Chapter 401 The Great Director's Invitation

During the two-day offseason, Bai Jidong has no time to spare. Apart from training, other activities are full of time.

In addition to participating in community charity activities on behalf of the Timberwolves in the morning, training in the afternoon, and going to a charity gala in the evening.

The next day, Bai Jidong spent the whole day watching the football at Poseidon Academy.

Since Poseidon Academy entered his name, this declining high school has become more and more popular, and young geniuses from the United States have come here especially for it.

Bai Jidong didn't expect such a response. He joined this school to provide a springboard for the students of Dream Academy to study abroad. He didn't expect this effect.

Last summer, the first batch of American students from Mengyuan Academy joined Poseidon Academy.

Most of them are those with excellent semester grades and potential new stars with high hopes.

I thought it was just a Chinese school in the United States. After coming here, these children who swept across the country felt the pressure.

The United States is full of geniuses, and every day is accompanied by fierce competition.

If you want to gain a foothold in the team, you must not only compete with your compatriots, but also compete with these American elites of the same age.

The facilities of Poseidon Academy are comparable to any powerful school, because Bai Jidong does not participate in team teaching, so all he can do is to open his pockets and take out the money one by one.

Over the years, Inu.com has been growing stronger, his income has been increasing day by day, coupled with some successful investments, as well as taking commercials and commercial performances without a limit, Bai Jidong is already the richest active NBA player.

"Porter, what do you think of Fisher?" Bai Jidong was communicating with Porter, the head coach of Poseidon High School.

The Fisher he was talking about was Lin Yu, an international student from Dream Academy, because his name had the word fish, so he used the English word for fish as his name, which was Fisher.

Porter praised: "He is very talented, has the perfect height and wingspan in the same position, and has strong athletic ability. If he can strengthen his shooting skills, his future will be limitless."

Bai Jidong looked at Lin Yu from a distance, he was a typical "late bloomer" in the Dream Academy.

The year before last, he was a substitute for the second team. Because of his height and strength, he was promoted to the first team, followed the first team to sweep the domestic National Youth League, and then was sent to study in the United States.

As the first batch of players from Dream Academy to travel to the United States, Lin Yu is one of the best.

Thinking of the twists and turns in establishing the Dream Academy, Bai Jidong secretly sighed.

Years of layout have finally produced results. Although there is still some distance from success, hope has already been seen.

Among this group of players, Zhao Li, the oldest, has already made his mark in the United States, leading St. John's College to play his own sky in Chicago, and has been targeted by many NCAA Division I universities.

Domestic Butu received an invitation from Oak Hill High School, as well as a group of young players like Lin Yu.

Bai Jidong believes that they will become the mainstay of Chinese basketball in the future.

After watching their training, Bai Jidong quietly left, he still has other things to do.

Today is the press conference for the countdown to the release of "Baller", and all the leading actors must attend.

In order to take care of Bai Jidong's itinerary, the event party set the event location at Apolis.

Bai Jidong came to the scene wearing a formal suit, he immediately attracted all eyes, as if tonight was a runway show tailor-made for him.

"Believe me, there is only one star tonight, and that is you." Liv Taylor said softly close to Bai Jidong's face.

"You're too close." Bai Weidong pulled away with a smile on his face, besides the crew, there were other people, such as James Cameron who was on vacation in Apolis.

Bai Jidong approached him as if meeting an idol: "It would be great if the fourth part of "Alien" was filmed by you."

"You like Alien?" Anthony asked with a smile.

"To tell you the truth, I like it very much. It was the first movie I saw in America." Bai Jidong said.

Anthony said: "Bye, your performance in "Baller" surprised me. I have never seen an NBA player whose acting skills are as good as yours."

"You praised me too much. I don't have any acting skills. I just try not to drag everyone down." Bai Jidong said modestly.

"I'm serious." Anthony said, "The eyes are the windows to the soul. Many actors have the skills to make a hundred expressions, but there is always only one eye. Acting skills without eyes cannot infect others."

"Okay, I admit, I have studied with Victoria for a few days, maybe I really have talent?" Bai Jidong has never been a person who is always humble.

Anthony said: "If you have not received formal training before, but just learned from other actors for a period of time, then I can be sure that you are a genius in this area."

Having received such affirmation from the great director, Bai Jidong couldn't help feeling distracted, "Really?"

"Bye, please trust my vision." Anthony said, "Come with me."

Bai Jidong followed.

