Chapter 285 Waiting for a long time and finally waiting for today
Generally speaking, Wang Zelin did two things during this trip back to China.
One is that all the commercial activities of the trip to the Celestial Dynasty ended smoothly.
The second is to lead the Tianchao men's basketball team to win the Asian Championship.
When he came to the land of Milijian again, the second elder did not come with him, but his girlfriend Lena was with him.
In the words of the old man: "Nowadays, the family has no worries about food and clothing, and my son has a good future. My happiness index has surpassed more than 90% of the Chinese families. The most regrettable thing in this life is that I have not been able to accompany your mother to travel all over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland!"
Ever since, the two elders seemed to have regained the passion of their youth, and started a trip that was just going away.
First visit the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and then go to see foreign places of interest.
At the time of parting, although Wang Zelin was a little bit reluctant, his mentality quickly turned away.
Sometimes, parents don't have to be by their children's side to be happy. They also have some private space of their own and their unfinished dreams when they were young.
If you have the ability, go out and play, it's good!
……
At 8:16 pm on August 10, US time, at his home in Portland, Wang Zelin helped his girlfriend who was sitting on his whip, and saw the latest news:
The NBA officially announced the schedule of each team for the 2013~2014 season.
The most important thing now is the preseason.
As far as the preseason itself is concerned, it is not a very important game. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, and it won't affect the regular season record anyway.
But playing these few games is very meaningful to the players of each team.
The purpose is to allow the players' bodies to re-adapt to the NBA's game rhythm, confrontation, etc. after a few months of rest.
Not everyone is like James, who spends millions of dollars every offseason to maintain his body and maintain his competitive state.
In this regard, Wang Zelin has to admire others.
For more than ten years, he has been demanding himself day by day, and he dare not let his body slack in the slightest. No wonder Lao Zhan was able to win another championship ring in the City of Angels later.
There is one thing to say, after helping Los Angeles win the championship after ten years, and at the same time, after Lao Zhan won the fourth MVP trophy in his career, he has truly secured his position as the second person in history... At least the controversy is not as big as before.
Unlike now, relying entirely on the praise of unscrupulous media and fanatical fans, in fact, there is still a bit of vain under the throne!
However, there is still an old saying that goes, "You have Zhang Liangzhi, I have a wall ladder!"
Wang Zelin is undoubtedly envious of James' self-discipline, because he knows that he cannot achieve this level of self-discipline.
But that doesn't mean he's going to be jealous of James...who let him have a system?
After being in the system for so long, Wang Zelin gradually figured out some of the rules, one of which is:
Before he can fully inherit the full capabilities of the drawn star card, if targeted training is added, the speed of integration will be accelerated; but even if he does not train, his strength will still rise slowly.
Sometimes one has to admit one thing: In terms of the speed of becoming stronger, even the Chosen One can't compare to a B.
With the help of the system, Wang Zelin does not have to worry about his competitive state declining like other players.
So when he was asked if he would play in the next five preseason games, he took a quick look at the schedule and only chose to play in two of them.
One is the Portland VS Clippers held in Tianchao Kyoto on October 10, and the other is against the Suns at home in the Rose Garden Arena on October 8.
You must know that the preseason is no different from the regular season and the playoffs. For the sake of globalization, there are overseas games for such irrelevant games as the playoffs.
Sometimes they are not NBA teams for global promotion work.
For example, the Philadelphia 75ers have a game going to Bilbao, Spain, against the Bilbao men's basketball team under the Euroleague system.
After playing the game in Spain, the 75ers will go to the second busiest city in the UK, Myster, to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The protagonist this time is naturally the Thunder, and the 75 people are just supporting roles...
There are three overseas games in just five preseason games, and I feel drunk just thinking about it!
If it was last year, of course he would not refuse the team's request, because he is not qualified to refuse.
But since he has reached the status of today's team, he naturally has the qualifications to say "NO".
Returning to China to play games is considered to give back to the elders in his hometown. Wang Zelin is very happy about this kind of thing. If he wants to let him fly to other places, there is no need to talk about it.
