Chapter 288 The end of the regular season

"Sissi, your role has been decided."

Yang Xue personally called Liu Yifei to tell her the news.

"Really? Ah, thank you Sister Xue!"

Liu Yifei was sitting in the classroom of Beijing Film Academy. When she heard the news, she jumped up with excitement.

Fei Ge, who had just come in, looked at Liu Yifei. Was the role finalized? Did Zhou Xun fail to win the competition?

Jiang Yiyan and others also stared at Liu Yifei with wide eyes, full of envy, jealousy and hatred. All kinds of emotions were enough to make them reminisce for a long time.

Yang Xue had something else to do, so she hung up the phone immediately.

"Yifei, has the Bone Realm been decided?" Brother Fei asked.

"Yeah." Liu Yifei nodded with a smile.

However, she did not dare to show her joy too much, because several people in the classroom participated in the audition, including Fei Ge.

"Me, me, me, this is a text message from Zhongzhong Mid-Autumn Festival Film and Television."

At this time, Jiang Yiyan's cell phone rang. She took a look, then jumped nervously, stammering, and almost dropped the phone.

Luo Jin said: "Text message? Why are you so excited? If you passed, you would definitely be notified by phone! If you failed, you would be notified by text message."

"what?"

Jiang Yiyan sat down in frustration.

"Ugh!"

She opened the text message without giving up and saw that it was indeed about her failing the audition.

Brother Fei lectured him, "I told you to pick a supporting role, but you insisted on auditioning for the White Bone Lady. Is that a role you can play?"

"Brother Fei, the female lead, who doesn't want to play the female lead?" Jiang Yiyan said with a sad face.

At this time, Fei Ge's cell phone rang with a text message alert.

The classroom fell silent instantly.

"I'm just auditioning for a vixen, I won't fail, right?"

Brother Fei took out his cell phone and took a look. It was a text message from Yang Xue, and he couldn't help but mutter something softly.

She opened it and saw the message: "Dear Ms. Fei Ge, you passed the audition for 'Fox Spirit'. Congratulations!"

"what!"

She laughed heartily, then gritted her teeth and said, "Yang Xue, you damned girl, you didn't even bother to call me. I taught you for four years in vain."

"Teacher, did you pass?"

"Brother Fei?"

"No, Luo Jin, didn't you say the text message just didn't go through?"

"I don't know?"

"I don't know what you were yelling about just now?"

"Oh, I got a text message too. F*ck, I didn't pass?"

"I didn't pass either. It seems that only Liu Yifei and Fei Ge passed in our class."

As text message alerts sounded one after another, the classroom of the 02 undergraduate performance class suddenly became chaotic.

"I passed?"

When Zeng Li received Yang Xue's call at home, she was a little bit unbelieving.

"Sister Zeng, you are a famous actress. If your temperament didn't match the setting of the White Bones Queen, Director Yang would think you would be more suitable for the role of the White Bones Queen." Yang Xue said.

Zeng Li said happily: "Thank you Director Yang Jie for the compliment. Oh, I don't know what to say. It's such a big production, and I'm lucky enough to be able to participate..."

After a brief chat, Yang Xue notified Zhou Xue.

Zhou Xue was very happy after receiving the call.

The Fox Girl of Qing Qiu was no match for Liu Yifei, but the Sword Witch Girl was also very good, so it was worth signing with Zhongqiu Film and Television.

When Zhang Ziyi received Yang Xue's call, he was shocked to hear that he had failed the audition for the Sword Witch, but then he heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the White Bone Saint Queen had passed.

The two chatted for a few words, then Yang Xue hung up the phone and called Bai Bingbing.

Bai Bingbing was living in a guesthouse at the time and was preparing to practice the Dream China program.

Although she participated in the audition of Zhongqiu Film and Television, she didn't even think about passing. The reason was naturally that she had no acting experience, had never studied acting, and her looks were just so-so. How could they choose her?

So after receiving Yang Xue's call, she stood there in a daze, unable to say a word for a long time. It was not until Yang Xue said several words that she reacted.

"Mr. Yang, why did you choose me?" she asked with great doubt.

