Chapter 235 [The Birth of an Actor Season 3]
Guo Xu set his last stop in Beijing in order to go to the Great Wall to meet Kobe.
On August 11, Bryant will climb the Mutianyu Great Wall in Beijing, and he was invited by Adidas to guide the "2001 Adidas Street Basketball Challenge" in Beijing.
During the three-day trip, Bryant first participated in basketball training camp, and finally went to the Great Wall to show off his skills.
Guo Xu arrived two days in advance and did not meet Kobe, he planned to surprise the other party. The task of confirming Kobe's itinerary was given to Megan, who texted Vanessa.
Soon after they got married, Kobe Bryant was reluctant to leave his wife at home, and Vanessa came to China with her.
Guo Xu has already made a plan, and when his identity is revealed, he will definitely participate in the event in China, and then Meghan will go back to Los Angeles with Kobe Bryant and Vanessa first, and he will go back later.
In this way, the media will not be able to interview Meghan, and if you are lucky, no one will notice her, and there will be no controversy. Guo Xu's interaction with Chinese fans can also make fans happy.
After getting up that morning, Guo Xu began to put on makeup in the hotel, bringing a gray wig, white beard, fake face, etc., and tossed for half an hour, Claire was very satisfied with her work.
Guo Xu brought a pair of glasses with no prescription, wore a long-sleeved sportswear, hunched back to the hotel lobby, and greeted Meghan and others in English, but no one recognized him.
Then he walked up to Meghan and whispered in his usual tone, "Come and pick up your bag, or you'll regret it." ”
Megan jumped up in fright, and after listening to Claire's explanation, she couldn't cry or laugh. "You put on makeup like this, don't you just scare me?"
"What's the point of scaring you? If you want to scare Kobe, I'm going to leave a legend on the Great Wall about the Chinese hook old man. Uh-huh-hehe-hehe. ”
Guo Xu smiled like Zeng Xiaoxian, Megan felt that there was nothing good, he would only be serious when facing the media, he usually liked to play pranks, and he was as naïve as Ao Fat.
As a reborn, Guo Xu's brain is huge, and what he has to do is very simple, pretend to be an old man to fight Kobe Bryant.
In Guo Xu's previous life, "Uncle Drew" was a creative commercial shot by point guard star Kyrie Irving for Pepsi Zero in 2012, in which Irving swept the street basketball court in the guise of Uncle Drew with the white beard.
There were four commercials, the second featuring Kevin Love, and the third featuring Nate Robinson and women's basketball star Maya Moore. The fourth part invited Ray Allen and Byron Davis to join.
The series of commercials was so popular with fans that it was made into a big movie in 2018, with Nate Robinson, Reggie Miller, O'Neal and others in addition to Irving, and earned more than $50 million at the box office.
Guo Xu advanced this idea, taking other people's paths, so that others had no way out.
And Owen pretended to be an old man just to abuse amateur rookies on the street court, how could his PK Kobe attract attention?
After hearing that Bryant was going to Beijing, fans and the media were so moved that the organizers had to strengthen the bodyguards, limit the number of interviewers, and keep Kobe's whereabouts secret.
Despite this, some well-informed fans still rushed to the Mutianyu Great Wall early, carrying Kobe's huge poster and looking forward to it on the beacon tower.
At half past nine, when the host announced that Kobe Bryant was about to arrive, the crowd began to riot, and a female fan who was squeezed into the back row kept begging Gary Vos in front: "Please turn sideways, I can't see it." ”
"Man, let her come to the front, you just have to pay attention to the back, you can see it anyway." Guo Xu arrived more than an hour early, holding a poster of Kobe Bryant in the front row to pretend to be a fan, and turned his head to the bodyguard Gary and said with a smile in English.
Anyway, there are a lot of security guards today, Guo Xu is not a real old man, Gary is not afraid that something will happen to him, so he gave up his position to the female student and stayed a little behind. As a bodyguard for this kind of star, he can't laugh anymore, and the number of laughs in the past month is half of his life.
"Uncle, thank you, you speak English so well." The skin is a little dark, and at first glance, the vitality girl who looks like a sports student said with a smile.
"I've been practicing English for more than 10 years, so it's more convenient when I go abroad." Guo Xu said with a smile.
"You're so old and you're a cormist?" Yuanqi Mei looked at the poster in his hand and asked curiously.
"I've got you." Guo Xu handed the poster with his name to Yuanqi Mei, stroked his beard, and said slowly with the expression of an old man chatting with a juvenile madness: "What's so strange about this?" I didn't lose a game against the Lakers last season, but I liked Jason Guo more than Kobe. ”
Yuanqi Mei nodded, looking like a little fan girl: "I like him very much, Jason Guo is so handsome." ”
"Hahaha." Yuanqi Mei was on Guo Xu's left, and on his right was the female bodyguard Zhao Qi, who couldn't help but laugh crazy after hearing the conversation between the two.
Surrounded by bodyguards, Kobe Bryant, who has a hairball hairstyle and a mustache, appeared on the Great Wall with his wife Vanessa. Wearing a sweatshirt emblazoned with the words "No Hero to the Great Wall" and fat gray sports shorts, he sits on the latest sneakers named after him, grinning and waving to fans chanting his name.
Before Kobe Bryant's performance, there was first an Adidas slam dunk contest.
After the five young Chinese players participating in the tournament appeared, Kobe Bryant ran up to the court to high-five and pat the shoulders with each player, a bit like what he did with his teammates when he was with the Lakers, the 23-year-old Kobe Bryant is about the same age as these college students, but the status difference is too much, and the five are very excited, eager to sign autographs and ask for a group photo.
After the dunk competition began, Kobe Bryant, as a judge, was meticulous, and in addition to scoring, he did not forget to point out a few words.
He suggested that Guangzhou's Lu Zhiwen spread his legs more in the air, so that the movements would be more stretched and the audience would be more enjoyable.
Seeing Shenyang's Wang Wei ingeniously use a masked dunk, and the masked look looks like a bank robber, Kobe Bryant said a little shyly: "This action is not in the NBA." ”
After the dunk game was over, Kobe Bryant was also eager to try to compete, and he walked up to the court and said: "My feelings are like burning, I want to fly over the Great Wall." ”
Although there was no preparatory activity, Kobe Bryant was far superior to the amateurs as soon as he made a shot, and he staged a pull-up back dunk, a crotch dunk, a one-handed windmill dunk and other stunts, which were his signature moves when he won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, which made all the fans on the Great Wall chant his name in unison.
Kobe Bryant licked his fingers, clapped his palms, and covered his ears to listen to the cheers of the fans, all of which he was used to in the NBA.
He picked up the microphone and exclaimed himself: "It's so exciting, I've never played at such a height, and it's amazing to be able to dunk on the famous Great Wall!" ”
The Chinese host announced that the event would enter the next part, and Kobe Bryant would fight with a fan at the scene, and the selection was pointed out by Kobe's wife Vanessa.
At this time, no one noticed Meghan standing behind Kobe's tall white bodyguard, and when Kobe was sitting in his seat as a judge, Megan took photographers Kevin and Vanessa to meet and briefly talked about their group trip to China.
Knowing that Guo Xu was going to pretend to be an old man and Kobe Bryant, Vanessa's two rows of teeth were exposed, and she already knew who she was going to choose.