Unless it is to add money!
But is it possible?
Regarding Wang Zelin's choice, after the team reported to the league, the top management quickly agreed.
What does the NBA rely on to make money?
Of course they are fans!
Whether buying tickets to watch or sitting at home to watch, the fans are the gods of the league.
And what do fans most want to see?
It must be a star!
Therefore, the league usually adopts a laissez-faire attitude of turning a blind eye to some innocuous requests from the stars.
Besides, Wang Zelin also has his own legitimate reasons... He accidentally slipped and fell in the bathroom while taking a shower and twisted his waist.
Cough cough, it seems to be nonsense, but in fact it is enough nonsense.
But for the executives, it is enough to have a reason to prevaricate the fans.
Perhaps they never imagined that in the future, there would really be a strange thing that would be reimbursed for the season due to a slip in the bathroom.
……
……
……
……
In a recording studio.
"Wang, you are a genius! It's a pity not to join the entertainment industry!"
Lillard, who was dressed in a fancy dress, couldn't help but sigh again after singing "Stitches" with Wang Zelin.
Wang Zelin glanced at Lillard, and said in his heart: It's too pitiful, no foreigner can say "Damn!"
"This album has already been released, and I'm afraid many fans will go crazy. Maybe this is what you call 'both styles and style'!"
The man with long hair in hip-hop outfits and an artist's air all over his body firmly believed.
"It's such an honor to be a part of this album!"
The other guy who was recording nodded.
I'll go, these guys are too exaggerated!
Facing a group of strange compliments beside him, Wang Zelin had a thought.
However, when I think that almost all of the 2K series songs that I come up with are familiar to the fans, I can understand their feelings.
He thought one thing in his heart, but what he said was another: "Actually, I think so too."
"..."
Everyone is petrifying.
Don't they all say that people in the Celestial Dynasty want to be humble?
Why does this guy feel completely different!
But I have to say that he is more supported by Europeans and Americans, which is in line with the consistent views of Europeans and Americans:
Powerful, it was meant to be shown!
……
After nearly ten days, Wang Zelin finally fulfilled his promise to Lillard and successfully recorded his first album.
Different from previous singles, this time there are a total of 7 songs!
It is conceivable that the long-awaited fans are about to feast their ears.
Up to now, Wang Zelin has the consciousness of being a qualified civil servant.
No, he did this to promote the friendly exchange of music culture between the two worlds, and his starting point is good.
Besides, the matter of readers...
know more.
……
September 9st, US time.
Last night, distributors at all levels put the first album "Faith In Basketball" jointly released by Wang Zelin and Lillard on the shelves of record stores.
Among them, the bust pictures of Wang Zelin and Lillard are printed on both sides of the record, and their names are highlighted in bold.
NBA players + music, do you have any ideas?
As it turns out, there is.
Moreover, there are many NBA players who have released records or singles before.
Even O'Neal, Iverson, Tony Parker and other stars that people are very familiar with have released their own songs.
By the way, there is also the old blacksmith in Los Angeles.
It's just that unlike the above three people, Kobe is a proper negative teaching material. Although the album in 01 invited many big names in the music industry to make guest appearances for him, his singing level is really not flattering.
This is one of the dark history of Kobe's early career.
After that, Kobe cut off his music development path and devoted himself to basketball.
Facts have also proved that he is indeed not suitable for music, so let's work with peace of mind.
In fact, NBA players release singles and albums, in essence, they want to use their own livelihood to earn some extra money during the offseason.
The difference is that some players do have talent in this area, such as Shaquille O'Neal, who has accumulated more than a million laughs on the sidelines, but such people are a minority after all. Most of the songs released by players are of average quality, and after a few splashes occasionally disappear, they disappear without a trace.
From the outside world, Lillard and Wang Zelin's album is likely to be the same.
Although Wang Zelin has released one or two songs of good quality before, it has been such a long time, who knows how much he can have in his stomach?
If it's in stock, why didn't he send it out sooner!
With scrutinizing eyes, no, after listening to the whole album with ears, people unexpectedly found that...