"Well, this is the decision of the three directors because of your temperament."

To be honest, Yang Xue didn't quite understand why Bai Bingbing was chosen. There were several beautiful female stars competing with Bai Bingbing, such as Gao Yuanyuan, but Bai Bingbing was chosen.

"But, but I can't act." Bai Bingbing said weakly.

"That's okay. There are still a few months of preparation. During these months, we will provide you with targeted training based on the needs of the role and arrange the most professional teachers and courses for you."

"Then I, I..."

"You're going to participate in that CCTV program, right?"

"Yep."

"There's no time left. If you're willing to quit the show, come over and sign a contract with the company."

"Yes, yes."

“By the way, you need to sign a management contract with Zhongqiu Film and Television Company first, and then sign a contract with the White Bone World after becoming an artist of our company.

That is to say, after becoming an artist, you have to give up going to college."

"Oh, okay, Mr. Yang."

The next day, Zhongqiu Film and Television announced that the casting was completed.

The others are easy to say, but the selection of Bai Bingbing, an amateur, who plays the succubus Tianxiang, one of the five major female protagonists, is surprising.

All the beautiful celebrities who auditioned for the role of Tianxiang Succubus felt that there must be some inside story behind this audition, otherwise how could they lose to an amateur?
"Bai Bingbing is second to Liu Yifei, and her opportunities even far exceed Liu Yifei." Yanjing Daily.

"Bai Bingbing is the first in the history of the world film industry to play the leading role in a $1.2 million mega-production as soon as she debuted," Los Angeles Times.

This incident not only caused a sensation in China, but also quickly spread around the world through the Internet, and was reported by a large number of overseas media.

Not to mention, as the news was announced, the pressure on Wang Jinhua increased dramatically because Liu Jialing proposed to terminate the contract with her.

Liu Jialing felt that she was very suitable for the role of the White Bone Queen. If she had not been banned by Zhongqiu Film and Television, she might not have lost to Zhang Ziyi.

Zhang Ziyi's face is too small and her face shape is not suitable for the image of the Holy Queen at all. She is the best candidate.

"Sister Wang, look at what has happened. Should we reconsider our cooperation with that guy, Wu Kebo?"

Hu Jun and Liu Jialing are very good friends. After knowing that she wanted to terminate the contract, he immediately called Wang Jinhua to talk to her about this matter.

After receiving Hu Jun's call, Wang Jinhua knew that things were not going well. Once morale was lost, it would be difficult to lead the team.

In fact, leaving Huayi and working with Wu Kebo only has something to do with her, and has nothing to do with stars like Hu Jun and Liu Jialing. These stars will film the same movies no matter which company they stay in.

But now, because of Zhongqiu Film and Television’s ban on Huayi, the interests of celebrities have been affected and things have become troublesome.

"Mr. Hu, my contract will expire in August. As long as I leave Huayi, Zhongqiu Film and Television will no longer ban you, because you have no relationship with Huayi. Please give me some more time."

"No, Sister Wang, can you guarantee that Zhongqiu Film and Television will not target Wu Kebo's company next time?" Hu Jun asked.

"this?"

Hu Jun said: "Zhongqiu Film and Television has invested so much and has great ambitions. It will definitely be the leader in the film and television industry in the future. Can you watch Wu Kebo's company rise?

Another thing, Sister Wang, Yang Xue hoped that you would bring us to join Zhongqiu Film and Television, but you took us to invest in Wu Kebo. If we don’t mention it as a holiday, Yang Xue would definitely not be happy.

Sister Wang, if I were Yang Xue, I would definitely suppress opponents like Wu Kebo and would not let him become powerful. "

"This……"

"Sister Wang, please think about it carefully." "Okay then."

Hu Jun hung up the phone, picked up his glass, clinked it with Liu Jialing and Liang Chaowei, and said:

"Yang Xue, I worked with her on a TV series before, in 02. She was very simple, but now she is really amazing!"

Liang Chao was silent on the basis, Liu Jialing nodded and said: "This time Wang Jinhua will be in a difficult situation. Zhongqiu Film and Television is now the company with the strongest operating funds in China. I don't think several Yinghuang companies can come up with as much cash as Zhongqiu Film and Television."

