Chapter 133 [Living in the Moment]
The next day, Wang Jun's exposure rate exploded James, becoming the most watched rookie and making headlines in entertainment news.
The Los Angeles Times released a photo of him and Theron on half of the page, accompanied by an article: "Theron has not appeared for several months after filming his new film, and he is suspected of being in love." Her boyfriend is Wang Jun, a Chinese player and NBA second-round rookie who was selected by the Heat. β
Charlize Theron, known as the "vase" in Hollywood, has never acted in a film that praises her acting skills, and her collaboration with her friend Keanu Reeves in "Sweet November" almost won the worst actress in Golden Sour Plum.
But this does not prevent her from becoming a star, beauty alone is enough.
In 2001, she topped the list of the sexiest women in "Gentleman", and she has a large number of male fans, some call her Hollywood's Venus.
Wang Jun changed his clothes, with a crisp round hairstyle, and a good figure after losing weight, but he still has a little flesh on his face, he looks relatively handsome, and his appearance is at least middle and upper. But fans don't think so.
The object of the goddess's scandal is actually a little-known little player, what is the situation?
They felt that Theron was no longer blind, but completely blind.
What about her good friend Keanu Reeves? What about Stuart Townsend who pursues her? If you don't look for two rich stars, how can you choose a second-round rookie who doesn't enter the stream!
The biggest reaction was Chris Carman, who saw the news and almost ate the mouse in a fit of excitement.
He immediately called Wang Jun and shouted: "Wang Jun, you are so unrighteous, why don't you tell me if you know a big star?" β
"The first thing to tell you is that you and Charlie have eaten together. You used to tell me to ignore her, saying she was too ugly. Wang Jun smiled bitterly.
Charlie...... Charlize ......"
The phone hung up suddenly, and Wang Jun called again and no one answered, probably doing something stupid.
Abby calls the second and asks for guilt. "Wang, can you explain what is going on? Why don't you tell me you know Charlize Theron? Why did you go into the hotel together? β
Wang Jun explained again, saying that he had just knew.
Abby had the feeling that she had dug a hole and jumped into it herself. Wang Jun didn't want to call, but she proposed to contact this friend. I thought it was an ugly "Charlie", but who knew it was actually this kind of "Charlie"?
The narcissistic Abby, for the first time in her life, feels like she is being compared.
Even if she is like a flower and invincible youth, she is now just a small reporter at ESPN. If she wants to interview a rookie like James, she has to wait outside the locker room, and she has to be polite to see the other person. And a female star of Theron's level, it is difficult for James to meet her.
The fame is too bad......
Seeing that Abby didn't respond for a long time, Wang Jun hurriedly explained: "Abby, I am friends with her, and I entered the hotel because she booked a room here for me, and she wants to take me on a tour of Los Angeles, as a landlord, she doesn't live here." β
"But the news says that Theron himself admitted to examining you." Abby blew into the phone.
"Uh......" Wang Jun twitched the corner of his eyes, unable to explain.
"Forget it, since she's going to take you to play, you're over there, so you're famous before you play in the NBA. I'll contact you when you get to New York. Abby snorted and hung up.
Wang Jun smiled bitterly, put the phone on the table, and looked out the window.
Theron was swimming in the rooftop pool, his black bikini looming and cool.
"Finished calling Abby? Is she jealous? Theron climbed into the pool, wiped his hair with a towel, and leaned back on the lounger with a smile.
"Kind of." Wang Jun was a little proud.
"But you're not going to go, are you?" Theron blinked.
"Yes, when you pretended to be an ugly girl, we got along very well, and now that you have become a big beauty and are so good to me, how can I leave?"
Wang Jun boldly said what he thought, took off his coat, and jumped into the pool in swimming trunks.
Where to go? Back in Ann Arbor, I was bored practicing by myself, I couldn't afford to find a sparring partner, and my progress was slow. If you go to New York, the deal hasn't been announced yet, Abby has to go to work, and he has to pay for a hotel.
Knowing that Theron is a star, Wang Jun's vanity is greatly satisfied.
People are vanity, who doesn't want to know big stars? And he and Theron feel thrilled together, like adventure, and even more seductive, and he likes it.
Wang Jun is a person who pursues pleasure in his bones, but because of his sister's illness, his life is a little tangled.
He doesn't like to be entangled, he can't do that kind of thing, why refuse if he is happy? Not to mention knowing that if he refused the kindness, Theron would be very depressed.
He would rather be a short-sighted person for the sake of the current pleasure than hurt the person in front of him.
Living in the present is life.
After swimming twice, Wang Jun didn't need to wipe his short hair, so he lay on another recliner to bask in the sun, and sighed: "Rich people live like this, right?" I really want to sign a big contract soon. β
"And that's not even counting the life of the rich, where big-name celebrities buy estates, drive top-of-the-line sports cars, hire gardeners, maids, hairdressers and even tailors. I'm still far from it. β
"How much money did you make from your last movie?"
"Three million salaries, not much to tax." Theron said flatly.
Wang Jun's mouth opened wide. "Three million is not much, it's too exciting."
Theron knew him well and said with a smile: "If you become a star at the level of O'Neal and Kobe, you will make more money than me, and it will be easier." They earn more than $10 million a year, and if you count endorsements such as sneakers, they earn at least $20 million a year. β
"But that's too hard." Wang Jun couldn't wait.
"Didn't the champion you defeated already sign a contract with Nike for tens of millions? Fight well and try to get them to find you sooner. β
"I hope so."
"It's a pity you're going to Miami, and there are very few movies made there." Theron sighed.
Wang Jun looked at her and smiled slightly. "Actually, I'm going to be traded to the Nets, in the suburbs of New York, but it hasn't been announced yet."
"Really? Are you sure? Theron covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Really."
Two days later, the Nets announced that they had completed a trade with the Heat, trading 22 first-round rookies Zoran PraniΔ for Wang Jun.
**, ESPN and other radio stations unanimously agreed that this was a brain-dead deal, and the Heat picked up a big bargain.
Sports Illustrated columnist Marty Burns wrote: "I don't think the Nets have any reinforcements for the new season, and whether they can play well can only be pinned on Mourning's health." Will his body be able to withstand 82 matches? It's a great adventure. As for the outside line for Wang Jun, it was just to save money, and the defensive colander was worthless. β
The 33-year-old has missed two of those seasons in the past three seasons battling kidney disease, and even in his first comeback season, he struggled to get back to his All-Star form.
The Nets team is looked down upon, Wang Jun doesn't care, he is very happy to join him.
Accompanied by Theron, he visited many attractions in Los Angeles and also visited Hollywood.
He was happy and felt lucky.