Whoops!not bad!
Gradually, with the natural fame bonus of NBA players and the already excellent quality albums, the popularity became more and more intense, and some places even sold out.
Until this album debuted at No. 200 in the Billboard 9 albums for the first time.
This shocked some people with deep thoughts!
An album made by two amateurs, has achieved such a result.
Where is the face of such a group of professional singers?
As time goes by, record sales are getting higher and higher!
5 million, 10 million, 20 million...
With such explosive data, Wang Zelin finally realized that the popularity of the album "Faith In Basketball" is much more crazy than they expected before!
Is the charm that good music can bring really so great?
After evaluating the financial income that this album will bring to me through professionals... well, it is quite large.
It seems that the career of Wen Chaogong has a bright future!
……
Across the ocean.
The battle for Faith In Basketball is finally here.
It's not that there were no fans who paid attention to this matter before, on the contrary, there were quite a few people who paid attention.
But everyone thought that Wang Zelin and Lillard were just playing around, after all, they are separated like mountains!
Who knows, they still underestimated Wang Zelin's ability to make things happen.
In addition to the shock in the heart, it was followed by boundless ecstasy!
How many singers in the Chinese music scene regard being able to hold a world-class concert as a lifelong pursuit.
However, due to the different languages, no matter how well the local albums sell, it will be the same in foreign countries.
Can't you see that it has been more than ten years, and the song "Kiss Goodbye" by the God of Songs is still an unattainable mountain.
Fortunately, the two laymen have most likely accomplished what many professional singers dream of.
I don't agree!
Many domestic singers roared in their hearts.
For this reason, many people secretly bought this album and secretly listened to it at home.
Convinced, very generous and openly recommended this album to his fans.
Those who are still unwilling choose to bury their heads in the sand and become camels.
But in any case, after being tested by local singers, the gold content and popularity of this album skyrocketed, and the impact it brought was naturally that the sales of Tianchao soared all the way.
This was something Wang Zelin never expected.
……
9 month 10 number.
Wang Zelin, who had finished a boring day of training, was just about to enjoy a pair of waves when he received an unexpected call.
"What? To select my song into 2K..."
Wang Zelin was dumbfounded at the time, followed by panic.
Doesn't he know that others don't know?
The songs in the album are almost all songs from the 2K series in the future.
If you catch a sheep and squeeze too much, Xu Song will have to become Xu Gao too! (just to describe it)
But when Wang Zelin heard the fee that 2K was willing to pay, he immediately calmed down and became confident.
what?
Is it possible that you can come over and beat me up from a world away!
Still the same sentence: the matter of scholars...
Wang Zelin took the case on the spot and said: "Okay! No problem, you can discuss the details with my agent, I still have to train."
"Okay! Oh! Wang, I didn't expect you to be so hardworking. You are still training after 9 o'clock in the evening. No wonder you are so successful in the NBA."
The 2K employee in charge of the negotiation was surprised, but couldn't help but praise him.
People who work hard are popular no matter where they are.
Especially capitalists, they like this kind of people too much.
Wang Zelin lowered his head and stroked Leina's beautiful hair. He coughed tactically and replied, "Let's do this first. When you come back, my manager Zhou Yang will be fine. Let's find a chance to meet each other... Sigh!!!"
"okay!"
Hearing Wang Zelin's voice on the phone was a bit weird, the employee didn't think too much about it. He was just happy that he had settled another order, completed his performance, and could leave work early.
After half an hour.
"Shu Tan!"
Wang Zelin was lying on the sofa, motionless.
"Wang, you are so awesome that 2K can actually invite you in person."
After taking a shower, Lena, wearing a big T-shirt on her upper body, walked over and put it on Wang Zelin's lap.
Facts have proved that true knowledge comes from practice.
"Woman, you are playing with fire!"
Wang Zelin didn't answer Leina's question directly, but instead uttered the classic lines of the domineering hero in female video novels.
What can be endured, what can't be endured!
Monster, I want you to help me practice... (The ten thousand characters are omitted here)
