Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 238 [Star chasers, please be more careful]

Guo Xu left behind two bodyguards, and his agent Happy Walters acted with him. Megan Fox and Claire Taylor quietly joined Kobe's team and returned to the United States early that night.

Once his identity was exposed, Guo Xu no longer needed a makeup artist and showed his true face.

No one in the Chinese media paid any attention to Meghan, treating her as an irrelevant person. In an interview, Guo Xu said that none of his friends are celebrities, so no one deliberately digs up information about them.

When the staff saw Meghan and Vanessa together, some thought she was the sister-in-law's best friend, and some suspected she was her biological sister. The two had very similar skin colors, similar hair colors and hairstyles, the same height, and even their lips were similar. The place.

While waiting for the flight at the airport, Vanessa said to Kobe: Look at how considerate Jason is and how good he is to his girlfriend? He knew it would be boring when doing activities with fans, so he asked Meghan to go home first. Look at you, you climbed the Great Wall and disappeared without a trace, do you have a husband like you?

Kobe smiled and said: That kid does have a lot of tricks, but don't you just like me like this?

Megan sat aside and blushed a little, but she didn't refute that she was not Guo Xu's girlfriend. Once they met more often, she no longer regarded Kobe and his wife as outsiders.

When getting on the plane, Meghan walked slowly and reluctantly. This was the most unforgettable experience in her life.

On the other side, the leaders of the Basketball Association cordially received Guo Xu, a big-name NBA star with blood ties to China, and immediately suggested that he be moved to a high-end hotel.

Guo Xu easily won everyone's favor by saying no appearance fee.

My agent is not here to discuss business. Happy is my friend and we traveled together. My father has always told me about the beauty of China. I am very yearning for this place. Now I finally have the opportunity to come and see it. Since I am traveling, not a commercial activity, how can I collect money? I will talk about it later when I have endorsement activities.

Guo Xu is easier to talk to than those CBA players who are purely Chinese. Some CBA players do activities and act like big names to attract the gods.

Since the earliest time the Washington Bullets came to China to play exhibition games in 1979, the purpose of NBA players coming to China has been mainly divided into three categories: participating in NBA league activities, participating in sponsor promotional activities and participating in commercial exhibition games. In short, they are all here for fame and fortune.

Guo Xu is an exception. He doesn't pay attention to ostentation. The Chinese side directly approves everything he prepares and expresses satisfaction. The Basketball Association arranged three days of activities, and Guo Xu readily agreed, with zero appearance fee.

first day,

He met Chinese fans at the Dongdan Basketball Stadium in Beijing.

Before getting off the bus, Guo Xu asked the event host to enter the venue to maintain order, because students were on summer vacation, so there were too many people coming, and there were people standing on the roof. Everyone was afraid that an accident would cause injuries to the fans.

After it was determined that there was no danger, Guo Xu came out to meet the fans and chatted and interacted in Chinese throughout the process.

The host praised Guo Xu for being approachable and without the airs of a football star.

Guo Xu said: My ability to reach this point is inseparable from the support of the fans. It is precisely because of so many fans that there are stars and the development and growth of the NBA league. In my opinion, in addition to games Besides, the fans come first.

Guo Xu continued: So, if there is a star in China who comes to play big in the future, no matter who it is, everyone should ignore him. In my opinion, no one is unattainable. The popularity of all stars lies with the fans. Without the support of fans, stars are just ordinary people who play basketball well. Remember, you are very important!

All the fans applauded wildly. Who doesn't like to be taken seriously?

Guo Xu's words may affect some people's financial future in the future, but that's not his fault. Is it still reasonable to act like a big name?

Guo Xu is mainly targeting the famous basketball star Michael Jordan. In his previous life, Jordan came to China for the first time in 2004, which was extremely luxurious and mysterious.

He flew to Beijing on a special plane from Nike and ate only food flown from Italy, as if the exquisite Chinese food prepared for him was poisonous, as if he had never eaten French fries, burgers and other junk food when he was young.

He stayed in a six-star luxury hotel for about US$5,000 a night and made few public appearances during his three days in the mainland.

In New York, Jordan was able to chat with fans for a few minutes about why he didn't go to the Knicks in 1995. But when he arrived in China, Jordan became a truly aloof god. He descended and left in a hurry, bringing with him a whirlwind that also picked up some gravel. He didn't teach people how to play, and he didn't give interviews. He just let many people know how to sell shoes.

In the original plan, Jordan was supposed to meet Chinese fans at the Dongdan Basketball Stadium, but he ultimately canceled the event, leaving countless Chinese fans who came from all over the world heartbroken, and some even burned the No. 23 jersey on the spot.

In hindsight, Jordan's hunger marketing during his trip to China was very successful, successfully creating an unattainable image and further strengthening the concept of the God of Basketball in the country. In 2015, Joe came to China for the second time with the Hornets as the owner. After 11 years, Jordan's status has changed from player to owner. What remains unchanged is his high popularity.

In the eyes of many fans, Jordan is flawless. Jordan has indeed made outstanding contributions to the development of the NBA. The league praised Jordan desperately, erasing most of his black spots and creating a flawless hero image. But is this really the case?

In life, Jordan was gambling, lustful, mean, stingy, and capricious.

Everyone knows about his gambling and philandering, so there is no need to say more.

When he was a player, Jordan scolded the team owner for being stingy, and he scolded the management during the labor dispute. The league fought fiercely just so that the Bulls could give Jordan $30 million per season in his last two seasons.

When Jordan became the owner of the Bobcats, he was the most stingy owner. In order to save money, he would rather trade Gerald Wallace, the team's top player at the time. However, Elvis's annual salary was less than 10 million, which was a low salary but high performance.

When the league was suspended in 2011, Jordan had a tough attitude and was unwilling to make concessions to labor. Moreover, he did not even want players to receive 50% of basketball-related income. He hoped that players would receive 10-20 percentage points less than the original ratio. Many media criticized Jordan as a despicable and greedy white-eyed wolf.

Besides Jordan, Iverson is the one who loves to play big.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the Chinese media repeatedly exposed the rude behavior of this balloon star, but this could not stop Amy from worshiping him like a prostrate. Iverson almost didn't speak during the event at Xi'an Station. Iverson was accompanied most by his mobile phone and his girlfriend. During the event, he was always on the phone, looking like a busy Boss Ai. Of course, fans should still kneel down when they should and cry when they should!

Later, Iverson discovered that Amy's money was particularly easy to make. After 15 years of publicly stating that he never wanted to come to China again, he came to China every year to make money. He probably lost all his money in gambling and needed to earn more to go back and continue gambling.

Even though Guo Xu has now become one of the celebrities, he still can't stand the behavior of some extreme star-chasers. In reality, when he sees a celebrity, he cries as if his own father died, right?

Guo Xu doesn't need to mention his name now. He just digs a hole in China for those future big-name players. Who can blame them if they jump in by themselves? Screw hunger marketing, screw unattainability.

He is not afraid of spoiling Chinese fans. Star-chasers are not easy to change, and most of them are cute.

Star chasers, please be careful.
