten at present.

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

If he goes to the east, Guo Xu may become an all-star, and there will be no drama in the west for the time being.

To put it bluntly, he is still not famous enough, and the NBA commissioner is reluctant to put a lot of effort into praising him. The Chinese media also has little interest in him, usually just routine interviews, will not hype, if Chinese fans are willing to vote for him to enter the starting line-up early, how can he lose popularity to Kidd, who has the team's eighth record in the West?

Guo Xu secretly swore that he would play well in every game in the future, and he would become famous as soon as possible!
