159. The king who descended on earth

At the same time, Hollywood,

Avatar 2 filmed by director Cameron fell into a state of stagnation, and he spent almost every day in a state of turmoil. Because the originally agreed villain No. 1 suddenly couldn't continue shooting due to physical reasons. Originally, this movie had a lot of special effects, even if Villain No. 1 stopped acting, he could still use the special effects to continue shooting.

But Cameron is famously stubborn. What he needs is a combination of reality and illusion, and special effects are always just auxiliary. Especially in the second part of the movie, he intends to make the 3D effect reach a level that can be seen by the naked eye, so he still needs a real actor to perform.

It can be said that at this stage of filming stagnation, the entire crew was dispatched to find suitable actors.

However, the plot of this film takes place on an alien planet, and the actors required by Villain One are also quite distinctive. First, it is acting skills, second, height, and finally body shape. These three points are indispensable.

If I put it in the past, I can get over it if I make do with it, but after improving the 3D picture, these will be impossible to deal with.

"Why haven't the shooting started yet? Is this going to stop indefinitely?"

"I'm burning money every day! I originally planned to cost $100 million to $200 million, but now it's almost $300 million." The investor came to the studio and couldn't help complaining to the producer.

The producer spread his hands and said helplessly: "You also know that the director is very stubborn. He has not met a satisfied actor and will not start filming. You can talk to the director in person."

The investor waved his hand, and the expression on his face was very ugly. He remembered that when Cameron filmed the Titanic, he insisted on building a big ship one by one, which cost 500 million US dollars alone. Moreover, the filming of that movie took a full seven years. He thought the film would speed up the progress, but he didn't expect that this situation would still be the case.

At this time, Cameron was seriously directing the staff to synthesize the finished clips in special effects.

At this time, the deputy director brought a large number of celebrity information.

"No, this one is not possible!"

"This height is not good!"

"I can't do it in body shape!"

"I don't know how I entered the film and television industry with this acting skills!"

Everyone in the information was denied by Cameron, and the deputy director looked helpless. It seems that all the actors today were wiped out again.

At this moment, the little assistant next to him handed over a cell phone and said, "Look at the male lead in this mv?" After reading this mv, the assistant director nodded and said, "This acting looks good, and all the conditions are also in line with each other. I just don't know how the director feels!"

"Director, how do you look at this actor??"

Cameron took it, and he glanced casually without caring, and unexpectedly he was intoxicated by it.

He asked excitedly: "Who is this actor?"

"Assistant, who is this?" the assistant director asked quickly.

"This is Ye Zheng, the leader of the Lakers."

"Watfack? A basketball player? Is his acting skills so good? I thought he was an Asian actor?" the deputy director said in surprise.

"How is the director?" the assistant director asked carefully.

Cameron slapped the table and said in surprise, "It's very suitable, just him, please contact me quickly."

"No, I'll contact you in person."

After all, this villain No. 1 has been wasting a long time, and he also hopes to continue shooting as soon as possible to perform post-production. Although Cameron doesn't care on the surface, he is more anxious than anyone else.

At this time, Ye Zheng also received a call from Cameron.

"Hello, I am director Cameron. I hope to invite you to play the villain number one in Avatar 2!" Cameron said confidently.

After all, this is a world-renowned big-produced movie, and he personally took it. Not to mention Villain No. 1, even a passerby, it made many actors steal the head.

However, Ye Zheng was not interested at all. He still wanted to focus on basketball. Ye Zheng was really not very interested in becoming an actor. Even if it was a big production and it would definitely cause a huge sensation when released worldwide, he still did not intend to participate in the acting. He did not want to enter the film and television industry.

So, he directly rejected Cameron's suggestion and hung up the phone.

At this time, the deputy director, assistant, and staff were all waiting for Cameron's next shooting plan. In their understanding, the other party would definitely agree to the opportunity to star in this movie with great joy.

However, after Cameron hung up the phone, he said hoarsely: "He refused!"

"What? I refused, it's impossible!" the deputy director asked in a daze and looked surprised.

"I introduced it very clearly, but the other party said he was not interested." Cameron said in a low voice.

At this time, the studio was silent. After two or three seconds, the assistant director said tentatively: "Why don't you fight again!"

Cameron called the second time, and this time he said it more in detail on the phone. But Ye Zheng still refused. Cameron's successive encounters made everyone embarrassed that cancer was almost happening. No one could guess what Ye Zheng was thinking, but he gave up such a good opportunity.

However, Cameron's stubborn personality also came up. Although Ye Zheng said it clearly on the phone, he decided to invite the other party in person. Because he thought Ye Zheng was really suitable for this role, he really didn't want to give up.

Since Cameron's studio is in Los Angeles, it is very convenient to find Ye Zheng. When Cameron appeared in the Lakers venue, it immediately attracted the attention of some entertainment media, and they followed up and reported on it.