Hu Jun laughed and said, "It's not just that she has a lot of money, but the way she dealt with Wang Jinhua was an open and aboveboard conspiracy. Sister Wang couldn't do anything about it. She had no other options."

"Conspiracy?"

Liu Liang and the other man widened their eyes.

Hu Jun nodded and said, "Supporting us with funds and resources to open a company and a studio is just like the Enfeoffment Order. It's an open conspiracy. Neither Sister Wang nor Wu Kebo can handle it.

This is not only a funding issue, but also a resource issue. Wu Kebo has Japanese capital background, but he has no resources in China.

So even if he adopts the same approach and can provide us with financial support, he cannot provide us with resources.

But Zhongqiu Film and Television Company can. How many people from Beijing Film Academy and Beijing Film Studio went to the last meeting held by Yang Xue? At least half of the company's people are from Beijing Film Academy and Beijing Film Studio.

The support from China Film Group and National Film Group was also very strong, with two CEOs attending in person. After all, a donation of 200 million yuan, plus He Zhongqiu’s personal influence, is not something a Japanese company can compare to.”

"Is this an open conspiracy?"

Liu Liang and the others didn't know Yang Xue yet, but they were already wary of her.

……

On the 18th, the Knicks defeated the Hawks on the road, and then flew from the East to the West overnight. The players' physical strength was affected, and they lost to the Supersonics in a back-to-back game the next night, achieving a record of 52 wins and 12 losses.

On the 20th, the Knicks returned to New York, preparing to face the Spurs on the 21st.

However, the Spurs announced on the 16th that Tim Duncan would be out for three weeks due to injury, so there was no suspense in this game. The Spurs without Duncan would definitely not be a match for the Knicks.

As for whether Duncan is really injured, according to media reports, the Spurs have started resting their players since the All-Stars, so the probability of a real injury is not high.

The Knicks did not arrange rest for their players, but strengthened the rotation, reduced the playing time of important rotation players, and allowed the substitutes to play more time.

He Zhongqiu doesn't like taking turns to rest, especially for a team like the Knicks. The tickets are too expensive. People spend a lot of money to watch you play. Even people with poor financial conditions have to save money for a long time to afford a ticket. In the end, you sit in the audience with them in a suit.

When he was doing the scam in Yanjing, he always emphasized professionalism and would go to work even when it rained or snowed.

His view is the same as Jordan's, who hates rest the most.

That evening, He Zhongqiu's Five Elements Boxing and Twelve Forms Boxing were finally upgraded to level 4, and Xingyi Boxing was also upgraded to level 4.

"Congratulations to the host, Xingyiquan has been upgraded to level 4."

"Agility +5, Speed ​​+5, Flexibility +5, Balance +3, Explosive Power +2."

He Zhongqiu glanced at the panel and said happily: "Great! Xingyi is indeed worthy of being an internal martial art. After practicing to level 5, my overall quality may exceed ."

Strength 97, stamina 98, agility 90, speed 82, flexibility 90, balance 93, reaction 93, willpower 96, vision 90, sense of space 95, explosive power 100, muscles and bones 130, qi and blood 130, overall quality 98.7.

"Speed ​​level 82, this should be the speed of a top speed small forward, right?"

"My explosive power is 100, which is the limit for ordinary people. With my explosive power, my speed in a short-distance sprint is definitely comparable to that of a top-notch guard."

On the evening of the 21st, at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks defeated the Spurs without Duncan and won their 53rd game.

"Tim, you're really hurt."

After the game, He Zhongqiu asked as he shook hands with Duncan, who was in a suit.

"Well, yes, there is something wrong with my feet." Duncan chuckled.

"Oh, then there will be no problem for us to defend the title." He Zhongqiu said with surprise.

Duncan immediately showed a sad expression and said, "Yes, congratulations, Wolverine."

"Old man, you want to paralyze me? With your poor acting skills, you have the nerve to act in front of me? I am a professional." He Zhongqiu said unhappily.

Scratching his head, Duncan chuckled.

He was slightly injured, but there was no need for him to rest for three weeks. It was Popovich who arranged for him to rest.