The two heavyweights suddenly came to the side to chat, the reporter naturally would not let this scene go, the camera pointed at the two people's location, and took pictures of Bai Jidong and Anthony's "conspiracy" one after another.

Anthony took Bai Jidong to a corner with fewer people, "Bye, I have a movie in my hand, and there is a role that suits you very well."

"Are you kidding? How can I act in your movie?" Bai Jidong's first reaction was that Anthony said casually when he was drunk.

"I watched the screening of "Baller", and there is no problem with your acting skills, and the most important thing in this movie is the actor's body shape." Anthony stretched out his hand to pinch Bai Jidong's muscles like a guy: "You The secondary physique is very suitable for acting as a soldier."

"What?" Bai Jidong put down his wine glass, "Are you serious?"

"Do I look like I'm not serious?" Anthony asked back.

"Hollywood should have many better actors than me." Bai Jidong said.

"But no one is more influential than you." Anthony said, "I need an actor who has good acting skills and influence all over the world."

"For you, is the actor's personal influence or acting skills more important?"

This is very important to Bai Jidong, he hopes that what Anthony values ​​him is his acting skills, not some bullshit influence.

Anthony poured a glass of red wine and took a sip: "Bye, I regard my work as life, and I will never take it lightly. I will only consider your influence if your acting skills pass the test."

"When will the filming start?" Bai Jidong asked.

"Summer, maybe earlier." Anthony said.

"That's hard to say, I still have competition tasks in summer." Bai Jidong said.

"This is not a problem. The shooting location can be transferred, as long as you can spare time to shoot every day." Anthony said: "On behalf of the "Avatar" crew, I formally extend an invitation to you."

"Your invitation is comparable to an O'Brien Cup." Bai Jidong smiled, "I will not refuse to open my hands to the O'Brien Cup."

"Welcome to join, White Wolf." Anthony smiled.

"Thank you for your appreciation." Bai Jidong never dreamed that he would be caught by Carmelo Anthony.

After agreeing with Anthony, Bai Jidong went to the camera and continued to answer reporters' questions.

When a reporter asked him what he and Anthony talked about, Bai Jidong dealt with it with a polite smile.

The reporter is easy to deal with, but Taylor wants to know the inside story: "What did you talk about with Cameron?"

"He invited me to join the crew of "Avatar." As soon as Bai Weidong finished speaking, Taylor's mouth and eyes opened wide.

"You look surprised?" Bai Jidong asked.

Taylor touched his chest and said: "You may not know what "Avatar" means to Cameron."

"What?" Bai Jidong asked.

"Just like you to me." Tyler took the opportunity to flirt.

Bai Jidong said: "Stop making trouble, just tell me."

"He's been working on this movie for 15 years, and from what I've been told, there's no budget limit," Taylor said.

"What do they want to do? Make a second "Titanic"?" Bai Jidong said in surprise.

"Cameron is very ambitious. He put all his energy into this movie. Hollywood has already fought for the role in it." Taylor sighed.

Bai Jidong smiled and asked: "Do you have a share?"

"I'm not even qualified to fight." Taylor said bitterly.

"If "Ball Player" becomes popular, will your value increase?" Bai Jidong knew nothing about these things.

Taylor shook his head and said, "No, "The Baller" is just a commercial movie. As far as the movie is concerned, there is nothing technical about it. I believe it will become a hit and increase your popularity, but it won't help me."

"Can you stay with me for a while?" After the press conference, Taylor asked Bai Jidong.

Bai Jidong said: "I have to go back."

"Just a moment." Taylor said pitifully.

Bai Jidong hated seeing her like this the most, she already looked very weak, and the flickering eyes were irresistible.

Bai Jidong frowned and said, "Let me declare first that I can't spend the night with you."

"Even if you want to stay, I won't agree. Do you know how many paparazzi stare at me every day?" Taylor said with a smile
Bai Jidong said: "With paparazzi staring at you, we can't be together."

"Don't worry, I have a solution." Taylor was very good at confusing sight.

She created a commotion again, and Bai Jidong took advantage of the chaos to leave.

Taylor was lying on the bed, only wearing underwear, while Bai Jidong dressed slowly.

"There will be a celebration party in a few days, are you coming?" Taylor asked.

"I can't come, I should be playing away at that time." Bai Jidong said.

"Aren't you going to stay a little longer?" Tyler asked.

Bai Jidong said: "If it's too late, Mondolia will be worried."

"Well then, remember to put on your hat and go through the back door."

Taylor exhorted. "I know."

Bai Jidong left the door and followed Taylor's instructions to leave here.