Ye Zheng and Cameron appeared in a private cafe. After they greeted each other, Cameron said straight to the point: "Ye Zheng, I sincerely invite you to join."

Looking at the stubborn old man in front of him, Ye Zheng smiled helplessly. He understood what the other party meant and also saw the other party's sincerity.

"Sorry, I don't have the idea of ​​developing into the entertainment industry."

"But you made a new song MV after all, and your acting skills are so good. If you don't go to the entertainment industry to develop, it will simply ruin your acting skills." Cameron continued to persuade.

"I was shooting MV to help Taylor Swift for a favor. I really didn't plan to develop in this regard. My focus was on basketball. This is my favorite profession." Ye Zheng also said what he said in his heart.

The two of them had been together for more than an hour, and Cameron wanted to change Ye Zheng's opinion. However, during this meeting, Ye Zheng still did not agree to him to make this movie.

In the end, Cameron left disappointed. But he admired Ye Zheng very much, because facing such a huge temptation, he could keep his original intention without wavering, which was difficult for many people to do.

There is no airtight wall in the entertainment industry, and a little movement will make the media rush to report it. This incident not only caused a hurricane in the United States, but also hit the other side of the distant ocean.

When the Chinese entertainment industry also learned about this news, many celebrities felt that they didn’t believe it first. In their opinion, such a good opportunity, even if it is a py transaction, they must agree without hesitation. Therefore, many people think that Ye Zheng is a unilateral hype and a poor operation.

Three days after the news fermented, Cameron came to participate in a film and television exchange event in China, and a reporter asked this question.

Cameron said helplessly: "Ye Zheng is really difficult to deal with. Even though he has invited him three times, he still refuses."

This news caused another hurricane in the Chinese entertainment industry, undoubtedly slapped many celebrities in the face. They all thought it was Ye Zheng's unilateral hype, and it turned out that they really didn't plan to perform.

I thought the other party was pretending, but I didn’t expect that the other party was really awesome! Many people admire Ye Zheng very much!

"It's worthy of being a superstar who can gain a foothold in the NBA. With this, many people can't do it."

"Ye Zheng's pursuit has reached another level." "Please accept my worship by the king who is coming to the earth!"

"Ye Zheng, you are simply the peak winner of humanity!!"

...

Although the Cameron incident set off a huge wave in the Chinese entertainment industry, it did not affect Ye Zheng at all.

Under Ye Zheng's leadership, the Lakers entered a storm of victory. First, they won four consecutive away games, against the Washington Wizards, Denver Nuggets, Charlotte Hornets and Boston Celtics respectively.

In the face of the Celtics Irving's outbreak, Ye Zheng led the Lakers to launch a strong suppression and defeated the Celtics with a score of 123 to 120.

The Lakers then began a crazy winning streak, setting a historical record of 34 consecutive wins.

The Lakers' longest winning streak was 33 games, ranking first in NBA history. In the 1971-1972 season, the Lakers' record was 69 wins and 13 losses, becoming the NBA champion at that time. The combination of veteran Chamberlain, West, and star Goodric Helstone and others played a miraculous effect. The team set the longest winning streak of 33 games from November 5, 1971 to January 2, 1972.

However, now this winning streak has been broken by Ye Zheng. And it seems that he may continue to win streak.

The second place is the Miami Heat. The Heat introduced Lewis, Anderson and Ray Allen in the 2012-2013 season. With the team's away victory over the Magic, the Heat ushered in 27 consecutive victories in the team's history. On March 28, 2013, the Heat, who was only 6 games away from the Lakers' longest winning streak, lost to the Bulls away, and its winning streak was also ended.

The third place is the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors achieved 73 wins and 9 losses in the regular season of the 2015-2016 season. It is worth mentioning that the 24 consecutive wins at the beginning of the season created the best start in NBA history. On December 13, 2015, with the Warriors losing to the Bucks away, the team's winning streak was terminated, and they also tasted the first loss of the season.

The Houston Rockets ranked fourth, and under the leadership of Yao and McGrady in the 2007-2008 season, the Rockets ushered in the best 22 consecutive wins in history. At the same time, the team successfully surpassed the Lakers and jumped to the top of the Western Conference, but the team was up and down due to the team's injury. The Rockets' winning streak record was ended. The team was unable to break through the first round of the playoffs.

The Milwaukee Bucks ranked fifth, which won the only NBA championship in the history of the team in the 1970-1971 season. The team achieved an absolute advantage of 20 consecutive victories in the game and finally reached 66 wins and 16 losses in the regular season.

These teams with winning streak have been ended by the Lakers, and even the Lakers' victory is still on the way!

The Lakers have played in the regular season so far, with a total of 73 wins and 8 losses. In other words, there are still 5 games left in the regular season.