He has already rested for 7 games on and off before, and this time he will have to rest for 9 more games to ensure that there will be no problems with his physical fitness for the playoffs.

The Wolverines want to defend their title, but Tim Duncan wants to defend his title even more, and he wants to be a dynasty even more. He is sure to win this year's championship.

The regular season continued, and at the end of March, the Knicks had 58 wins and 12 losses, ranking first in the league.

He Zhongqiu was once again named Eastern Conference Player of the Month and maintained his first place in the MVP rankings.

On April 4st, in Hong Kong, Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi got married.

Thirty tables were set up and countless wedding invitations were sent out, but in the end only ten tables were occupied. Not many people from the Hong Kong entertainment industry came, and even fewer were well-known people. Most of them were old acquaintances of Xie Si.

Some Hong Kong media did report on it, but it did not cause any waves in the mainland.

The NBA regular season has entered its final stages. With the Spurs resting, the Knicks have gradually taken the lead.

On the 5th, Chenglong called and said, "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Academy Awards invites you to come. Why don't you go? The Best Supporting Actor will definitely go to you."

"Chenglong, has he been chosen?" He Zhongqiu was stunned.

Chenglong smiled and said, “Of course the awards are selected before the awards ceremony, but they won’t be selected this early.

But as for your Best Supporting Actor award, how should I put it? They contacted me and said you have a great chance, and I think it’s you.”

"must go?"

He Zhongqiu certainly wanted to win the Best Supporting Actor award at the Academy Awards, but he was busy and couldn't spare any time.

"You'd better come. If you don't come, I guess they won't give it to you." Chenglong said.

"Then let me think about it." He Zhongqiu said.

On the 16th, Yang Xue called and asked, "Sanjin, do you want to go to the Hong Kong Film Awards? If not, I will refuse them. They have asked several times.

It is said that this year's Academy Awards was originally scheduled for March, but they wanted to ease the relationship with you, so they changed it to now."

"Is that so? It's the 22nd, right?"

"Yes, it's 22: pm on the nd, Beijing time."

"Let me calculate. The first round starts on the 24th and 25th. I will leave on the 21st, arrive in Hong Kong on the 22nd, and return to New York on the 23rd. American time should also be the 23rd, right?"

"Yes, the flight time is just enough to offset the time difference, so you can make it in time, but you should still focus on the playoffs. Make your own decision."

Yang Xue actually really hopes that He Zhongqiu will win this award. He Zhongqiu is an action actor and has not received any professional training, so his acting skills are definitely not superb, and this opportunity is rare.

"Okay, Chenglong called me a few days ago and asked me to go there. I can't refuse such a kind offer, so I'll go there."

"It's nearly 30 hours to fly back and forth. Can you handle it? No, I'll refuse them."

"No problem. My physical fitness is better than last season. I'm used to flying every few days. I don't feel tired."

After he agreed, Yang Xue immediately notified the Academy Awards Association and also informed Chenglong.

In Hong Kong, promotion will begin immediately.

"Hollywood action star and Kung Fu king He Zhongqiu will attend the 24th Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony." Hong Kong Wen Wei Po.

"NBA superstar, Wolverine He Zhongqiu will attend the 24th Academy Awards ceremony." Overseas Chinese Daily.

"Superhero He Zhongqiu will attend the 24th Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony." Ming Pao.

"Wolverine will..." TVA Asia.

The next day, major media outlets in Hong Kong reported the news.

On the evening of April 4, the Knicks defeated the Wizards at home and completed the final regular season game.

4 wins and 10 losses in April, 2 wins and 68 losses in the regular season, first in the Eastern Conference and first in the league.

Second in the Eastern Conference is the Heat with 59 wins, third is the Pistons with 54 wins, and fourth is the Bulls with 47 wins.

The Spurs, with 59 wins, are first in the Western Conference and second in the league. Their winning percentage is the same as that of the Heat, but the Spurs have defeated the Heat twice this season.

Second in the Western Conference are the Mavericks with 58 wins, third are the SuperSonics with 52 wins, and fourth are the Rockets with 51 wins.
